Stress is known to cause an emotional imbalance in someone who would usually be a level-headed person. Dealing all the time with uptight and offensive people, handling unwanted responsibilities, the anxiety and road rage experienced while driving are just a few of the situations that wear us down.
So here you have five tips to help you take care of yourself:
- Relax. When you relax, you are improving the mind and helping your body to stay in shape, with a healthy inner balance. You can practice activities such as yoga, tai-chi, meditation, listening to music, reading books, or whatever you like the most.
- Watch your spiritual life. Try to dedicate time in your daily life to think about the things that give you peace, beauty, and serenity in life. Hiking through beautiful landscapes, preparing cooperative communal service, or meditating in your room, are some activities you can do to connect with your spiritual path.
- Exercise. We have to move the joints, stretch the muscles, and align the spine. Yoga favors the bones and joints, the functioning of the internal organs, the health of the body in general. We must exercise every day.
- Good nutrition. Eating a proper diet is very important for physical and mental well-being. In that sense, although anyone can practice yoga regardless of their eating, we recommend the vegan diet. We prefer the food that comes from the earth for us to be in greater harmony with the world. He who wants to control his mind must control his food intake.
- Take a retreat. The emotional benefits of a yoga retreat are huge because they offer a break from all this tension and distress! Just imagine the feeling of peace and being reconnected to the earth and all things natural, while harmonizing your mind, body, and emotions through yoga asana and breathing. Go on a retreat at least once a year.
You need to understand that taking care of yourself should be your number ONE priority because, without spirituality, a healthy and powerful mind, and body, it is impossible to be happy and complete.
