1.
Take
a walk
Yes
there will be no prizes on creativity for this one but I actually find it one
of the most effective ways to de-stress. Just get out of the
house/work/building/wherever you are and go get some fresh air. I always find
things fall into perspective and I can feel the stress fading away with every
step, especially when that step is into a beer garden. Each lunch time at work,
especially on one of those days, I
make sure I get out for a short walk even if it’s just for ten minutes. It
releases endorphins and you might catch some lovely views.
2.
Exercise
& eat well
When
I don’t exercise and eat bad it definitely effects my mood. I begin to feel
down and sluggish. On the other hand, when I regularly work out and ditch the
sugar I feel better about myself, and my clothes fit a little better too…win
win.
3.
Listen
to your favourite Music
Put
on your favourite jam (yeah I went there) and get lost in the music. Remember
that album you used to love growing up? That song that you love dancing to? The
one you know every single lyric to (and probably have an awesome dance routine
to go along with it)? Whack it on and forget about the present for a moment.
4.
Pamper
night
Who
doesn’t love a pamper night. I can be so anti-social, I love spending a night
in, or even a weekend in on my own. I start by having a nice relaxing Lush bath
and putting on a face mask. Next I order in food, and by food I mean Dominos
and plenty of it, put on my comfiest pair of pyjamas and binge watch Netflix. I
get to watch all the TV shows like Gossip Girl that I can’t watch when the
boyfriend is around and eat like no one’s watching.
5.
Do
something fun!
One
of the most stress reducing things I ever did was to go to an adult ball pool.
It was an exhibition that was on at the Museum of Science and Industry in
Manchester (I think it went all over the country too) and oh em gee it was so much fun! It was so de-stressing to
act like a child again, doing back flips and taking silly pictures. The next
fun things I’m planning on doing are Jump
Nation and Junk Yard Golf.
What
do you do to de-stress?
I too like to go for a walk and stick my headphones on when having a stressful day. I also like to plan days out in places I've never been before with friends as a way to go somewhere new and forget about work or whatever for a day and just have fun! I also use an app called Headspace that helps you when your having a stressful day or suffer from anxiety which I recommend you try out!

ReplyDeleteI find that going for a light run helps me to de-stress as it releases endorphins and makes me a lot more chilled. Also, having a movie day with my boyfriend helps alot :)

Thank you! Ah yes, a light run always makes me feel better and a movie night with the boyfriend :) Especially on a Friday night so you can have a movie marathon without worrying about having to wake up early! x
