I find I require two sessions a day to destress adequately. I have to build these sessions into my day consciously, and I don't do the same things every day, either. Sometimes, it's stretching, meditation, yoga, walking the dog an extra walk, doing a quided relaxation on cd, journaling or writing creatively, but these are separate from my physical workouts. Working out consistently helps enormously, but the two sessions a day in addition is ideal for me. They don't have to be long sessions, either. Sometimes, it's as little as taking five minutes or less to breathe and relax my body part by part, just sort of mentally and emotionally checking in. When I can, I give it more time. But, there are days five minutes is enough. And, there are days it's difficult to give myself enough time to destress adequately, too! But, once you've made it an intention in your life, things will get better.
