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?
