I wonder if you know anyone in their 30s right now who isn't plagued with stress of some sort. Whether you are smashing down the career path(or not, right?) or hectic at home with family life we're all familiar with that head-in-a-vice feeling. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can't avoid stressful situations forever but you can teach yourself how to manage them. Here's 3 ways banish stress in your 30s!https://giphy.com/embed/3orieRnQl4hiamaaVW

We all know laughing makes us feel good but apparently it can even make you feel good when it's fake! We all know exercise can help de-stress by releasing endorphins but did you know having a right good giggle can do the same?! It doesn't even have to be genuine but in our experience fake laughing is so ridiculous that you'll be real laughing in no time.

The ultimate(we think) stress busting mechanism is to learn to sew! We're biased at Sew Confident but there is science behind this, and loads of customers come back time and time again to enjoy the proven de-stressing qualities sewing can bring.

We also know you benefit from "bursting with pride syndrome" after completing your first item. You can't even imagine how immensely satisfying it is to wear something you've made and have someone ask where you bought it. It's probably the best feeling ever. This also applies to home furnishings and quilts - we can teach you all of these!

We combine ALL THREE stress busting elements in our class, we have sewing(obviously) laughing(definitely) AND hobnobs...which have oats in. I'll admit that is a bit of a loose link there and perhaps not EXACTLY what tip number 1 meant but I'm going with it!
