Check-in Day 1: Destress Every Day

You have been trying out different methods to destress, but you found that it is hard to make them stick.

If this is your case, this plan will definitely help make relaxation your daily routine.

Progress Check-in

Let’s have a quick check-in to see if you’re on the right track of reducing stress!

• When you feel stressed, you use relaxation techniques or meditate for 5 minutes.
• You do something enjoyable or go for a walk every day.
• You watch out your caffeine, alcohol and sugar intake.

If your answer is yes to all, awesome! You’re in great progress in making relaxation a habit. (Don’t miss out tomorrow’s extra tip!)

If your answer is no to any one of them, do these today:

Find your relaxation place that you can take a 5-minute break!

You only need 5 minutes to alleviate the stress level. Take a time-out and completely switch off from the hustle and bustle.

You can take deep breaths on your way to the pantry, or meditate for 5 minutes during the lunch break.

Watch something that can make you laugh!

Laughter is the best medicine when combating stress. Watch a funny video when you stress out.

If you have more time, take a stress-free stroll through the park. Even 10-15 minute of fresh air can help you brain unwind.

Replace your coffee, alcoholic drinks and soft drinks with herbal tea.

Switch to green tea instead. It is rich in antioxidants and moderate amount of caffeine.
