It’s that time of the year again – to knuckle down and sink your teeth into the serious side of life.
Whether it’s the change in the weather or the fact that you realise the year is almost half way through, the stress of modern living can get to us all. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce the tension.
Relaxation exercises can be a life-saver. Spending twenty minutes a day going for a walk, having a bath or just sitting and tuning out will help to manage stress built up over a day.
Getting enough sleep seems obvious, but it’s surprising how many of us are functioning on too few hours a night. The average ideal sleep time is eight hours a night.
Exercise for at least for ten minutes a day. Let the natural endorphins battle the negative feelings of tension!
Take time for the little things. organise a massage or run a warm bath. Even turning down the TV for 10 minutes of quiet will do wonders!
