5 Ways To Leave Work Stress Behind
When your workday is done, do you still carry much of the stress of your work with you into your off-work hours?
Whether you work at home or go to an office, it’s important for there to be a separation between your work and personal life. Without a clear gap, you will not be able to de-stress, and being able to leave that stress behind is crucially important to your quality of life.
Keeping your stress with you can also result in chronic stress, which contributes to many serious health issues.
If you’re finding that you continue to think about work events after working hours or you’re having difficulty with letting go of your stress, consider these tips to de-stress, so you can enjoy your time away from work.
Try these activities to melt away your workday stress:
Pause your work email and social media notifications and connect with people. Turn your tech notifications off for a couple of hours while you have dinner and enjoy the company of your family and friends.
You’ll feel less stressed and your relationships and social life will benefit. Eating your dinner in peace also helps digestion.
Exercise. An awesome way to limit stress in your life is to do a little exercise. Not only can exercise help to lower cortisol (stress hormone), but you’ll also be focused on the exercise and not what's going on at work. It doesn’t have to be a gym workout….do some jumping jacks, some burpees or a few yoga poses and get the blood pumping a bit. Remember…you can set your time for 3 minutes and get cranking and totally change your energy.
Vent when necessary. If you tend to keep things bottled up inside, consider making a healthy change in your life and discuss the stressful issues with a close friend, family member, support group, or counselor when you feel it's necessary. They can help you work through and maybe even resolve some of your issues. I highly recommend that you learn tapping and then regularly gripe while you tap to reduce your stress and anxiety.
Engage in an activity that you love. Whether it’s a hobby like tennis, golf, cooking, dancing, or playing with your kids, doing something that you enjoy takes your mind off work and melts away your stress. Taking time to do these things is never selfish, but a vitally important part of healthy self-care!
Best of al if you can find an activity where you move around, like dancing. You’ll get a double dose of relaxation from the exercise and the enjoyment.
Meditate. Meditation can reduce stress, strengthen your mental and physical health, and bring you the serenity of greater inner peace. All it takes is practice - daily is best! Start with focusing on your breath for 5 minutes or play a meditation app on your phone that calls to you.
Meditating for a few minutes when your workday is done will give you that much-needed gap between work and free time, so you can leave your work stress behind and fully enjoy your off-work hours.
Don’t feel continuously tied to your work any longer! Try these tips and get the freedom from stress that you deserve.
