NATIONAL STRESS AWARENESS DAY: 10 TIPS TO REDUCE STRESS

At VOESH, our daily mission is to help people relax and feel good with everyday spa products designed with your well-being in mind.

In Honor of National Stress Awareness Day, here are 10 simple ways to alleviate stress.

1. PAMPER YOURSELF

Give yourself a mani or pedi with our Pedi in a Box and Mani in a Box kits for the ultimate relaxation.

2. TAKE A BREAK

Work can take a toll on us every day, but it is important to move around and stretch, fuel your body with nutritious foods, and give your brain or body a break.

3. FIND AN OUTLET

No, not an electrical outlet. Whether you like to paint or go for a jog, engaging in your favorites activities can help reduce stress. Talking to friends or family members can also help to manage stress levels and improve your mood.

4. DON’T OVERDO IT

Try not to take on too many responsibilities at once. Allow enough time in your schedule to relax and unwind. Learn to say “no” more often.

5. EXERCISE

Take a yoga class or go for a walk outside. Take in pretty views around you and forget about adulting for a few moments.

6. JUST BREATHE

Certain deep breathing techniques can calm your mind and body at the same time. Inhale the good, exhale the bad.

7. LAUGH

Let the good times roll. Your body takes in more oxygen when you laugh and reduces stress hormones and physical tension. No joke!

8. LIGHT A CANDLE

Burning a candle can soothe the senses, especially a calming scent like lavender.

9. GET ENOUGH SLEEP

After a long day, our mind and body both need sleep to recuperate. Catch those Zz’s.

10. CRANK THE TUNES

Jam out in your living room. Listening to your favorite songs can have a relaxing or uplifting effect on you.

Remember, learning to cope with stress in healthy ways can lead to a happier, more positive you. Don’t forget to take care of yourself and your needs before anything else.
