Musicand Food Tips of redcuing stresses (2)

Now, I continue introducing tips of reducing stresses. In fact, muisc and food are also good methods about reducing stresses.

Music
The best companion for exercise is music. Music soothes the soul as they say, and I’m sure I don’t have to convince you of the powers of music to reduce your stress.

Food
Eating well benefits you in two ways - the obvious, it works because it’s healthy for your body, but also I find it healthy for your mind too. Knowing that you are eating well and sticking to certain self-imposed restrictions, means that you feel good mentally and physically about your food intake. This is great because these two areas of your life reinforce each other positively. When you are eating well you mentally pat yourself on the back, have more confidence and find it easier to continue to eat well. When you break from this you feel worse mentally way before your body experiences any obvious negative effects from eating badly. you very quickly get back on track because your mind wouldn’t let you stray for too long. Some people call this self-discipline, but others call it maintaining peace of mind. Overall I believe in a balanced diet - fruit, veges, nuts, breads, a little dairy, meat and plenty of water - always drink plenty of water. There’s enough information out there on eating right and I’m sure you know what parts of your own diet you would like to change. Eating right comes down to discipline. When you change something for the long enough it becomes a habit and you face resistance to change it. The trick is to make all your habits positive.
