Is the stress in your life beginning to feel\nlike a runaway train? Whenever you feel like you\u2019re getting caught up, there\u2019s\nanother basketball game or holiday dinner that finds its way onto your\nschedule. And just like that, you\u2019re behind once again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if you really want to get ahead of the\nstress, there are a few things you should start doing today to remove\nstress naturally<\/a>. It\u2019s a\nprocess, for sure, but it\u2019s easier than you might think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow these tips for destressing your\nhousehold and becoming stress free once and for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mess and clutter in your home environment is\nmore than just an eyesore. It can actually encourage feelings of stress and\nanxiety. So try to keep things as tidy as possible. And at the very least,\nclean off all the floors, countertops and furniture surfaces. It\u2019s not just\nmess that\u2019s a problem. It\u2019s also clutter, so keep your decor as minimal as\npossible within your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When stress is high, you can combat the\nnegative energy by diffusing\ncalming oils<\/a> like chamomile, lavender and ylang\nylang. If nothing else, you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019ve just stepped into a spa\nwhenever you enter your home. It\u2019s just one more way to help you leave the\nstress of your day at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you cook more meals at home, you\u2019ll\nreduce harmful chemicals, salt and fat in your diet. And when you\u2019re eating\nhealthier whole foods, you\u2019ll also consume more nutrients. And nutrients like\nomega-3 fatty acids and magnesium can help equip your body to better handle any\nstress that may come your way. Look for quick and easy recipes, so cooking doesn\u2019t\nadd to your stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Get the family together to get into a daily\nexercise routine. It could be as simple as going for a 30-minute walk after\ndinner every night, but be sure everyone gets moving. When you exercise, your\nbody releases\nstress-busting endorphins<\/a> that will\ninstantly make you feel more peaceful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And if you can\u2019t make time to exercise together, that\u2019s okay. Just be sure everyone has an exercise routine daily. Exercise<\/a> is one of the best natural stress busters around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re feeling stressed, it\u2019s easy to\nstay stuck in that place. Since you\u2019re feeling anxiety on all levels, you feel\nlike you\u2019re supposed to sit and ruminate over your problems. But that\u2019s\nactually one of the worst things you can do. Instead, plan to keep busy with\nthe family while you\u2019re all at home. When you\u2019re having fun, you\u2019re a lot less\nlikely to think about any problems or to-do lists you may have. And as a bonus,\nit\u2019s literally\nimpossible to feel anxiety while you\u2019re laughing<\/a>. So have more laughs and enjoy your time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you feel stress starting to come on, it\nmay be a good time to reprioritize your list of things to do. When you put the\n\u201chave tos\u201d ahead of the \u201cwant tos,\u201d it\u2019s easier to see what might be able to\ndrop off your list. And while you\u2019re at it, you may want to ruthlessly cut a\nfew things out. If you have too much on your plate, something will suffer\nanyway. May as well admit you can\u2019t do it all before you drive yourself crazy.\nIf you can delegate something, do so. If not, just let everyone know you\u2019re\noverextended and can\u2019t handle the task at this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s especially important to find time for\nyourself amid some of the most stressful moments in your life. This sounds\ncounterintuitive, but if you don\u2019t take care of yourself, you won\u2019t have the\ncapacity to care for others. No matter how you look at it, \u201cme time\u201d is\nimportant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re feeling especially stressed at\nhome, understand that it\u2019s normal to go through periods of anxiety. In most\ncases, these times are temporary. Take care of yourself and your family, and be\nsure to prioritize what\u2019s real and what\u2019s imagined stress (on your part or\nsomeone else\u2019s). When you can take a step back and look at your situation objectively,\nthings should get a lot easier. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Is the stress in your life beginning to feel like a runaway train?
