22 Affordable Ways to De-stress
Nina Kim, Georgia Price | AllHealthcare
Whether you’re an EMT dealing with life-or-death situations, or a home health aide caring for difficult patients, any job in healthcare can be overwhelming and stressful. Learning how to manage stress and channel it through positive means is vital, not just for a successful career, but for your happiness and well-being too.
If you don’t take time to unwind, constant stress can lead to a number of physical and psychological problems, like poor concentration, depression, back pain and weight gain. It also weakens your immune system and increases your risk for cancer and cardiovascular disease.
That’s why AllHealthcare came up with these 22 different ways to de-stress without breaking the bank. So hit pause, relax and indulge in some much needed (and affordable!) R&R. A hardworking healthcare professional like you deserves it!

Fantastic article. A slide should have been put in there about chewing gum though, a proven and great way to relieve stress for about 10-20 cents a day!

Thanks for the great websites for recipes based on ingredients I have. I always wondered if there was something on the internet that'd help me use up all the random items I have in my fridge.
What a great idea for stress relief!

im a huge 'to do' list person. ill even put things like 'pack my lunch' or 'do my hair.' it really does feel good to cross off so many things off a list... you feel so accomplished at the end of the day!

Yoga has done wonders for my stress management and life fulfillment since I started 5 months ago. I have so much more energy, a more positive outlook on life, quit smoking and have vastly increased my range of motion.
Oh, and the constant back/shoulder pain? GONE!
