Beating Stress by Astrological Sign-Part 1

Aries-When you get stressed out, your adrenaline tends to skyrocket. The best way to work off your tension is activity! Walking, gardening, even batting a ball around will make you feel a lot better. Writing down the steps you need to resolve a problem is also good. INSTANT STRESS-BUSTER: A long drive. It’s an easy way to feel that at least for this moment, you’ll in control of SOMETHING (until you clear your head and take care of the one that’s not).

TAURUS-For you, it’s all about returning to home to unwind. You “work out” stress by being a couch potato, watching TV or listening to soft music, while curled up in a blanket. INSTANT STRESS-BUSTER: A small shopping spree. Your sign enjoys shopping (for the most part), so buying yourself a little something, like a new skin cream or power drill, is an instant pick-me-up.

GEMINI-You’re the talker of the Zodiac, so talking out your stress with someone is the best way for you to deal with it. If no one’s available to listen to you, vent your frustrations out in a journal or write a letter (Don’t mail it, though). An INSTANT STRESS-BUSTER for you would be a manicure or hand massage (Geminis are natural multi-taskers, really working their hands and fingers).

CANCER-Your tend to lose your appetite when you’re under stress. Eat some comfort food (Meatloaf and mashed potatoes, ice cream, burgers and fries-anything that you consider as comfort“). They’ll make you feel better and that everything’s going to be alright again. INSTANT STRESS-BUSTER-Cook! Make some noise with the pots and pans!

LEO-You love and crave the attention of others, so if you surround yourself with adoring “fans“, you’ll quickly get over the blues. Taking your kids, friends, spouse or fans out to dinner or a movie is also good. New clothes that make you look fantastic (and getting complimented on them!) will also bring about a better mood. Your INSTANT STRESS-BUSTER is looking over old photos; you’ll remember good times you’ve had.

VIRGO-When you’re stressed out, try working on small organizing projects, such as cleaning out closets or even your purse to feel better. Getting your surroundings in order makes you feel like your problems are in order, too. And while you’re cleaning, you just may come up with a solution to what was bugging you in the first place!
INSTANT STRESS-BUSTER-You have a great eye for detail, so keep a jigsaw puzzle around and spend a little time on it when you’re upset or worried. It gives you something else to focus on.
