Reducing stress can be difficult when life does not co-operate. It is something that you have to be mindful of and manage for yourself. I have decided to keep a diary to see what my stress trigger points are and then decide what I can do to avoid them. An alternative route to my previous approaches that really did not work or help me.
I have been able to recognise the stressful points during the day and with a bit of planning, adapt how I respond to them. So instead of comfort eating after a stressful day I keep my needlework to hand and have some alternative healthy snacks ready to go. Instead of a glass of wine when I can not sleep, I am trying camomile tea and a relaxing bath. I am also making my bedroom more of a relaxing haven. Hopefully it will all add up to less stress in my environment.
What are you doing?
