15 Tips to De Stress
Aerobic Exercise – Break a sweat by taking a brisk walk daily and stretching.
Healthy diet – Eat fewer simple carbohydrates, processed sugar, coffee, alcohol. Enjoy more fresh fruits and veggies. Include complex carbohydrates like beans and legumes, and drink plenty of fresh water and herbal tea.
Grateful meditation – First thing in the morning and last thing before bed think of at least 3 things you are grateful for. It is hard to be stressed and fearful when you are focusing on what you are grateful for in your life.
Personal development – Read for pleasure or listen to inspiring CD’s like Tony Robin, Robin Sharma, Stephen Covey when driving in traffic or having difficulty sleeping.
Learn to say NO – set healthy boundaries.
Do more of what you enjoy.
Schedule it – MAKE time for rest and maintenance of your body, mind and spirit.
Take a holiday.
Release those feel good endorphins with acupuncture, Qi Gong, massage or yoga.
Use guided imagery to calm your mind.
Get support from a third party – try counseling.
Take up journaling.
Replace doubts and negative thoughts with positive ones – What if?
Spend more time in nature. Try gardening or hiking.
Try Emotional Freedom Technique – EFT.

practicing what we preach...
love the tips,...definitely recommend a lot of them to my clients but a quick list is nice, thanx Lorne.
Although, I only have one problem with this list,...I know very few practitioners (including myself) who utilize these techniques regularly and set healthy boundaries for themselves.
What do you suggest to encourage practitioners to take greater care of themselves?
Webdoktor `a patient is healed when the body is set right or the story is heard to the end`
Healer heal thy self
Do not treat yourself.
Get treatment (care and nurturing) from someone else and objective third party eye to help you with your health.
