9 Natural Stress Relief Methods to Try...

In our busy modern world... we get so much information charging at us every second... and for many of us... it can get overwhelming!

So today, I am going to list some stress relief methods that may help calm your mind and bring some order in our disordered world...

Stress Relief Idea #1: Music

Ideally, you shouldn't be listening to angry, thumping or loud music. Instead try listening to some classical concerts or wonderful singing groups. For myself, I like to listen to the High Kings... an Irish singing group that covers old Irish songs... and do it very well. Go to Youtube for some of their songs.

Stress Relief Idea #2: Get a Relaxing or Vigorous Massage (depends on your personal preference)

Massages improves your body's circulation and helps eliminate toxins from your body. And besides... it is a gift you give yourself for tolerating the hustle and bustle of a hectic lifestyle.

Stress Relief Idea #3: Exercise

This is an old standby and don't disregard it! Working out allows your body to release all the built up stress. The key here is not to "stick" with the same old routines. Mix it up! How about bodyweight exercises? You can make an interval out of doing a bunch of them for 30 minutes.

Stress Relief Idea #4: Only Look at Your Emails 3 Times a Day.

Most if not all emails do not add much positive benefits to your busy schedule. There is always an email that is bound to upset you. Somebody isn't happy with you or somebody has a problem and is dumping it on you. Instead of letting emails control your life by constantly checking them all day long... just shut down your email program and only open it once in the mid morning, once in the mid afternoon, and once in the evening... I think you will find your productivity significantly improve!

Stress Relief Idea #5: Commuting

Ugh! Everyone is driving to work at the same time and some folks have been driving for an hour or more... and suddenly... they get ticked off and commit behaviors they wouldn't have considered in any other situation. It is called "road rage" and lesser terms... but still... it is a conflict and it sure doesn't put you in a great mood when you arrive at work! So do this instead, drive defensively and do not get competitive with other drivers. Give yourself plenty of time to get to work so you won't be anxious to get there in a hurry.

Stress Relief Idea #6: Stress Ball

This is a malleable ball that you can squeeze and manipulate with your hands and fingers to relieve muscle tension. It works for a lot of people.

Stress Relief Idea #7: Calming and Soothing Herbal Teas

As they say... billions of people can't be wrong! Herbal teas generally don't have the caffeine that regular tea and coffee does. I like Mint, Chamomille or Ginseng Teas. There are others you may prefer for the smells and taste.

Stress Relief Idea #8: A Hot Bath!

One of my favorite things to do... use calming bath salts and candles... shut the door to keep the steam in and try to make the bath as hot as you can stand... and then let the heat slowly remove all the accumulated stresses from the day.

Stress Relief Idea #9: Totally Tranquil

I recommend the hour long Totally Tranquil meditation track by Holothink that you can download immediately and burn it on a CD or even copy it to your Ipod and use it whenever and wherever you find a need to get instant stress relief.
