Tips for Managing Stress

Take Care of Your Body

There’s a reason you reach for chocolates and ice cream when you’re feeling stressed.

However, these “comfort foods” can actually compound your problem.

Although it’s tempting to eat fast food and unhealthy meals, by keeping your nutritional schedule, you can help your body deal with stress more effectively.

Have a Regular Exercise Routine

Burning calories can go a long way toward relieving stress.

It also lowers your blood pressure, cholesterol, and helps prevent heart disease and strokes.

Meditate

Guided meditation is a wonderful way to calm your anxiety and help alleviate stress.

Get Plenty of Sleep

Sleep usually goes out the window at the first sign of stress, and that’s a shame because rest gives your body a chance to “reboot.”

Reduce (or Eliminate) Caffeine

We’re not saying you have to give up that morning cup of Joe.

What we are saying is that too much caffeine can make you anxious and jittery.
