Are you totally stressed out all the time and honestly, don’t even know why? Me, too.

I have being finding little things to add to my days to help me keep stress out. I put them all together into this amazing Stress Cleanse you are totally going to want to do with me.

30 Day Stress Cleanse

30 Day Stress Cleanse

  1. Write down 3 things you’re grateful for
  2. Start a simple journal to brain dump – get all those thoughts out of your head and onto paper
  3. Watch something funny – laughing relaxes your body, boosts the immune system, releases endorphins. The easiest thing to do here is find some funny standups on Netflix.
  4. Find 3 things you can get rid of that negatively effect you. Maybe remove clutter, paint that ugly brown wall that’s bothering you, etc.
  5. Go out into nature for 30 minutes (you can find a walking trail, a lake or ocean to swim in, or just walk around your neighborhood)
  6. Create a life-list (like a bucket list, write down things you really want to do or accomplish)
  7. Go volunteer or donate something (my family likes to take pet supplies to the animal shelter and while we are there we get to pet the new kittens!)
  8. Read something inspiring
  9. Have a totally free electronic day – we’re talking phones, computer, and even television
  10. Listen to your top favorite songs
  11. Meditate for 10 minutes (if you’re not well-versed on mediation that’s ok, just sit in the quiet and focus on slow breathing – that’s it!)
  12. Create a daily mantra. Here are a bunch of great ones. I like, “I don’t sweat the small stuff.” Repeat it to yourself as needed during the day.
  13. Treat yourself to a massage
  14. Get 15 minutes of sunlight
  15. Go out into nature for 30 minutes again
  16. Try some essential oils for stress relief like lavender, rose or Ylang Ylang.
  17. Go to bed early
  18. Write out a detailed daily schedule to control your time stress
  19. Create a nightly self-care routine (example: an after dinner bubble bath, followed by 10 minutes of meditation, reading your favorite book, then spraying your pillow with lavender before laying down)
  20. Plan out your dream vacation (science has shown over and over just the act of planning your vacation brings happiness)
  21. Add blueberries to your breakfast every day. Blueberries have been shown to soothe the brain!
  22. Learn at least one of these stress reducing pressure points
  23. Start getting up from your desk or chair at least once an hour and do one of these office stretches
  24. Stay away from stress inducing foods like sugar, caffeine, carbs and alcohol
  25. Go out into nature for 30 minutes again
  26. Start a hydration system. If you aren’t drinking enough water each day try getting a fun new bottle, or setting a reminder on your phone. Here are some water drinking hacks.
  27. Start a new vitamin regimen
  28. Let go of obligations that aren’t bringing you joy and taking up time
  29. Make a pact to start spending money on experiences instead of things
  30. Sit in a detox bath

Here is a printable version if you’d like to follow along on paper. Just click and print!

30 Day Stress Cleanse

Here’s what science says about stress:

  • It increases your risk of stroke by 50%.
  • It’s just as unhealthy to your digestive system as junk food.
  • It’s contagious.
  • It even degrades sperm quality.

I think we can all agree we need to reduce our stress!
