Life can get busy and stressful, so it’s important to have a few sure-fire ways to help you relax.
*
Feel good this Friday by unwinding and letting go of the week’s stresses.
Sun Bingo has some suggestions of how you can do that.
Ways to de-stress
Everyone de-stresses in their own way, what works for one person may not work for another.
However, Sun Bingo has some suggestions that you might like to try. Let’s see if they work for you!
- Journaling
Dedicate some time to writing down what’s happened and why you’re stressed.
It can be a good way to clear your mind and express your emotions.
You could also use it to constructively plan a solution if there’s a particular reason why you’re feeling stressed.
At the end, write down three things that have gone well that day or three things that make you happy.
- Exercise
Some people find a demanding workout a great way to sweat out your stress.
Get your heart pumping and the endorphins flowing.
However, it doesn’t have to be that intense.
Some gentle stretching, meditative yoga or a walk can also do the trick.
Spending time in a green space has been linked to reducing feelings of stress and anger.

- Music
Music is very emotive, and the right tracks may just help with stress levels.
You can turn it up loud and dance. You can listen to happy, feel-good tracks that make you smile.
Perhaps, you’re in the mood for some smooth, mellow numbers that bring a sense of calm.
- To-do list
When it feels like there are 10 jobs that need doing, and each time you start one job, another crops up, stop and make a list.
Write down each job then number them in order of importance.
It can help to focus your thoughts.
Sometimes, writing it out can also help you to realise that less needs doing than first thought. This is a practical way to manage stress.

- Talking
Talking through your stresses is a good way to clear your head.
Sometimes it’s about having a space to vocalise your feelings. It can also be a way to get advice from someone you trust.
Letting your confidant know beforehand whether you are after advice or just a chance to talk things through can help your listener to provide appropriate support.
- Self-care
Obvious but vital – you’ve got to look after yourself!
Make sure to eat well, sleep well and do things that help you to relax.
That might be having a bath, watching a film, baking or reading.
Whatever your go-to unwinding method looks like, make sure to carve out time for it when you’re stressed.
Caring for yourself can get forgotten when life gets busy. However, it’s important for your mental wellbeing.
