       Aerobic exercises like the Nia technique, running, jogging, walking, swimming, and cycling can reduce stress. Exercise should ideally be done for thirty minutes a day on most days of the week.

       Anaerobic exercise, such as weight machines and lifting weights, can be done about twice a week to increase muscle tone and lessen your stress.

       You can also practice meditation or guided imagery in order to reduce stress. I will teach you mindfulness in chapter 10. This will help you so much in daily life.

       Yoga, Nia Technique, tai chi, and QiGong are wonderful mind-body exercises to relieve stress.

       Massage, a spa day, or even a weekend in nature, can do wonders to reduce stress levels.

       Some people get rid of their stress by de-stressing their lives. When you do this, you tackle those things that negatively affect the stress in your life. This might mean getting rid of a stressful job, managing a stressful relationship, or handling stressful finances. When working with clients, we take all areas in their lives into consideration and work through them. The women I have worked with loved the process I use and have finally felt like themselves again. It’s time you take that close look too and make the changes needed to de-stress your life. This is all you have, your life and time, let’s make the most of it, in Joy!

       Take up a hobby that reduces the impact of stress on your life. What are the things you have always wanted to do but were to busy raising a family or working on your career?

       Make yourself a priority; make sure to relax several times per day.
