Reducing Stress and Encouraging Cheer
November 20, 2019

Ideas can get stuck in your head. Then, they just keep spinning around, reminding you about what you forgot, messed up or missed. When that happens, it’s hard to break the cycle, and ultimately, you may just feel caught in a sad place. There are ways, however, to break the anxious feelings. Use the following tips to help establish a positive mindset throughout your day.

Start Organizing

For many people, chaos can create anxiety, pushing people to their limit. Take household chores for example. If the house is cluttered, you may feel overwhelmed. You may not be able to pick up everything all at once, but try to establish rules for where things belong and how you want items cleaned. It may even help set up certain times of day when you want to stop and just pick up. A tidy room might just create a calmer atmosphere.

Eat Right

Did you wake up in the morning and look at the box of donuts? Or did you find yourself desiring an apple instead? Studies show that what we eat might just impact levels happiness as well as productivity. Don’t completely ditch the sugar, but consider making it a once-in-a-while treat. Too much of it (as well as caffeine) could have negative effects on your emotions. In addition, consider switching to mostly unprocessed foods, allowing nutrient-rich foods such as eggs, vegetables, and lean protein to become the bulk of your diet. In fact, some delectables actually have vitamins that may lift spirits (such as kale or brussel sprouts). Consider adding one or two to your daily routine.

Exercise Regularly

Finding time to work out can be difficult; however, it does have several potential psychological benefits. First of all, cardiovascular activities, particularly done on a routine basis, work to diminish the body’s stress hormones. Lower levels of adrenaline and cortisol could produce less worry and more cheer. In addition, endorphins are sent out. This chemical could trigger more positivity and happiness. Doing these activities in the house, though, can prove trying. Weights, equipment and space are needed, and that just isn’t always possible in the living room. If you are short on an extra room, consider creating a space in your backyard. You’ll want to purchase a sturdy fixture to offer a quiet, open area. SteelMaster sheds, for instance, are sturdy and easy to adapt. Transform it into a workout studio, an escape from the craziness of the day.

Meet People

When life feels overwhelming, hiding might seem like a good idea. Rather than grab a blanket and the remote, call a friend and make plans to do something together. Sometimes getting outside with others can make you forget what caused the stress in the first place. It doesn’t need to be a big ordeal. Go have coffee, watch a movie or head to the beach. Try to do something you love and that can distract you for just a bit. Break the mental aggravation, and give yourself some joy.

Life takes its toll on people. Rather than let it drag you down, find something that lifts you up, and remember that what you do might impact how you feel. Therefore, take care of your body and your mind.
