Tips to Relieve Stress and Cope Everyday
The post below is the April "Mental Health Minute" from the Mental Health America of Greater Indianapolis. The tips are things known by RTs -- but they serve as good reminders for all.
Maintaining mental wellness, enlisting the help of others when you need it and surrounding yourself with a supportive, healthy environment are essential in today’s modern, on-the-go world. Here are just a few of the ways you can relieve stress and cope with everyday life:!
Get plenty of rest– Make certain to devote a full seven to eight hours of sleep each night to sustain a proper balance of physical and mental health.
Go for a walk – Enjoying a long walk at a moderate pace allows you to reflect on your day while getting the blood flowing. For an added spin, invite family members and friends to join you for an evening stroll.
Exercise your mind - Challenge yourself with a jigsaw puzzle, solve riddles or read a good book.
Spend time with others – Reach out to someone you haven’t talked to in awhile and create new memories. Call on a friend or relative to join you as you run errands or complete routine, everyday activities. Doing things together is a great way to raise your spirits and engage those around you in your life.
Indulge yourself – Soothe aching bones and wash away worrisome thoughts with a long bath or hot shower. Enjoy a healthy dessert, sip a cool glass of iced tea or juice when it’s hot outside curl up under a blanket and relax when it’s cold.
Make the most of leisure time - Make plans with family members, loved ones and/or a tour group to visit a place you’ve always wanted to go. Join a club, start a new hobby or learn a new skill such as gardening, bird watching or dancing.
Get involved– Volunteering is a great way to give back. Knowing that you have helped someone else can help you to feel better about yourself. Plus, sharing your time with others is a great way to get out and meet new people, with common goals and interests.
