6 Ways to Destress Your Life

Hello, readers! It's been awhile since I posted. Sorry about that. As always things are crazy. I'm one person trying to do too many things, but I know I'm not the only one so push on I shall! Anyway, with all the craziness currently in my life I've been putting a lot of thought into stress and how to get rid of it! These are some of the ways I destress my life. And, yes, some of them may be a little silly, but I hope they can still be helpful to you all. :)

1) Cuddle With a Teddy Bear
Judge me if you wish, but I have no shame! Unlike people teddy bears can't talk meaning they can't complain, but that they can always listen. Are you having one of those weeks where everything id due at the same time and everyone is turning to you for answers? I say shut your bedroom door, grab a soft teddy and vent to your teddy like there was no tomorrow. You'll feel better. Trust me.

2) Watch A Musical
Singing? Dancing? Theater? Uh, yes, please! In musicals people break out into song randomly and dance anywhere they want. It's something about the carefree nature of musicals that releases all the tension from my muscles. Not to mention that singing and dancing are both fun extracurriculars. When you sing and dance, it's just you and that feeling you get from being free. So, pop in your copy of The Sound of Music, snuggle into the couch and let the music take you away.

3)Bake
I don't encourage gluttony, but a little sugar every once in awhile never hurt nobody! But it's not only the sugar. The whole process of baking is relaxing. You have the instructions, you have the ingredients and then, essentially, you just mix them all together and pop it in the oven. Voila! It's simple so, you don't have to over think it and your brain gets some times to rest.


4) Party
Loosen up. There is nothing wrong with, every once in a while, forgetting personal constraints and social restrictions. Go out with some friends, have a drink ( if you are of age, of course), flirt, dance, and do other silly things ( hopefully none you will regret). Partying is all about forgetting the serious business for a night and just having fun!

5) Pick Up A Good Book
Having trouble dealing with your own problems? Why not read about other people's problems then? I don't know about you all, but reading the Sookie Stackhouse series makes my problems seems minuscule and doable.

6) Sleep
It's simple and natural. When you get to that breaking point just say "screw it" and take a nap. Sometimes your body and mind need to restore themselves. Instinctively the way to do this is to sleep. So, don't fight it. Let's the sandman bring you a sweet dream. :)

Your Turn: How do you destress? Do you ave any additions to my list? Any tips on how to live a nearly stress free life? I wanna know. Tell me! :)
