Yes, we’re talking about stress reduction. Our modern world is full of the stuff with all our meetings, demands on our time, traffic, social media anxiety, relationship demands, and more meetings. Find your well-being with these easy tips.

Daily Laughter

Laugh more often. Cracking up boosts immunity, cell health, and reduces stress.

Pre-Manage Stress

Yes, this is something you can do. Stress releases cortisol, which is helpful in short bursts, but damages telomeres long-term, ages you faster, and increases fat stores. Change your attitude about stress by looking at it as helpful, avoid extremely stressful situations, remove sources of chronic stress, and plan ahead. {9kucur9p}

Be Mindful

Anchor yourself to the present, which reduces fear, anxiety, and stress over possible future or past mistakes. Meditation, affirmations, gratitude journals, mindful breathing, and many other such practices will help you beat back the stress and focus on the goodness in your life.

Get Natural

Spend time outdoors in nature. Get out! Walking in nature or spending time surrounded by plants and natural noises helps reduce stress. It’s an easy one to do, too.

Eat

Healthy complex carbohydrates from whole grains and magnesium-rich foods, like cacao, nuts, and seeds, all help the body make the hormones and neurotransmitters that calm, balance, and bring happiness and joy into our lives. Many other plant-based foods have tryptophan, an amino acid that converts to serotonin in the body, the feel-good neurotransmitter. Add more adaptogens too, like maca, ashwagandha, eleuthero, and holy basil, to reduce stress. Other foods to look for are ones rich in folate (B9), polyphenols, probiotics, and potassium.
