It’s been over a year since the pandemic has changed all of our lives. As a result, people are more stressed out than ever. Here are some of the ways I deal with stress.
- Go outside. There’s nothing like sunshine and fresh air to brighten your day.
- Sleep. It may help the time pass more quickly if you’re waiting for news. Truth be told if you’re a writer, you probably don’t sleep much. Might as well catch up on your z’s.
- Read a funny book. My go to books are always cozy mysteries.
- Organize something. I’m not kidding. This is my number go to in times of stress.
- Go Somewhere. Traveling is a lot more challenging these days, but you don’t have to go anywhere remote to take a break from stressing routine. For example when the weather is nice, I write by a local lake and just being away from home for a few hours gives me a new perspective.
- Retail therapy. You don’t have to break the bank for this. Sometimes all it takes is a new nail polish from the drugstore.
- A sweet treat. I typically stick to my healthy eating plan, but every so often, I let myself indulge.
- Get crafty. Do something artistic and with your hands can give you a great sense of accomplishment. This is the main reason I started my Etsy Shop.
- Exercise. My favorites are indoor cycling and swimming. Taking into consideration how seriously you took tip #7, you might want to double up on #9.
- Pray. Remember, God is there for you when you need him.
Happy reading! ❤
