Step away from the spoons...






I am a stress eater.  I am always looking for ways to deal with stress that don’t involve diving head first into the Häagen Dazs.  Here are five:

 

1.     Take a nap.  Sometimes we just need a rest to reset our stress-meter.

2.     Go for a walk.  And not with the local café with those delicious pastries as a destination.  Fresh air, sunlight, and motion are all good stress-busters.

3.     Call a friend.  Connection reduces stress.  Even a short break to catch up can do wonders.

4.     Breathe.  Deep breaths get us back in touch with our body rhythms.

5.     Do something that needs both hands.  Read a book, knit, play drums, fold the laundry.  If both hands are working, they can’t be shoving pretzels into our faces.

 

Got any more?
