Hello Friends, life is full of big and little things that can cause stress. Our current state of normal is probably one of them right now. I gathered together 10 things you can do right now to relieve stress. I use them and I think you will find they will work well for you too.
Meditation and/or Prayer– When you quiet your mind in thought, prayer, and/or meditation you calm the chaos that is causing stress. I invite you to join my Zen Spirit Facebook page HERE
Dance- dance, dance, dance, my friends, it will shake the stress loose in a big hurry. When I was young I always wanted to take ballet lessons. Did you take any dance classes?
Sit Outside or try Aroma Therapy (lavender or rose work well). You can combine the two if you have fragrant flowers in your garden, yard, etc.
Play with Worry Beads– worry beads relieve stress and they are fun to use. You can use them for prayer or meditation if you prefer. But, they are made to flip, twist and fiddle with.
Snuggle and pet your dog or cat– Exercise – you can combine the two!
Sing–Listen to Music– Here are two more you can do separately or you can combine them.
Clean and/or Organize – Please visit Julie from Filling the Jars she has some great tips!
These 10 Things You Can Do Right Now to Relieve Stress are my “go to’s” when stress rears its ugly head. There is one more I should have listed though, Laugh! Laughter can alleviate stress in a big hurry too.

I look forward to seeing you all back here on Thursday for the TFT blog hop link party!

I took dance when I was little and then again when I was in my ’20s. (I couldn’t believe how exhausting ballet was, even in my ’20s!) I love to snuggle my Sunny dog and, of course, read blogs to relieve stress! Also browsing Pinterest for ideas. Have a relaxing day, friend. xo
I love your stress relief ideas, and have tried most of them already. I have found great peace and relaxation in the garden lately!
Great tips Katherine! We can sure use them now – thanks!

Cleaning doesn’t sound fun but we have been organizing and working on projects.
What a great list and perfect timing as this is very stressful time for so many of us. For myself, I usually like to read or stream some of my favorite shows when I am stressed. It helps talk the edge off and just be able to relax, as well as zone out a bit. Hugs and thanks for sharing xoxo <3
