Activities That Can Help Reduce Your Stress


Nobody wants to live with stress as a constant shadow. Stress can be caused by numerous events, most of which are out of people’s control. It could arise as a result of a drastic change in the social environment. The good news is that there are certain activities which can help alleviate an individual’s stress level. One such activity is exercise, as it improves blood flow and oxygen. Secondly, spending time with loved ones can make a huge difference in someone’s mood. Last but not least, everyone needs to participate in a few activities that are fun and exciting, such as games and exercise. Figure out which of the following activities work best for you to reduce stress.

Exercise

Exercise helps reduce stress due to the effect it has on the brain. Working out can take your mind off stress, as well as improve blood flow and oxygen levels. It releases endorphins or ‘feel good’ neurotransmitters. In addition to alleviating stress, working out has a positive impact on your overall physical health. Some of the other pros that come from exercise are a boost of energy, blood circulation, and controlled weight. Regular exercise can even help maintain a constant sleep schedule. Given the long listen of benefits, exercise is highly important in one’s day-to-day life. It both reduces stress and helps you maintain a healthy life.

Loved ones

Strong relationships with loved ones can help people get through stressful situations. Sometimes, all that is needed is a hug and talking out a rough time with a friend or family member. Getting your thoughts off your chest is always beneficial in these types of situations. Moreover, relationships with family and friends will influence people to make the life choices that they do. A supportive friend, for instance, will tell you when you are about to make a bad life decision, even if you don’t realize it. Your loved ones want the best for you. Thus, they will encourage you to live your best life; a life that is devoid of stress.

Games 

Participating in fun activities, such as games, will further help reduce stress. The Escape Room Indy is an example of one such game. It is an Escape Room game where participants can solve mysteries in different rooms, each with its own unique storyline. It’s a fun activity that helps people take their minds off any stress and focus on solving the puzzle at hand.

Letting stress go unattended can have consequences on your health. As nobody wants to live in negativity or sadness, it’s important to help alleviate those moments when they come along. This can be done through some of the points mentioned previously, such as exercising, spending time with loved ones and participating in various different types of games. These are the activities that can drastically improve someone’s mood, and even if they don't make stress disappear, they will help the situation. Even the smallest amount of time spent on your wellbeing and doing activities you love can have an effect on your mental health.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week!  I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea  deodorant  that I had never used prior.  I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp???  Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening!  :)  I was dry and I did not stink!  :) WOOT WOOT!  I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future.  :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E.  :) Don't like roll on's??  They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid.  :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them.  However,
