De-stress and #SlowDownZindagi

   In a world as competitive as ours, stress is something that one cannot evade. Whether it's the tension of the next board meeting, that of excelling in our studies or that of preparing a grand dinner for guests arriving in the house, we have all encountered stress and bucked down under it's pressure.

   So here are my top five ways of giving stress the boot, to #SlowDownZindagi and de-stress:

   1. Sitcoms: When I am stressed I cannot concentrate properly and as a result cannot get much constructive work done so I veg out in front of the idiot box or go on a marathon of my favorite sitcoms. Drama, thriller, romance and comedy - Whatever the genre be, it helps me take off my mind of my worries and relax a little. Have completed many a series like this - Two and a half men, How I met your mother, The big bang theory, Friends, Modern Family, Dexter, Castle, Criminal Minds,  Sherlock, Sex and the city, Desperate Housewives.. The list goes on and on!

   2. Listening to songs: Listening to my favorite tunes makes me forget the reality and takes me to a completely different world free from tension, worries and stress! The tunes may vary from fast and loud tracks to sweet, slow and romantic ones, but the effect that they have on me is always the same - A much relaxed and calmer me!

To quote a song by Natasha Bedingfield -

"There's a place that I go,
That nobody knows.
Where the rivers flow,
And I call it home.

And there's no more lies.
In the darkness, there's light.
And nobody cries.
There's only butterflies." 

- Pocketful Of Sunshine.

   3. Spending time with loved ones: Family, friends, your significant other or your pet - spend time with whoever hears about your problems, makes you smile, cherishes your presence in their lives  and makes you feel awesome and awesome about yourself!

   4. Go on a mini vacation: A weekend getaway to a nearby hill station or a break from routine household chores by checking in a resort is a good way to beat the stress. For us lucky Mumbaikars and Puneiites - Matheran, Khandala, Lonavala and Mahabaleshwar to name a few are hill stations just a few hours away! And for when one gets long weekends off, Goa is never too far away!

   5. Getting massages: For me, this is by far the most effective way of de-stressing and one of the best feelings in the world I have felt yet! It soothes my tired muscles and aches. What can be better than getting a nice full body massage followed by a nap to sleep through the stress and wake up refreshed and raring to go!

   Also, I would love to know how you guys relieve stress in your lives. Do answer as the best comment will win a voucher!
