Hello fellow property managers! We know this time of year can add extra pressure to anyone’s day. Since we can’t be there to lend you a helping hand {or pour you a glass of your favorite vintage} we hope these helpful tips for relieving stress will help you breeze through budget season!

Try an inversion

“Legs up the Wall” pose is one of our faves when we need to unwind:

Find an empty wall and lie on your back
Stretch your legs straight in the air
Scooch toward wall and rest legs on the wall
Rest with legs on wall for 5 minutes
{PS this is really good for digestion too}

Nibble on calming foods

These foods contain element that help calm the body and mind:

Spinach
Pistachios
Avacado
Lentils
Limes
Kale
Asparagus
Soybeans

**Note: they’re all green! How on brand are we?**

Try a calming breathing exercise

Place right thumb over the right nostril
Breathe in through the left nostril for 4 counts
Cover the left nostril with right ring finger
Remove thumb from right nostril
Breathe out of the right nostril for 4 counts
Continue for 20 breaths or until calm

*This sounds complicated…it’s not!*

Sip on some peppermint tea

That’s a favorite around the Apartminty office…go figure!

Peppermint is rich in essential oils, vitamins and dietary fiber, which helps to control blood cholesterol and blood pressure inside the human body.

Pay someone a genuine compliment

Whether you’re acknowledging a team member’s hard work or lifting a stranger’s spirit, spreading good karma is good for the soul!

Take a walk

There’s nothing like a little fresh air and some peace and quiet to help clear your mind, refocus and prioritze! Even 5 minutes on your lunch break will do wonders.
