Let's be honest. We are living in stressful times. Over the past few months, life as we have known it has changed drastically. Many of us cannot leave our homes. When we do go out, it is usually to the grocery store which in itself is an overwhelmingly new experience. We have to wear masks and keep our distance from others. We avoid touching as many surfaces as possible. Then we must come home, wash our hands and disinfect the things we purchased. As a result of these changes, many of us are feeling extremely stressed out. It is challenging to relax, even in the comforts of our own home. After all, how can you when the news is full of frightening new events taking place every day?
Now more than ever, it is important that we make relaxation a normal part of our daily routine. This can be challenging for many of us, especially if we are used to being productive and accomplishing a variety of things during the day. In a way, the hectic lifestyles that we were used to had become our norm! We were used to getting up, checking emails, rushing out the door and staying busy until we came home for the night. Things have changed! Being in our house with limited access to people and things is almost more stressful than the chaotic days we were used to. But here's the deal. Stress affects our mental, physical and emotional wellbeing in many ways…most of which aren't good. When we can't relax, we are jeopardizing our health and happiness which is something many of us cannot afford to do.
When we struggle to relax, we begin to experience a variety of symptoms including headaches, overwhelming fatigue and tension in the shoulders and neck. We have trouble falling asleep at night and as a result, we spend our days feeling burnt-out, tired and angry. Not being able to relax can also impact our mental well-being. It can make it challenging to focus on daily tasks and stay balanced with our moods. People experiencing high levels of stress can become aggressive and defensive, avoiding communication with people who could potentially help them calm down. If you are having trouble relaxing, here are some tips to help restore your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
