Ladies are any of you out there feeling stressed? Typically I do but I have learned that we have to take a stress break when ever we can. When I say stress break I mean we have to figure out what areas in our lives are causing it and then figure out a way to decompress. For most of us it’s the job, the relationship, the economy….I could go on and on but loving yourself first means staying healthy. Stress is not good for our health and too many of us are having heart attacks, ulcers, high blood pressure and the culprit is stress.
Pampering usually helps me. I’m not saying that it’s the cure, we all know there are other issues going on when it comes to stress that we need to keep in check. All I’m saying is that pampering is a nice break that we all deserve. It doesn’t have to be any big expensive spa package to constitute as pampering either. It can be as simple as coming home and just soaking your feet in Epsom salt. Pampering is whatever makes you feel good and lets face it ladies, WE ARE WORTH IT!!!
Here are a few things I like to do:
Take a long walk – I live very close to the river and I love taking walks and just looking at the water and nature’s beauty all around me. I tend to forget about the days events and I’m also getting some exercise in.
Take short breaks during the day – If you are able to step away from your work it is always great to just go outside for a few minutes. You would be surprised at how much better you feel if you just step away and give your mind a break.
Relax in a nice soothing bubble bath – I love to light a few candles and turn on some soft music and just let my mind drift away. I feel so refreshed and rested after a nice soak.
Treat yourself to a manicure/pedicure – It is awesome to just sit back and have someone else paint your nails and your toes, I love it!!
Treat yourself to a 30 minute massage – This doesn’t have to be expensive. Check in your city for massage schools because sometimes the students give massages on certain days of the week for far less than a spa price.
These are just a few things that I like to do but there are so many things you can do to help yourself relax and relief stress. Take time to think about a few small things that you can add to your daily routine that will make you feel better. Just another step in loving yourself first!!
