5 Easy Ways to Instantly Turn a Stressful Day Around
I’m sure we all had the best intentions to start 2020 on the right foot. However, dealing with the post-bushfires trauma, climate change-induced anxiety and the reality of heading back to work, it’s no surprise that stress levels may already be starting to creep up.
Therefore, before things get too out-of-hand, here are my top five ways to turn around a stressful day.
#1. Sweat
This is why exercise is my number one initial recommendation. By exerting the body, this releases endorphins that can actually melt tension away that stress can build up in the body.
#2. Swim
The second is the feeling of weightlessness when you’re in the water. This feeling can have a direct placebo effect on the brain. A release of tension and bring the body back into a calmer, more relaxed state.
#3. Breathe
#4. Meditate
#5. Give thanks
Gratitude sits on the complete another spectrum. It is the act of giving thanks for what you have right here, right now. Simply writing down three things every night you’re grateful for has proven to lower stress hormones like cortisol by up to 23%.

Great experience! First time at Oralux Dental and they took very good care of me. Basha was very gentle and very informative of dental health. I especially liked communicating through sms as they were very responsive. Thanks again

I had my first visit here for a cleaning along with my two little boys, and it was a great experience. Very clean and professional. Barsha was great with the kids even though it was the little one’s first time. Looking forward to our next check-up! (Well maybe not “looking forward” to going to the dentist, but not dreading it at least…)
