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.
