Stress and suffering: It’s all around us. Anxiety has become an epidemic in the United States, and is increasing at alarming rates. One third of American adults struggle to sleep most nights, and over half have trouble with sleep at least once per week. There’s no question the two are linked. When stress increases, sleep suffers, which in turn increases stress levels, making it even more difficult to sleep. This becomes a cycle. Anxiety is an automatic response to stress, which is more likely to take place during times of sleep deprivation. If you can learn how to relieve stress, you can fall asleep, stay asleep, and live a healthier, happier live.

While it is extremely unfortunate that so many Americans are suffering, we at Epigen Wellness Group are committed to providing reliable information to combat the growing problem of Americans suffering from stress and sleep deprivation, so teaching our readers how to relieve stress is a big goal (and yes, the actionable tips on how to relieve stress are listed below).

How To Relieve Stress:

  1. Breathe. Take deep breaths throughout the day to increase oxygen levels.
  2. Make a list. Write your thoughts on things that bother you as a way to vent.
  3. Make another list. Write all the things that make you happy and are going well to help gain a new perspective.
  4. Exercise. Even if it’s only a short walk, get your blood flowing.
  5. Do the things that help you. If you have a hobby or technique that works for you, make time for that, and incorporate it into your daily routine.
