6 steps to slam stress and re-energize [slideshow]

Yoga And Tai Chi

Natural herbs and supplements can make a difference in helping reduce stress, but for many, these remedies are only half of the necessary equation. Consequently, a number of people also rely on physical activity to relieve stress and lower anxiety. Yoga and Tai Chi are two of the most well-researched stress-relieving exercises. They’ve been shown to dramatically reduce stress levels and empower those practicing these ancient art forms.

Yoga purposefully relaxes and rejuvenates and can also invigorate depending on which type you practice. Similarly, Tai Chi is a Chinese martial art designed to facilitate a state of mental calmness and clarity while improving physical energy and function. The strategic breathing involved in both yoga and Tai Chi naturally boosts energy levels, while the postures and meditations keep your mind, body and spirit focused and grounded.

These exercises create a platform for centering yourself in order to let go of stress and anxieties, and they re-focus your energy on positive thoughts and feelings.
