I know I'm not the only woman who's finding stress relief quite a task to undertake! Life has been so incredibly hectic that finding time to relax is often a case of checking the diary and booking an appointment with my bed three weeks on Thursday. Just lately I've become aware of the need to take more care of my welfare, and I've been looking into stress relief alternatives for women.
One of the things that has most surprised me is just how many ways there are to relax, calm down and take a moment to shake off the troubles of the day. Perhaps it's because my days are usually so full and so hectic that I've never stopped long enough to realise, but there are several excellent stress relief alternatives.
Perhaps I have a habit of starting at the end of lists rather than the beginning, but my list started with yoga. My first assumption was that yoga is all about contorting your body in weird ways without falling over, but in truth it's very easy to get started with yoga, and can be very relaxing too. The benefits of yoga extend to both the physical body and the mental well-being.
Having untied myself from the yoga class my next visit into stress relief alternatives was meditation. I thought this would be easy, but I spent most of my time trying to pick between the many ways in which meditation can be undertaken. I chose a meditation CD which I played whilst lying in the dark with my eyes closed. Very relaxing, although I have no recollection of the second half of the disk!
A lot of women swear by physical exercise. Personally I just tend to swear at physical exercise. But my understanding is that those women who regularly undertake some form of exercise such as running, cycling or step aerobics find that it helps them unwind. It may not be relaxing, but stress relief isn't necessarily the same as being relaxed.
Then of course there's my personal favourite - the old faithful. Women's toys now come in such a wide range, with every possible taste and fantasy catered for! Having browsed through a few online stores and been alternately confused, shocked and titillated I am now the proud owner of a bunny rabbit that does considerably more than nibble my carrots. Stress relief that fits in your handbag - now that's relaxing!
Relaxing music came next (after me!) and I spent some time gathering all of the relaxing music tracks I could find, and downloading them all onto my iPod. As portable as my woman's toy but rather more decent in public I just slip the headphones on and drift into a catatonic state of vacancy. It's certainly relaxing, although I find having my eyes shut and the mobile switched off helps.
Finally, the one method of stress relief I seem to find hardest of all - finding the time for plenty of rest. Just recently I have had almost no time for rest because I've been too busy researching the various stress relief alternatives, but along with eating healthily, getting plenty of sleep and organising 'me' time, there are certainly several alternatives available - it's just finding the time to try them out.
