Decrease your stress levels

-
Make decisions easier and faster.
If you need to become a better decision-maker, you have to prioritize your values, trust your intuition and ask for advice when necessary. -
Stop criticizing yourself.
Identifying the negative self-talk, shifting the tone to positive thinking, and focusing on how you feel are the keys to loving yourself unconditionally. -
Start moving your body.
Design a workout regimen by planning your workouts, trying new exercises, and sticking to the activities you enjoy. Move your body every time you feel stressed, overwhelmed, and need to detach. -
Take a time-out when you experience emotionally upsetting situations.
Acknowledge your emotions and take a step back to calm down and avoid harmful behaviors. If the situation requires resolution, reengage and articulate yourself productively and respectfully. -
Ask for help when you need it.
Know your limits and be honest with yourself. Recognize when you need help and reach out to people you can trust. Ask for help willingly and sincerely without using pressure or guilt. -
Practice a morning de-stressing ritual.
Set the tone of your day by creating a personal experience you enjoy: burn a candle, take a cold shower, exercise, journal or have an energizing breakfast. -
Build close relationships.
Cherish meaningful relationships by investing time in your loved ones. Keep in touch constantly with your closest friends, make room for new people and remind yourself that quality is more important than quantity. -
Deal with past mistakes.
Facing your inner demons means learning from past mistakes and avoiding repeating them. Accept yourself knowing you are not perfect and embrace the possibility of negative outcomes, which are part of life and growth.
