Staying Stress Free Tips

Pregnancy tends to kick your hormones into high gear. So who needs extra stress, in addition to this? Stress affects every single part of your body, from your mind to your muscles. Staying stress free while you're expecting needs to be number one priority for you at all times.

Here are some ways to stay stress free while you are expecting your bundle of joy.

1. Stay away from people who stress you - You probably think this sounds easier said than done, especially if some of those people are family members. However, it is possible. Create distance by not answering your phone or door, particularly on days when you aren't feeling up to dealing with company.
2. Smile - Smile at yourself in the mirror. Smile at annoying people. Smile even when you feel like screaming.
3. Ask for help - Don't try to do everything on your own. If you're having a bad day and need help with housework, call a friend and ask for her help. Many people are willing to help, all you have to do is ask for that help.
4. Think on good things - Try not to dwell on all the negative things that grab at your attention. Focus on the positive comments people make and the beautiful things in life. Mulling over everything that bothers you will only lead to more stress and anxiety--something you don't need.
5. Get moving - Don't sit at home all the time. Isolation will lead to stress because you will think about all the negative things you've heard or seen. Go for a walk in the park. Call a girlfriend and make a date for a gab session. Make an appointment for a pamper-me-day at the spa. Whatever you do, don't sit at home and cry alone. Getting fresh air will do you a world of good!
