There is nothing better for fighting stress than getting out in the sun, breathing in fresh air and listening to the sounds of nature.
Do your cardio outside if possible. Make a conscious effort to leave those ear buds at home. If you live in a rural area, near a park or by the water take a run or a walk and absorb the sounds nature provides. Soak up energy from the trees, the water, and the sky and release all negativity.
Let your mind clear and your shoulders relax as you start out. Be aware of the area of your own body which is holding your stress and begin to let go. For most of us, it’s the neck and shoulder area, for others it might be the lower back. Be conscious of what your body is telling you!
Keep your cell with you in case of an emergency, but on vibrate. Letting go for 15-30 minutes is a healthy way to combat stress and as we all know, stress is a leading contributor to death and disease in this country.
