Stressed? Overwhelmed?

Have you ever had a week where you felt like everything was going wrong? Or you were so busy you don't remember eating, sleeping, or driving home from work? I know we all have these days or weeks. Anytime you feel so overwhelmed or stressed take a break! If you sit at a desk all day and feel fatigued try standing up and stretching your body out . Reach for the ceiling and take deep breathes...count to 10 and repeat a few times. Stretching your body out will get oxygen flowing through your entire body which will help relieve stress as well as wake you up. If you work in a physical job where you are on your feet all day try sitting down and doing the same breathing exercise as listed above. Breathing calmly can really relax your body and calm your nerves. After work take a 10 minute walk or try yoga. Anything to relax your mind, body, and soul! Being stressed not only causes tension on the body but it can hinder weight loss and sleeping patterns. So if you are feeling stress or overwhelmed take some YOU time! Relax for 5 to 10 minutes and go back to what you were doing. Doing this a few times a day can really release a lot of stress in your life. Give it a try!

Get Fit, Stay well!
