The Morning Thing celebrates Stress Awareness Month. How are you relieving stress today?

April is Stress Awareness Month. This is a time for us to evaluate the stress in our lives and find ways to relieve the negative impact it can have on our life.

The Cleveland Clinic has 20 different ways to relieve stress. They report that lengthy exposure to stress may lead to mental health difficulties like anxiety and depression or increased physical health problems such as cardiovascular disease and irritable bowel syndrome.

Click HERE to see the complete list of 20 ways you can fight stress!

Here are some of our favorites:

  • Spend time in nature
  • Focus on sleep
  • Assert yourself – it’s OK to say NO
  • Reduce triggers of stress
  • Set realistic goals and expectations – It’s also OK, and healthy, to realize that you can’t be 100% successful at everything all at once.
  • Take a break from your phone
  • Cuddle with a pet
  • Get your laugh on
  • Listen to music! Listen to 90.9FM or online at http://www.wnzr.fm or download the WNZR app!
