NATURAL TIPS TO RELIEVE TENSION -- We live in a fast paced, over-stressed world. These 5 Natural Tips to Relieve Tension are easy, don't cost a lot of money and can be done at home.

After an exhausting year in 2014, I found myself looking for a better way – a better way to take care of myself, a better way to work less, a better way to eat healthier. During that time, I discovered that the headaches I was having on a daily basis were because of neck issues. In January (2015) I found a fantastic Chiropractor that not only was able to take care of the neck issues, but also get me back on track to feeling better and healthier.

In February, Doug and I did a detox cleanse, which by the way was both the most difficult thing I have done in a long time and the best thing I have done in a long time. I continued seeing the Chiropractor and I began seeing an acupuncture doctor. Between the three things – Chiropractor, Acupuncture and the detox, I began to feel better. A lot better.

During that time, I also learned a lot about natural ways to relieve tension and stress. Regardless of the amount of stress you have, these tips can help everyone.

Tip 1 – Apply Heat

Heat therapy is a fast and natural way to soothe pain. Heat has been found as an effective way of helping to alleviate muscle pain and soreness, and for that same reason, Sunbeam® pain relief products use heat as a solution to assist with pain and discomfort, helping increase blood flow to sore areas for muscle relaxation and faster healing.

For me, using the Renue® Tension Relief Heating Wrap on my neck and shoulders has been great. After my visit to see my Chiropractor, I always spend some time to apply heat, the adjustments help me a great deal, but only after several hours of being a bit sore and achy.

Tip 2 – Listen to Calm Music

Throughout the day – during my morning routine, while I’m working, while I’m relaxing and often before bed – I listen to meditation music. My favorite is Calm Meditation Music on Spotify.

Tip 3 – Take a Walk in Nature

Part of my morning routine consists of a walk in the neighborhood, it’s the time that I look forward to each day. I don’t always get the chance to see a gorgeous waterfall like this one that is near my son’s home, however I have noticed that slowly I am noticing the clouds, trees and landscape around me more.

Adult coloring is all the rage now. Every where you look, you can find fun coloring books that are specifically made for adults. Coloring is something that I love to do, and it definitely relieves tension and stress for me.

Tip 5 – Read a Book

When was the last time you read? Years ago I never took time to read, to simply sit and read a book that I enjoyed. Our lives are filled with long to-do lists, running kids around, keeping the house clean, cooking dinner – the list goes on and on – it’s important to just relax, even if it’s only for a little bit each day.
