You may feel restless and wound up with a lot of nervous energy today. You could feel overwhelmed with correspondence and appointments or be struggling to complete a large workload. A great way to release your stress is through physical activity. You might consider taking short breaks, a brisk walk outside, or engaging in more lengthy activities during your lunch hour. You could also try doing brief exercises indoors, such as gentle stretches or calisthenics. Once you've burned off some tension, you may want to take a few moments to foster a peaceful state of mind. This will allow you to deal with stress more efficiently during the rest of your day.

Releasing our stress in healthy ways makes us feel strong and centered, regardless of our outside circumstances. Stress only becomes overwhelming when we allow it to build up in our bodies and minds. If we can learn to release our stress in measured doses through the course of our day, we feel better able to handle new stressors as they come our way. When we are calm and relaxed, we feel empowered and confident that we can handle anything. This belief can help us stay grounded and focused, which will have a positive effect on all of our activities. Make an effort to release your stress frequently today, and you will develop the strength, stamina, and stability to handle nearly any challenge.
