Quit smoking - no need to explain why, you know it's bad for you, your family around you, your pets, everyone.
Relax
- Ok, you think you're too busy - taking time out to relax quietly for
even just few minutes will refresh your mind and body. You'll have
renewed energy and enthusiasm to tackle work or the family.
Follow these tips for reducing stress if you need some ideas.
Sleep
- my Mum used to say "no-one ever died through lack of sleep". Well
maybe they don't, but if I don't get enough I surely feel half dead and
perhaps you do too. Getting enough sleep means we can function properly
in all aspects of our life.
Smile
- Oh, it feels so good to smile. If you are feeling down, think of
something or someone special - I bet you'll smile and a big weight will
lift off your shoulders. Take a look at the depression checklist - in case it's more than just feeling down.
Cut
the Caffeine - if you are sometimes anxious, restless and irritable, or
have trouble sleeping, it could be due to drinking too many cups of
coffee. Look out for the warning signs and if you are experiencing any
of these just check how much you have drunk.
Alcohol - many of us believe a glass of wine when we come home from work is the perfect antidote to a stressful day. Be aware that when we feel we can't relax without it then its time to take stock.
