Just as oxygen is an integral part of the air, stress is a part of life, comprising every facet of our lives from that first blare of the alarm clock to the child who won’t settle down in for sleep at the end of the night. Stress can be good as well as bad. A new job may be exciting but it’s also a stressful experience, as is getting married or even falling in love. Other stresses, such as work, children and money, seem to compound our lives until we feel like we’ll explode. But no matter the stress, it needs to be alleviated and put into perspective. Often, a stress treatment can be as simple as reading a good book, going for a walk, or enjoying a good conversation with a friend. Don’t let your stresses boil over. Learn to distill your stress so you can better enjoy the goodness of life.
Stress treatment begins with caring for the self, with finding personal time for enjoyment, reflection and even laughter. Often, physical activity is a great stress relief, whether it be a workout at a gym, a walk in the park or a pleasurable bike ride. Whatever the physical activity, it’s best that it be enjoyable. The more we enjoy the things that provide us physical exercise such as hiking, working in the garden or tennis, the more likely we will be willing to find time for them. Exercise shouldn’t have to be stressful. We’re trying to relieve stress, not compound our anxiety about how many miles we’ve run or how long we actually stayed on that exercise bike.
Remember, the more pleasurable your stress relief, the more likely you’ll follow through and allow it to enrich your life. One of the best ways to make exercise more enjoyable is sharing it with a friend. Plan a time to play a sport, go for a run, or play tennis with a friend. The more social the activity, the better. Even if it’s just an afternoon at the skating rink with your children, keep your exercise social. You’ll not only find it more rewarding, you’ll find yourself doing it more, relieving more stress and getting physically fit in the process.
Stress is life, but it doesn’t have to keep us from enjoying life. Find pleasurable activities to help release your stress. You’ll find more energy for doing the things you love, and more enjoyment in the process.
