How to Reduce Stress

So for weight loss as well as overall health, here are 50 ways to reduce stress.

1.  Sleep removes cortisol from our system. You need about 8 hours of quality sleep every night.
2. Practise Yoga. Just one moment where you focus on living right NOW rather than what will come tomorrow or fretting about yesterday.
3. Add healthful foods that provide energy. You will stop craving junk.
4. Prepare meals ahead of time in large portions, refrigerate and freeze so you can grab and go. 
   
5. Have dinner with a good friend.
6. Write in a journal.
7. Watch a funny movie or tv show.
8. Listen to good music-the more mellow and calming, the better.
   
9. Play a board game with your kids or partner.
10. Stay active during the work day.
11. Make Love!
12. Learn  and practise progressive muscle relaxation by tensing and releasing every muscle from your head to your toes.
13. Get some fresh air – go walk the dog.
14. Practice deep breathing by taking a deep breath in through your nose and blowing out in a controlled manner, like you’re making a candle flame flicker.
15. Make sure you eat when you’re hungry.
16. Create a Vision Board with all your dreams on it!
17. Practice visualisation or self-hypnosis.
18. Move some heavy weights – feel your tired muscles regularly.
19. Do a commitment analysis and find what you can let go.
20. Laugh-go to a comedy club or spend the day with someone who makes you laugh.
