The following relaxation tips can help you manage stress more effectively:
Schedule Self-Care
Self-care is simply taking care of yourself but it is a very important facet of stress management because it allows you to give to yourself some of the things that you may not be receiving from your stressful situation like tender love and care.
Therefore, spend a few minutes every day engaging in activities that nourish your mind, body, and spirit. For example, you can accomplish these three goals each day by reading a chapter from your favorite book, bathing with your favorite bath gel and singing your favorite Christian praise songs.
For optimum results prepare a self-care basket by filling a bag with items that feed you holistically. These can include your favorite books, magazines, chocolate, biscuits, and an MP3 player loaded with your best "banish the blues' songs.
