LIVING WELL
BE ACTIVE
Physical activity can pump up your feel-good endorphins and
other natural neural chemicals that enhance your sense of
well-being. Exercise can also refocus your mind on your body’s
movements, which can improve your mood and help the day’s
irritations fade away.
STICK TO A HEALTHY DIET
Eating a healthy diet is an important part of taking care of
yourself. Aim to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, and
whole grains.
AVOID UNHEALTHY HABITS
Many people turn to vices when the stress becomes
overwhelming. Alcohol, illicit substances, binging on junk
food or other risky behaviors are all habits that can harm
your health.
MEDITATE
During meditation, you focus your attention and quiet the
stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding your mind
and causing stress. Meditation can instill a sense of calm,
peace, and balance that can benefit both your emotional wellbeing
and your overall health.
LAUGH MORE
Too frustrated for a chuckle? Fake it ’til you make it! When you
laugh, it not only lightens your mental load but also causes
positive physical changes in your body. Laughter fires up and
then cools down your stress response. So find some of the best
dad jokes, watch a comedy, or hang out with your funny friends.
CONNECT WITH OTHERS
When you’re stressed and irritable, your instinct may be to
isolate yourself. Instead, reach out to family and friends.
Studies show that people with a strong social network are less
likely to turn to unhealthy habits in times of high stress due to
the availability of their friends to help lighten the load.

“
Being able to prioritize a certain level
of self-care can have a dramatic effect
on how able you are to manage
stress and by extension how you feel
physically and mentally.

at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.
