Stress
is something that we all deal with from time to time. During a busy week, we can often let stress
get the best of us, resulting in missed deadlines, failed expectations, and
feelings of discouragement. While stress
is sometimes inevitable, there are ways to de-stress and ease your mind during
a hectic week.
Whether
it’s going on a health retreat or simply
taking a few moments each day to meditate, there are many ways you can
decompress during your daily routine.
Here a few tips for de-stressing during a busy week.
Get Enought Sleep
Though
you probably hear this all the time, it’s actually true. It is extremely important for adults to get 7-9 hours of sleep per night, as anything less can make you feel sluggish and unable
to think clearly. Being well-rested is
the key to performing throughout a busy workday, and not getting enough sleep
can cause feelings of stress and irritability.
To
avoid this, make sure you’re getting the recommended amount of sleep each
night. If you’re someone who often has
trouble falling asleep, try turning off all electronics and distractions an
hour before you go to bed, as these things can often keep us awake at night and
make it difficult for our brains to shut off.
Exercise
I
would be lying if I said I wasn’t guilty of neglecting my exercise during the
busy work week. It can often be hard to
carve out time to work out, especially after a long, exhausting day.
However,
making time to exercise is crucial for your overall wellbeing, and can be
extremely effective in decreasing stress.
Running, jogging, or even going on a long walk can aid in decreasing
stress, as exercise produces endorphins that have been proven to be a natural mood booster.
I
always feel better after going on a long run, so the next time you’re feeling
overwhelmed with stress, take some time to exercise.
Make for Socialization
Powering
through a busy work week can often feel isolating, and it’s easy to feel like
you’re losing touch with the outside world.
Because of this, spending time with friends and family is extremely
important.
Even
socializing with your coworkers outside of the office can help ease feelings of
stress, and you will be able to bond over shared work experiences. If you aren’t able to interact with your
coworkers outside of the office, consider holding weekly meetings to discuss
any work-related issues. This will not
only encourage productivity and open communication, but breaking up the work
day by interacting with your colleagues can aid in decreasing stress.
In
addition to getting enough sleep, exercising, and socialization, practicing
self-care is extremely important in de-stressing during a busy week.
Taking
a relaxing bath, listening to your favorite music, or simply sitting outside
and enjoying some fresh air are all things you can do to practice self-care and
unwind after a long day.
Other
things you can do to make yourself feel better including reading a good book,
spending time with pets, cook a meal for yourself, or watch your favorite movie
or tv show. You work hard, so you
deserve to treat yourself at the end of the day.
