5 Quick Stress Busters

Stress is fast becoming the biggest health problem in modern societies. Economic pressures, work pressures, family pressures - so much to do so little time to do it all! Here's 5 fast ways to ease the pressure and relieve anxiety :

1. Make time to trade off from the daily hassles and relax for at least one hour every day. Get off life's merry-go-round and do something you enjoy. Taking a relaxing bath with music and candles, playing an instrument and reading are all excellent ways to unwind and will be extremely beneficial to your mental health.

2. If you're dealing with an adverse situation and you have a lot on your plate then it can be very difficult to find answers. You're caught up in the midst of a sandstorm and it is very difficult to see the way out. A good suggestion is to get some distance from your problems so you can corral your mind. If possible, take a day or even a weekend away from your usual atmosphere, somewhere peaceful, and calm down. Take a notebook with you so you can write down any ideas. Distance away from problems can bring clarity and by relaxing, you'll be calmer and solutions will come far easier than when you're in the heat of struggle.

3. One of the reasons people become stressed is because they are facing a change or even a number of changes to their lives. Change is a constant in life and refusing to accept change can cause stress levels to rocket. When you are faced with a change, try to find the positives associated with change and embrace change instead of resisting it. Every change presents an chance for you to grow and there are always positives to find in even the most demanding of circumstances. Change doesn't bring stress, it's all about how you react to change and if you react in a pessimistic way, you will do yourself no end of harm.

4. There always seems to be an endless list of chores that need doing: repairs around the home, paperwork, car maintenance, throwing out junk, cleaning the patio, weeding the garden - on and on and on! The more we put them off, the more the list grows and the more they contribute to your anxiety levels. So make a list of all of these chores and then schedule something I call a "Blitz Day". On this day, you will rise early and spend the whole day doing each of these jobs. Take few breaks and only have a quick bite at lunch and just blitz through these irritating but necessary tasks. This will get rid of them, you'll lower the stress they cause but more importantly, you'll understand just how effective and industrious you can be when you apply the full force of your will to finish things.

5. Pamper yourself for a day. This is a day where you break away from from the hustle and bustle of everyday living and enjoy some stress-free time. You'll also feel excellent and give your well being a colossal boost. On this day, have a light workout, a swim, a sauna, a Jacuzzi, a steam room or a massage. Try to do this at least once a month, it is an excellent stress reliever.

The 5 Tips here will help you to significantly reduce your stress levels but they'll only work for you if you put them to good use. Give them a go - you'll be astonished at the results!
