- Exercise: Physical activity is a great stress blocker. Your mind and body are operating freely together. Consider the best exercise you can do and will cost you noting except a healthy mind and body, walking. - Include in schedule to walk 3-4 times a week. 20-30 minutes each walk is enough to feel the benefits.
- Talk Your Way Out of Stress: Get support from friends and/or family members. Talking helps to release the built up emotions that you need to let go.
- Do Something Special for Someone: The more you help others have a better life....the better life you will have. When you help someone it takes your mind off the stressful situation and allows you to recharge yourself with positive energy.
