The Stressful Challenge Of Finding Stress Relief Alternatives
Am I the only women who finds the idea of stress relief stressful? Just how am I supposed to find time in my busy schedule to relax? I know that sounds terrible, but I also happen to know I’m far from being alone. We live in an increasingly hectic and unremitting world of constant motion. But it isn’t good for our health, which is why I’ve been taking a little time out to examine the various stress relief options for women.
I know that my days have been full and busy, but I never really took the time to appreciate the diverse range of methods available to help unwind and let the cares of the day fall like blossom in a gentle breeze. My blossom just seems to have just taken a shortcut straight to the compost heap lately. But there are actually several highly recommended stress relief therapies.
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.
Having untied myself from the yoga class my next visit into stress relief alternatives was meditation. I thought this would be easy, but I spent most of my time trying to pick between the many ways in which meditation can be undertaken. I chose a meditation CD which I played whilst lying in the dark with my eyes closed. Very relaxing, although I have no recollection of the second half of the disk!
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.
