"Foolproof Tips Against Stress"

Personal and professional responsibilities are some of the causes that can make your stress levels reach their peak at times.

Here are some actions that could become daily habits to help reduce stress:

  1. Breathe and Count to 10: Did you know that deep breathing reduces cortisol levels in the body? Whenever you feel rushed or even anxious, stop and take a deep breath.
  2. Manage Your Time: Try to balance work, family, leisure, and rest while always setting your priorities and goals.
  3. Share: Learn not to keep everything to yourself. Suppressed tensions and emotions can cause physical and psychological damage.
  4. Exercise: There are countless physical (and mental) exercises that can help you reduce stress. Start your day with a walk to work, and you’ll notice a shift in your mood. In fact, a positive mindset is half the battle against stress.
  5. Calming Aromas: Lavender is well-known for its distinct scent and its calming effects. Light a scented candle at the end of the day—feel lighter, freer, and calmer.
  6. Time is Yours: Don’t let stress control you. Remember, you are not a machine—pause whenever necessary. We all need time and silence to let the mind flow. Have you incorporated mindfulness into your daily routine yet?
  7. The Touch of Hands: Who doesn’t love a long, relaxing massage? Massages have the power to relax muscles, and studies show that a 40-minute session can reduce stress levels and boost self-esteem. Visit our spas and let our therapists take care of you.
  8. Dream with the Clouds: A good night’s sleep can work wonders! Half an hour before bed, turn off your phone and avoid checking emails. Establish a routine, and you’ll wake up feeling like a new person—much calmer, for sure...
