Stress wreaks havoc on our physical, emotional and spiritual well being. It is safe to say that we all know that we should try to manage our stress levels, but we may not always know how. Besides medication, there are simple, everyday techniques we can use to reduce or even eliminate stress. If done effectively we'll probably never need the medication. This doesn't necessarily mean sitting in a lotus position and chanting, although if that works for you, you should go for it.
Some people unwind and relax while participating in sports.
When we think of relaxing sports we often think of golf or swimming. But some people find a good game of basketball helps them relax. Usually what helps a person unwind is something that takes them away from the ordinary of their everyday routine. If you sit behind a desk you may look forward to physical activity. If you pave roads all day you might just want to light some candles and soak in a tub.
