Eisure Activities For Stress Relief

There are several activities we may be drawn to during times of stress. We may think we’re just being “lazy” but sometimes we know what we truly need more than we realize; we all need a healthy balance between hard work and rest. Everyone needs some “down time” so they can have the energy to keep working their hardest when they need to.

Whether you choose a quick game of solitaire or a night of games with friends, don’t forget to play.

Curl Up With A Good Book

Whether you choose a thriller, a tea-cozy mystery, or the latest book that all your friends seem to be reading (if your friends are readers), engaging with a good book is something that adults need to do more of, and can be a wonderful stress management strategy. […]

Literally Do Nothing

While many people find it more challenging at first, literally doing nothing - thinking nothing, feeling nothing, doing nothing - is a wonderful stress management tool that can be utterly transformative. I’m talking about the practice of meditation. Allowing your mind to completely clear and remain clear is counter-intuitive, but relaxing both physically and emotionally. […]
