It’s a pleasure to be a part of author Darlene Josaphe’s Pump Up Your Book Virtual Book Tour for her Self-Help Stress Solutions Series.
This delightful series is available as eBooks only. It covers 10 areas of stress and gives tips on how to reduce or help manage that daily worry. As part of the tour, I’m sharing my thoughts on 3 of the books and a bit about the author.
When one thinks of ways to relieve stress, walking isn’t among the first things to come to mind. Walking sounds more like another chore or a form of exercise. In reality, walking can help reduce your stress levels and is good exercise. Author Darlene Josaphe explores the many ways in which walking can reduce your stress level. Walking gets you away from the problem area giving you a chance to cool down and get a clear head about the situation. Walking gives you new sights and sounds to ponder, thus taking your mind off the problems you’re stressing over.
Walking also helps you physically, which in turns helps with your stress levels.
Walking a bit each day can help keep stress levels down. It gives you something to look forward to, something just for yourself.
There isn’t a lot of equipment needed to walk so that doesn’t add to your stress level. Find a comfortable pair of walking shoes and set out. Josaphe notes that the benefits of walking will surprise you as you relax and get exercise at the same time.

Gardening is one area where I truly know stress can be released. Playing in the dirt, so to speak, will take you mind off your worries and calm your soul.Author Darlene Josaphe takes GARDENING FOR STRESS RELIEF one step further by explaining the many benefits the act of gardening provides, as well as the benefits you reap from the task. She notes that by creating a vegetable or herb garden, you not only reduce your stress while gardening, but also improve your overall health by eating healthier items you have grown. If it’s a flower garden you have created, she explains that enjoying the picked flowers continues to reduce your stress.
The book also explains how just the act of creating something from nothing - a beautiful garden from a bare spot of ground - can aid in stress relief. It gives the enjoyment of accomplishment.
Reading through the book will have your fingers itching to dig in the dirt. Whether it’s a small or large portion of ground you prepare for a garden or just a small container garden, the daily task of focusing on tending to those items will relax and revive you.

Walking always reduces stress for me. It also sparks my imagination--I think about the things I see, smell, and feel. Of course, I usually walk on my ranch and have either horses, dogs, or my pride of cats following me. I find doing things outside, in the sun and breeze, help diffuse stress. It might be feeding the animals, getting loving from my horses as I brush them, or just leaning on the fence watching life. It unwinds me.
ReplyDeleteNice set of books Darlene!

Mason - Today's world is increasingly stressful and I think that we all have to find ways to keep the stress level to a minimum if we can. It sounds like Darlene has some interesting ideas for that; thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a book with good tips. I like gardening and aromatherapy for relaxation, and I could add - yoga!
