3 Fun Ways to Relieve Stress After Work
According to the most recent statistics about job satisfaction, only about 45% of Americans are happy and satisfied with the jobs they are holding.
While there are jobs that are considerably more stressful than others– mentally, emotionally and physically–many experts believe that it is how a person copes with these stressors that can affect their point of view about their job.
If you’re one of those people who are always stressed and haggard looking after a week of hard work then you might want to consider helpful methods in relieving stress. Here are three of effective ways to help you cope with problems and headaches brought about by work:
- Warm bath - Due to time constraints, majority of working people nowadays rarely, if ever, take a bath. They just get a shower and head to their appointments. In effect, more and more people are finding it hard to focus on their jobs because they are stressed or too exhausted to concentrate.
A good and easy technique to help you relax after a long and tiring day at work is to get a warm bath. You can even add essential oils to your bath such as lavender oil and eucalyptus oil, which are also known for their relaxing properties.
Read a book or listen to music while in the bath and you will definitely feel rejuvenated when you’re done.
- Exercise - Most people think that exercising is only beneficial for those who are yearning to lose the excess pounds they acquired during those festive days of the year. What they do not know is that exercising can actually help lower the stress levels in their body.
For one, exercising helps increase the neurotransmitters in your brain called the endorphins. This neurotransmitter evokes a feeling of a “runner’s high” after a nature hike or a run. Exercising can also help your mental concentration by training your mind to focus on one task, which, in turn, helps you become increasingly calm and clear-thinking.
Exercise is an effective method of improving your mood, so much in fact that it also helps decrease the symptoms of people who are suffering from anxiety and depression problems. So if you’re stressed out from work, do a few cardio workouts and feel your mood lift up almost immediately.
- Massage chairs - You might be thinking, “why should I get a massage chair as a way of relieving stress when I can just step into a massage parlor for a day of relaxation?” The thing is, instead of paying for a massage every time you go to a massage parlor, you can just spend ones and enjoy the privileges of getting a massage in your home.
Imagine just getting home after a long day at work and just sitting on a massage chair. Sounds amazing right? It will not only help revitalize your energy and senses, it will also help cut your costs for a day of relaxation. You can read these massage chair reviews for information on choosing one to suit your needs.
Try any of these three techniques in relieving stress and watch your concentration and work outcome increase drastically in nearly no time at all.

I knew I have seen that massaging chair somewhere and then I realized it was used in a punishment in IMPRACTICAL JOKERS.
