Holistic alternatives to a stressful life

Reflexology
Reflexology is an amazing stress reliever, alleviating a whole host of stress-related conditions. Lying down and having someone massage the pulse points in your hands or feet can help with a number of different ailments, with each area of your body associated with a different complaint. What's more, regular treatments can help to keep your condition at bay. Talk to your nearest reflexologist for a bespoke and in depth account of how reflexology could assist you.

Yoga
Yoga is famed for its stress relieving abilities and has amassed a cult following. You don't have to join an expensive club or block book a course of lessons, you can do it in the comfort of (or outside of) your own home. To master the basics, there are a range of inexpensive DVDs out there, as well as a number of free online tutorials on sites such as YouTube. Comfortable yoga clothing that you can move around easily in is all that is required and you can work at your own speed to find a routine that suits your abilities.

Physical exercise
Exercise is a great way of ridding yourself of anxiety and stress - just find a type that you enjoy. Half an hour in the swimming pool will get a rush of endorphins flowing, or you could try running or even cycling. If you need the structure of a gym membership, make a resolution to visit at least twice a week - even if it's just for half an hour. A health club often has facilities such as a sauna and steam room, so why not make use of these after your work out? These will help clear toxins, as well as being the perfect place for some time out to sit and relax!

Meditation
It's often said that the most vital moment for you to make time for yourself is when you don't have the time to do it. Meditation fits this perfectly - in your busy life, you may feel like it's the last thing you have time for but it's an excellent way to settle your brain and distance yourself from everyday stresses. Practicing mediation can help to train your mind to promote relaxation and build internal energy. You can practice it wherever you feel, whether a local class or somewhere that you feel safe and comfortable.
