Five Simple Ways to Recover from Stress
by Alan Joel

We live in a stressed out society! According to the 2000 annual "Attitudes In The American Workplace VI" Gallup Poll, 80% of workers feel stress on the job, nearly half say they need help in learning how to manage stress. Stress has become one the largest problems in our society, and regularly costs US industries more than $300 billion per year. The good news is that you don't have to be stressed out, even if everyone else is. Here are five simple ways to recover from stress: MOVE YOUR BODY: Taking a brisk 5 minute walk outside can release endorphins (those make you feel happy), increase circulation to the brain so you can think more clearly, and reduce the adrenalin and cortisol produced by stress (adrenalin and cortisol cause your body to store lots of fat). VENT FOR FIVE: If you're really stressed and you need to vent your frustration or anger, set aside five minutes and write everything down. Set a timer for five minutes and go. Write down everything you're angry, sad, frustrated, grieving, or generally stressed about. This is your five minutes to cut loose. When the timer goes off, you'll feel better and be able to think more clearly. FEED YOUR BRAIN AND BODY: When you're under stress, your brain and body need more nutrients to function. Taking in whole food nutrients can actually get rid of stress. Drink Simplexity (formerly Cell Tech)'s Reality liquid whole food supplement for a quick stress reliever and brain boost. Order online. BREATHE: When you're under stress, you stop breathing deeply and regularly. Studies show that when you take conscious control of your breathing, your level of stress decreases. If you're breathing consciously, you won't be stressed. Take three minutes and just breathe. You'll be glad you did! TAKE ACTION: If you're stressed because you've been procrastinating about something, get moving and take some action. Procrastination is one of the biggest sources of stress-and it's also one of the easiest to take care of. Taking action and completing tasks can radically reduce stress!
