5 Natural Ways to De-Stress

By Heather

Stress is a normal side effect of our busy lives. Maybe it’s our body’s way of telling us to slow down and focus on the positive. I am guilty of worrying about things that are out of my control. Unfortunately, when I’m stressed I experience heart arrhythmia, palpitations and chest pain. Neither are fun, so I try to squash the stress with a few simple lifestyle changes.

1. Switch to decaf
I know some of you are cringing at the thought, but I really do notice a difference from when I cut back on the caffeine. Sometimes I’ll feel a little daring and have a regular cup, and almost immediately I don’t feel well. Decaf is not that bad once you’re used to it.

2. Get a good night’s sleep
When your body is well rested, you won’t need caffeine to function. Our bodies need uninteruppted sleep.

3. Work it out
The ultimate stress reliever, and all around good-for-you. There is truly nothing like a great workout to relieve stress thanks to those endorphins.

4. Eat a healthy diet
They say an apple will wake you up more than a cup of coffee. Reach for fresh fruits and vegetables, protein, and whole grains. Limit processed foods and sugar.

5. Use a homeopathic remedy
Many doctors quickly prescribe medication to help, but I have never been to keen on taking pills unless it’s absolutely necessary. I’m also hesitant to take certain narcotics that are addictive in nature. When you need a little help, Rescue Pastilles are a great natural way to relieve the stress. They are all natural, non-addictive and they don’t come with any side effects like sleepiness.

RESCUE stress relief products including RESCUE Pastilles, RESCUE Sleep Liquid Melts, RESCUE Pearls and more are available now in the US at CVS, Walgreens, Whole Foods, Sprouts and wherever you find natural products!

    These are very simple, yet powerful way to de-stress yourself as natural methods can do wonders in no time. I always prefer a sound sleep at night when I know I a too much stressed out. And I agree Homeopathic remedy is the best solution as well.

    hmmm…Last night was the first night in a long while that I had trouble sleeping – did manage 8 hrs by sleeping longer – but, my mind and body just didn’t want to relax because I had been going strong all day without a break – so I would love to check out the RESCUE Sleep Liquid Melts! Thank you :)

    I manage my stress by making sure I take some time for me every day! Even if it’s only for 5 minutes it really helps.

    Great tips! I find working out a great way to release stress. I also limit caffeine and try to go to bed early.

    So many factors that contribute to whether you get a good night sleep or not. I don’t usually have issues with stress or sleep but I will keep this product in mind in case I do.

    Sleeping enough is definitely a stress reliever. A healthy diet also helps me feel better!

    Not sure if I could give up the caffeine! I love your suggestions, and I am definitely going to check out Rescue Remedy.

    I have to admit to being a big fan of Rescue Remedy it got me through my driving test and I always keep some in my handbag. x

    A good night’s sleep and a work out make a huge difference. I’m working on creating a balanced diet which should help too.
