I may not be pregnant, but I get stressed and these tips are helpful if you aren’t expecting nowadays we have so many worries in the world that we can’t really stay calm. Stress is a big factor in health problems and with us getting worried about what doctors even state can be scary. Of course, listen to your doctor and do what YOU believe is right for you and your body.
Journaling
You should de-stress by keeping a journal or at least at the time of most worry right down all the things that are bothering you. Whatever things you have control over or can change put a mark beside it. The things you can’t circle them. No matter what you do you can’t change those things. With that in mind move on to the next thing.
Meditation/Prayer
Whoever you pray to maybe pray with the things you can’t change into attendance. If not meditate and learn to allow nature to come over, you. Put good things only into the universe.
Massage
Now, this is more money-oriented, but you could consider getting a massage. Something to help your body de-stress in a calming environment with a nice massage. Unless you can get someone from your family to give you one.
Peppermint Tea
Peppermint contains menthol which allows your body to relax because it is a muscle relaxant and sedative. This is naturally caffeine free as well, so it allows your body something delicious (maybe some honey with it?)
Positive Self Talk
Keep positive self talk. Kind of like put only good energy into the universe you want to only think and say positive things. Reward yourself if you have been doing good lately. If you are thinking negative come up with small ways to discipline yourself.
No matter what happens, whatever we do might have stress. If you start to learn now it might help as your children grow up.
