What are some fun ways to relieve
stress? When most of us think of working on our stress level, our minds
conjure up images of sitting in the lotus pose, meditating for hours
on end, or taking up activities such as Tai Chi. Although these are
great stress busters, there are a number of simple, yet fun ways to
relieve stress that you can start using today to feel better and enjoy
life.

Life isn’t about suffering
with anxiety, fear and stress. You deserve to enjoy life! You simply
need to give yourself permission to proactively take care of your body
and mind. 

Quick Tips for Putting the
Fun Back in Your Life
 

There are a number of stress
relief tips, but here are the top five fun ways to relieve stress: 

Spend some time playing
with your kids, nephews or nieces.
Few things will help you beat
stress like playing with children - their natural joy and exuberance
is contagious, and you’ll soon forget all about your “grown up”
worries. Playing games like Charades, Monopoly, or Hide and Seek are
fun ways to relieve stress while recapturing some of your own forgotten
youth. Whatever it is, make sure it’s an off-the-couch activity, not
a passive activity. You won’t relieve much stress watching mind-numbing
television! 

Go fly a kite - literally.
This is one of the fun ways to relieve stress that most adults have
forgotten about. Pick up a colorful kite from the local store, and spend
a few hours just running through a field or empty lot, watching your
kite dance in the sky. You’ll feel years younger, and the things that
cause you stress will seem miles away. There’s just something refreshing
about the outdoors - the green grass, crashing wind, blue sky, and vibrant
sunlight. 

Spend some time at the beach.
Beach vacations aren’t just for kids - spending a few hours shuffling
through the waves, building sand castles, and throwing Frisbees will
lighten your mood and loosen your muscles. Plus, you’ll get to spend
some time out in the sun, which naturally helps curb the effects of
built-up stress because of the natural Vitamin D you will soak up. 

Play a game with your family,
such as having them decorate their dinner plates.
Make a contest
out of it - take pictures of each of the plates and give out small awards
for various categories, such as “most artistic”, “most
gourmet”, and so on. You and your family will have fun, and the
pictures will provide a good laugh and great memories for years to come. 

Painting an abstract picture
is another of the fun ways to relieve stress.
Art isn’t about being
precise or following some particular technique. Artist Jackson Pollack
spread out canvas on the floor and dripped paint directly out of tubes
and cans. You can set up an “art studio” in your garage or
basement, and have fun slinging paint around with abandon. Just make
sure you’re not wearing that outfit your spouse got you for Valentine’s
Day.  

You deserve to live a happy,
healthy life. Give your body, mind and spirit the necessary tools to
they need to , peaceful lifestyle.
