Alternative Ways to Reduce Stress
What’s an easy way to forget the day’s worries? Workout! According to the Stress Management Society, exercise depletes stress hormones and releases endorphins. With high endorphin levels, you may feel less pain and fewer negative effects of stress. All types of exercise can relax the muscles and soothe stress-related aches. Just remember to pick a workout you love and get in a routine.
