Reducing and managing stress is critical to maintaining overall health and vitality because it is one of the leading contributors to heart problems, anxiety, soreness, and any number of health problems. To lower blood pressure, tension, and anxiety, you need to incorporate stress-reducing activities into your daily schedule.

Exercise is a great way to reduce stress. The endorphins released during exercise have a natural stress-reducing effect and promote a sense of vitality and well being. Yoga is a great way to maintain your stress levels; It stimulates the body, mind, and spirit together to foster a tremendous sense of oneness and harmony with yourself and your surroundings.  One of my favorite poses when I’m stressed are child pose, mainly because it causes you to calm down and breathe, it also aids into relaxation which you probably are in need of if you’re stressing out

Also when I am really stressed out sometimes you need to sweat it out, at least I do, and doing a bikram yoga or kickboxing class, or even just going on a great run on the beach or through a favorite part of your town can do the trick!  

 

Hope you have a great day – & remember to just breathe…
