If you find you’re ready to explode, come to the gym and blow off steam with a tough kettlebell workout. I guarantee you’ll feel better when it ends. Exercise is one way to rejuvenate yourself that also leaves you feeling great months down the line when you do it regularly. It’s amazing, but the more you workout, the more energy you have! That’s one way to boost your energy level. It also burns off the hormones of stress and increases the feel good hormones.
Take a break from the chaos of the day and go for a healthy walk.
When you’re ready to pop because of stress, take a walk and make it brisk. Waking is a form of exercise, but you can moderate it based on how you feel emotionally and do it on the spot, without heading for the gym. Walk as briskly as you can until that sick to your stomach feeling starts to dissipate, then walk a little further in a moderate pace and appreciate everything you have. It’s good for your emotional health.
Breathe deeply and blow out your troubles.
Inhale deeply through your nose and hold, then blow out through your mouth. Deep breathing is another technique to help you rejuvenate. Take a deep breath, even pushing out your stomach to make more room for air and focus on getting air into the lower part of the lungs. Hold the air and then blow it out and feel the relaxation set in as you do.
You’ll feel rejuvenated when you eat healthier.
