REDUCE YOUR STRESS

REDUCE YOUR STRESS



            In my life I have two major stressors that contribute in my life during my daily routine. The number one problem is family problems, and number two traffic. Not counting school. My day starts every morning driving to school, and in order to have a good day I need to have enough rest. Freeways get very congested and that is how stress starts by thinking that we are not going to be at school on time. I also think that family problems contribute to stress because in order to function I have to have a clear mind. Problems affect me by not letting me sleep. So it is a circle. If I don’t sleep I cannot drive. I try to help my family, but also need to think that I cannot solve their problems.
Therefore I practice different techniques to reduce the stress it causes me like take walks daily to have a clear mind or do what I call me time. I do deep breathing relaxation techniques while walking. I learned that I cannot solve people’s problems, but if I am relaxed I probably can take things in a better way. By practicing deep breathing for a few minutes while I take my daily walks makes me feel relaxed and this helps me sleep more comfortable and prepares me for a long day. http://www.helpguide.org/articles/stress/relaxation-techniques-for-stress-relief.htm

            Me time is also another technique that I like to practice and this allows me to dedicate time to do my nails, probably hair, and sometimes a facial, pedicure or manicure or just wear make-up. Some people prefers to go shopping and treat themselves with beautiful clothing, a purse, perfume or maybe shoes. In the other hand If I go out and stay in traffic is not going to be time for me. So I choose to stay home and do something for me that is how I like it and I find I enjoy it. I hope that while I continue practicing these techniques I find the relief that I need to be relaxed and not stressed.
