Hey guys,
So I know this woman who is 82 and (you have to believe me on this one) does not look a day over 60... she looks 20 YEARS younger than her age!
The other day I saw her in a party and a group of us where talking and I asked her how she has maintained herself so well for age. Her skin, her figure (looks like a very well kept 30 years old!), her energy and stamina.
Her answer:
I DON'T DO STRESS
So now my question is, how do you not do stress? I feel like I'm drowning is stress on daily basis. Just to mention a few of the things that cause me stress:
- a 3 years old daughter (any parent will know what I mean)
- own business
- expanding the business to new location
- not having time to get to the gym and train
- employees off sick
- high season for our business with at least 30 new email enquiries that I need to go through a day
- not having time to spend any quality time with husband
- no time to clean the flat and my cleaner is on holiday.
Etc etc
So now I'm super intrigued to know how you can go around and not do stress? Like HOW?
Dying to know your thoughts and any tried and tested methods that you have in order not to stress!
I surround myself with people i know will bring up my spirits, and are okay with being my sounding board. Or! I make sure to give myself at least 20 minutes a day to either stretch, go for a jog or hit an at home workout, or (my fav) take a bath with Epsom Salt to relive any tension I have going. Stress is a silent killer, you gotta get that shit handled, and trust me, i'm still working on it too. Hahha
Thank you @miranda.odell - great suggestions. I think you're right. I need a few minutes each day for myself to just recharge. That's what I have been lacking recently and since I wrote this post, it made me realise how stressed I have been and how I have just not allowed any alone time for myself.
