Coach Sharon’s Stress Busters - #1 - #20

Awhile ago, I developed a list of my top 100 stress busters.  Here are the first 20 stress busters on my list.

1. Acknowledge your limitations and ask for help when needed.

2. Learn how to say “no.”  Don’t take on more than you can handle.

3. Take deep breaths when faced with a stressful situation.  Breathe in love, health, and happiness.

4. Smile even when you don’t feel like it.  Smiles are uplifting.  It takes more muscles to frown than smile.

5. Will the situation you’re stressed about be important in a year or five years?  If not, try not to sweat the small stuff.

6. Spend time with people you love, whether it is with family members or friends.

7. Be around babies; their smiles and giggles can brighten your day in an instant.

8.  Watch children interact and play.  Their innocence is refreshing.

9. Talk to and play with your own children more often.

10. Take a vacation to a place you’ve always wanted to visit.

11. Take a day trip to get away from your every day routine.

12. Treat yourself to a nice dinner at your favorite restaurant.

13. Visit a new restaurant that you’ve wanted to try for weeks/months.

14. Have a gourmet meal catered to your home one evening.

15. Buy an ice cream or treat yourself to your favorite desert.

16. Make a batch of your favorite cookies.

17. Have a cup of your favorite coffee or tea.

18. Go get a manicure and/or pedicure.

19. Get a facial.

20. Schedule a partial or full body massage, or a “relaxation techniques” session.

The next 80 stress busters will appear in subsequent blog posts.
