Say “Sayonara” to stress with these tips and techniques

Stress makes you fat.

Daily pressures of work, kids, community obligations, finances and home all take part in making you feel out of control of your life. Plus, anxiety releases the hormone cortisol, which can pack on the pounds.

The good news, though, is that you’re in control! Adopt some stress-busting techniques right now to keep your cool and whittle your waistline.

A few to try? Yoga, deep breathing exercises, laughing with friends and family and listening to your favorite genre of music.

You can also stop to smell the roses…and the lavender, chamomile and jasmine. According to research, all of these scents work to de-frazzle nerves. For a quick breath of calm during your crazy day, buy their essential oils, put a few drops on a handkerchief and stick it in your pocket or purse for easy access.

Reminding yourself what’s truly important to you is also a great way to keep your stress in check and maintain a balance.

Research suggests that repeating a mantra – a meaningful word or phrase said silently – can help you cope with the hassles of life. Choose phrases with religious or spiritual meanings or choose a quote that speaks to you and your outlook on life.

Of course another way to work out your worry and trim your waistline is by exercising regularly.
