In the hustle and bustle of today’s society, stress is increasingly present and is creating implications for health and wellbeing worldwide. Success Magazine has provided a few tips on how to effectively manage stress and things to avoid in order to limit not only the amount of stress in our lives but how we react to it

Anxiety and Stress are totally normal and is actually what makes life interesting and is a key motivator. It is however how we respond to stress that can directly impact our health, either positively or negatively.

1. List-making is your best friend
Keep a notebook next to your bed in order to take down all the important dates, deadlines and to do items in your head when you think of them. This will ensure that you don’t miss or jumble up all the different dates in your head but also clear your head and shake off the feeling that you’re forgetting something.

2. Decrease screen time
In this age of technology, screen time is becoming more and more of an issue. If you stare at bright screens an hour or two before you go to bed, your brain becomes stimulated and inhibits the production of melatonin which affects your sleep.

3. Target your stress-eating tendencies now
Often when your stressed your brain really craves action such as reaching for the packet of chips in and repetitively munching on them, one by one. Research shows that repeated addictive behaviour such as turning to food when experiencing stress actually changes your brain circuitry to interpret food as the response to stress. Next time when you do want to reach for that packet of chips, instead get up and go for a walk or do a short activity like push ups, research has shown that even a short walk, 10-mins is enough to reduce cravings for snacks.

Do you wake up in the morning after sleeping for the recommended 8 hours still feeling tired? Whilst it’s important to follow the recommended duration of sleeping, the quality of your sleep has a big impact on how you feel when you wake up!

Here are some tips to get a better night’s sleep!

1. Avoid consuming caffeine in the afternoon or at night time

2. Limit blue light exposure in the night time. Blue light is emitted from your phone screen, tablet, laptop/computer and TV. Keeping these outside of your sleeping space will help

3. Don’t exercise before sleeping. Whilst exercise has been proved to improve one’s quality of sleep, exercising provides the body with stimulation and therefore, if done right before sleeping, will increase the time it takes to fall asleep.

4. Try to regulate your sleeping habits by going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day

5. Clear your mind with some deep breathing and/or meditation

6. Wind down for the night – use essential oils, put on a face mask, listen to some soft and calm relaxing music, read a book, have a warm and relaxing bath
