Managing our stress - tips from the Well Being CLub

Hi,  We had another really good meeting of the Well Being Club with lots of good ideas!  Many thanks to those women who came along and shared their thoughts and feelings.  We were talking about managing stress and how sometimes sleeplessness is a problem.  I mentioned the five point plan that has worked for my children, I'm sure it's equally valid for adults too! 
1.  Get into a comfortable postiion.
2.  Close your eyes. 
3. Keep really still. 
4.  Listen to your breathing. 
5.  Count how long your breath is - both in and out.

Does anyone else have any tips for us either for sleeping, relaxing or managing stress?

  1. Taking your attention of thoughts and onto breathing is great for relaxation, I dont think we realise just how much we (over) think sometimes, and this can be a great factor in stress...
