Stay Stress Free

TGIF!

I don't know about you, but this week has been a stressful one for me.  Although I was busy,  I tried very hard to make it to the gym everyday and eat healthy.  Stress eating is a big issue for some people and it is important to not let it get that far.  Working out can actually help increase stress and help you stay calm.  It is also a good way to take a break from work.  Go to the gym for 30 minutes to an hour.  Do  little walking/running to help get your mind off of work and think about other stuff.  Some people may not have time for the gym with all the work stye have going on, but then it is important to keep eating healthy so you do not let yourself go too much.  Stress eating can be hard to stay away from, but it as easy way to get off track and be unhealthy.  Take an alternate route: eat an apple, have some whole grain tortilla chips, etc.  And keep drinking your water!  It is a busy time for all but make sure you are still keeping your body and mind healthy, you will feel much better about yourself on a regular basis!  It is also important you are getting your sleep.  This is more important to healthy living than people think!  

Do A Little Yoga!

I am sure many of you have heard of 'yoga' and if not then you are missing out.  Yoga has become a very popular exercise.  It is personally one of my favorite.  Yoga is a great way to work your mind, body, and soul.  It is a great way to strengthen your muscles and also work on your flexibility.  It is also used to help people stay calm and work on being at peace with themselves.  Yoga can either be an intense workout, or a calm exercise.  No matter what you use yoga for, it is overall very good for your body and your mind!
