Outside activities like doing a bit of work in your back garden, taking walks, hiking, spending more time outside the

 house, you connect with nature and it  improves mental health. This is very beneficial to those suffering from

depression, stress and anxiety.

Sex 

Whoever said you can’t have sex after work or a long day is wrong getting in on the action won’t just be a physical joyride,  it calms the mind. Sex lowers your low blood pressure, reduces tension,

relaxes your mind and body, reduces heart attack problems and prostate cancer and makes sleep easy.

Please don’t fool around in other ways or abstain from sex because your body releases love hormone(oxytocin)

Work can be very stressful, having intercourse daily for 2weeks help cell growth in the hippocampus, a part of the brain that keeps stress levels under control. “Sexually active people take fewer sick days,”

says Yvonne K. Fulbright, PhD a sexual health expert.

Eat healthy

Stress and nutrition are always linked up together. By eating healthy we mean a nutritious healthy diet.

Few examples of food we can take to avoid stress are: Sunflower seeds, spinach, almonds, asparagus, shell

pistachios and crack walnuts are good sources of vitamin E&B which helps prevent oxidative stress

by working together with a group of nutrients that prevent oxygen molecules from becoming too reactive,

like vitamin B&C .

Time with family

Many people when they get home first thing is to check mobile messages--from there email, facebook etc. They are forgetting about the children or partners they have.The little time they have is shared between family and gadgets-kind of saying ‘well am home care enough to be home with you, but not having enough time to give you my full attention’ 

The face to face talk with your loved ones reduces your stress and is important. Sit down and chat.

Get an instrument

Having an instrument increases self control and is good for children as well. Going for music lessons can be a great way to increase willpower. You can have a piano, guitar, brass or woodwinds etc.

Willpower is often a muscle, and the more it is used that’s the stronger it becomes.
