Stress Relief Alternatives For The Hectic Woman
I know I'm not the only woman who's finding stress relief quite a task to undertake! Life has been so incredibly hectic that finding time to relax is often a case of checking the diary and booking an appointment with my bed three weeks on Thursday. Just lately I've become aware of the need to take more care of my welfare, and I've been looking into stress relief alternatives for women.
Perhaps I am not alone, but I must confess that my life has been so frantic that I've never really paused to think about the number of ways in which I could relax. Downing two or three glasses of wine every evening is clearly doing me no good at all, which is why I have been delighted to discover the wide range of stress relief options that are easily available.
For me the first thing I tried was yoga, since I'd been walking past a poster advertising yoga classes for ages. Like many people I thought yoga was just about tying your legs in knots while trying to stand on your head, but it was actually very straightforward to get started, and as well as offering a way to relax mentally there are many physical health benefits to yoga too.
The next method of stress relief on my list was meditation, a word which sounds simple, but I couldn't believe the range of options available. Honestly, I could have spent all my meditation time just choosing what form of meditation to try. In the end I bought a meditation CD which was lovely and relaxing, although I found myself constantly interrupted by annoying itches or sudden thoughts of deadlines and dinners.
Although not personally undertaken to any very serious degree the next item on my list of stress relief alternatives was physical exercise. My idea of physical exercise is racing to the back of the shop to be first to the sale rail, but I have several friends who assure me that regular physical exercise can be one of the best stress relief therapies available. I'll have to take their word on that, the pizza's just arrived.
The next item on my list certainly focussed on the relief half of stress relief. Women's toys are now so varied and ingenious that they seem to be able to cater for bits of me even I didn't know existed. I had a browse through an online store, my responses varying from disbelief to confusion to sheer rampant fascination. I spent more time exploring this method of stress relief than physical exercise, although as it did make me a little out of breath, it must have burnt up at least a few calories.
Relaxing music came next (after me!) and I spent some time gathering all of the relaxing music tracks I could find, and downloading them all onto my iPod. As portable as my woman's toy but rather more decent in public I just slip the headphones on and drift into a catatonic state of vacancy. It's certainly relaxing, although I find having my eyes shut and the mobile switched off helps.
Finally, the one method of stress relief I seem to find hardest of all - finding the time for plenty of rest. Just recently I have had almost no time for rest because I've been too busy researching the various stress relief alternatives, but along with eating healthily, getting plenty of sleep and organising 'me' time, there are certainly several alternatives available - it's just finding the time to try them out.
