Feeling stressed? Try going home for a few days....home as in where you grew up. "Home" has a bunch of familiar people and places that can make you feel at ease. Everytime I feel overwhelmed or very stressed out, I try to hop on a plane and get home for a weekend. Granted my home is on a Caribbean island, but I have asked others and they seem to agree. Seeing family in our home setting reminds us of when we were growing up. This was a time when we really had no responsibilities and our parents did everything for us. Going home brings back these feelings and can take us away from our current problems for the time being. It gives us some time to think about what is actually causes the stress and ways to solve it. You also have the comfort of speaking to your family - probably some of the closest people in your life. Remember that when you go home, say to yourself that you will temporarily put your stress aside and relax for a few days. Usually your brain can subconsciously figure out the problem if you give it time to unwind. Another thing I like to do when I'm home is eat a home cooked meal by my dad! Yes, not the greatest thing to do for a model (hopefully your career allows you to eat whatever you want!) For me, eating a home cooked meal that I loved growing up, takes away 40 percent of my stress alone!
If you can't afford taking a flight home, or simply do not have the time, try just getting out of your regular environment. If you live in a big city, take a drive to the countryside for the weekend. Anything to change up your schedule and go from busy to less busy is good. We all need some time to relax. So give it to yourself. You deserve it!
