TIPS TO REDUCE STRESS
 |
Stress can make you feel nervous, sad or depressed. You may worry a lot about your family, work and money problems. Living with these struggles every day can leave you tired, nervous and feeling that there is no way out of your situation. |
 |
Here are ways to reduce stress:
1. Take a few deep breaths. This makes you breathe slower and helps your muscles relax. |
2. Exercise - take a walk during the day. |
3. Think positive. Remember the things that are good in your life. |
4. Count to ten. This makes you stop and relax before you react to the stressful
situation. |
5. Take a good stretch. Stretching makes muscles relax and helps you feel less tense. |
6. Massage the tense muscles. The muscles in the back of your neck and upper back
usually get tense when you are stressed. |
7. Take hot baths or showers to help you relax. |
8. Listen to good music. |
 9. Talk to your family and friends about your feelings. It is important for them to know how you feel so they can help you. |
 10. Get help when you need it. If you are losing sleep or you have headaches and neck or back pain, you should go to your clinic. |
