Live Healthy!

I know it has been a while...but living in New York City makes time fly by. I am always looking for ways to reduce my every day stress level. My mind is constantly running even when I am trying to fall asleep. Living in a busy city like New York, it is very important for me to make time for myself and leave the city behind me. Here are some helpful hints to reduce stress in your everyday work life...

" Avoiding A Work Hangover"

All work and no play....not a healthy lifestyle. This can make your head throb when the weekend rolls around. When you're under pressure, your body pumps out more stress hormones, like adrenaline and cortisol. By the time people figure out their body needs to relax, they plummet back to their normal levels, and this can cause a headache. To reduce these stress related headaches, take at least 20 minutes a day for yourself.

Relaxation Tips:

Soak in the tub

Hit the gym or go for a run outside

Kick back and read a book

Taking your dog for a walk

I promise to write again soon, but for now, keep these tips in mind!
