It’s the New Year and the stress of the holiday season is behind us, or is it? Many people get through the holidays only to find a new set of stress waiting for them in the form of unrealistic New Year’s Resolutions. While losing weight or quitting smoking for example are healthy goals, trying to make drastic changes overnight often overwhelm many people- adding to their anxiety levels instead of reducing them.
“Making a positive change is healthy,” says Puzhen Life Marketing Manager Craig London. “But committing to unattainable goals, or drastic changes sometimes has the opposite effect. The goal of a New Year’s Resolution should be to feel better every day, not worse.”
Puzhen Life, the renowned Hong Kong aromatherapy diffuser company, has been helping people relax and restore balance to their lives since 1995. Below Puzhen Life lists their recommendations on how to make sure you set healthy New Year’s goals and avoid getting overwhelmed by them.
- Make a Resolution to reduce stress. Be committed to curbing anxiety in your everyday life. Stress is one of the biggest factors in illness and mental health issues. By resolving to reduce stress you are already taking great steps towards being healthier.
- Get into a weekly workout routine. Healthy habits include exercise. By exercising three times a week you can lose weight and reduce stress and anxiety levels. This makes personal relationships, work and home life that much easier- plus you’ll feel better.
- Meditate or practice yoga. Staying centered spiritually is one of the best ways to curb anxiety and stay focused throughout the day.
- Learn healthy habits and ways to deal with stress. Talking to a friend or coworker about what’s going on in your day, or by exercising or meditating instead of reaching for the cookie jar all contributes to your wellbeing.
- Treat yourself. Be mindful of your stress levels and when they get too high relax with a professional massage or a spa treatment. Sometimes it’s best to leave these things to the pros.
