7 Helpful Stress Reducer Tips

1. Remember you are not alone. Talk to friends and family. "Three keys to abundant living: caring about others, daring for others, and sharing with others."(Ward).

2. Breathe! Deeper! Sometimes our minds are thinking of so many things at once we have no idea what is "now." Be in the moment and enjoy it. "Life has a habit of living you if you don't live it." (Larkin).

3. Don't be all work and no play. When we are busy, we forget to take care of ourselves and when we are not busy, enough we work too hard to get busy again!

4. Exercise! Run, walk, swim or stroll! Choose the right cardio work out for your body and keep that blood circulating!

5. Read! Choose meaningful input! Some like fiction. Some like facts. Some like light inspirational stories. What you read can make a difference in your attitude.

6. Rest! Take time (that should be "make" time) for relaxation and fun.

7. Be thankful for the health you have and take care of it! Eat healthier! It will make difference in how you feel.
