After work, I usually have a short walk to the bus stop nearby, and I’ve found that a few minutes outside, alone, and in the quiet can help with stress a lot before I have to go back home and transition to things like homework and house chores. Deep breathing also does a great deal to regulate my feelings of stress.

Riding my bike, listing to music, drawing, painting, these are just a few things I enjoy doing when wanting to just relax.

Long walks, and listen to meditation audios with music.

cuddling and playing with my dog, reading, listening to music and watching tv or movies helps me.

deep breaths and reading

[glaiza]

For myself how I relieve stress is getting to do the things I love outside of working with kids or being with my own children. I love to read it’s a way for some much needed alone time, I love also getting out for some fresh air with a walk or hiking, I also like to take a bath every so often when time permits with little ones. Overall for myself just getting in some alone time to myself helps me a ton with stress.

I could walk away within eyesight and take a breath.

Mindfulness practices, exercise, deep breathing, spending time in nature, talking with a supportive friend or colleague, and engaging in hobbies or activities outside of work. It’s important for us to prioritize self-care and find healthy ways to manage our stress levels to avoid burnout and maintain well-being.

Me gusta caminar durante mi descanso para sentirme renovado y listo para emprender la segunda mitad de mi día. También escucho podcasts para darle a mi mente un descanso de las actividades de los niños. Darme un pequeño capricho, ya sea un café o una barra de chocolate, también me ayuda a desestresarme.Me gusta caminar durante mi descanso para sentirme renovado y listo para emprender la segunda mitad de mi día.

I think walking is a good stress reliver or just time spent alone or doing something you enjoy. One of my favorite things to do is mow the lawn, it gives me a few hours of alone time to think or decompress.

Meditation and separation of work from home.

I personally just take time to walk away. I allow my self 3 deep breathes and then return to that conversation with the child .
