Count from one to ten.Mother tells her children thisand is works if they are angry. Next time you feel stressed or recognise the early signs of it, count to ten. You can do it quietly or speak it out. It does not matter. Sometimes this is all you need for simple stress or if you recognise it early. Many prefer to count down instead and as they count down to zero, it feels as if their stress is slowly going down. Â Take a deep breath.Take a long slow deep breath. Through your nostrils slowly breathe in and fill your lungs completely. Exhale through your mouth slowly after holding your breath to the count of four. As you continue to do this a few times, you will notice as your breathing becoming slower, you feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed. This, like counting, is an easy way to reduce your stress level. Furthermore, you can, as you breathe in and hold your breath create a picture in your mind of all stress slowly diffusing into your lungs and when you breathe out, you are slowly expelling the stress leaving you more relaxed and calm. You can also use a stress relief squeez ball. Â Take a walk.This is a good way to gain stress relief quickly. If what you are doing is becoming very stressful, take a break, just walk away from it. I do not mean walk away from it for good. It gives your mind a break. You now have time to calm down and come to grips with the situation. You may want to do something else during this break. This takes the stressful problem away from the forefront of your mind and allow your Subconscious Mind to find solution options. The eponymous Morgan Stanley, when stuck with a problem and no solution, would stop what he was doing and play solitaire. After a while several ideas come forwards in his mind. You can go for a walk especially in the park. Being near to nature is very relaxing. Your body’s frequency synchronises with the frequency of earth. Your brainwave drops to this frequency for peace and tranquillity. You feel calm and relaxed. You can get the vacuum cleaner out and clean the house. Put the problem out of your mind. When you do this, you will notice a different feeling and approach to your task. In addition exercise relieves stress. It is recognised that exercise reduces stress. Â Write a Journal or talk to someone.An excellent stress buster. Talking to someone is in a way sharing your problem. You may get good tips especially if that someone has experience in your field. It opens your mind to a wider approach to your problem. It may make you aware that you are not alone. You have shared your problem and will not feel isolated. A single thought or idea that could be the solution to your problem, is perhaps the best stress buster. Suddenly you become energised and focussed because you can visualise the successful outcome. Your stress will changes to the desired stress that produces maximum efficiency. Writing a journal is also a good stress buster. It highlights the specific items that stress you. Transferring it into words on paper means you can either keep or discard. This is an outlet for stress. If you have no one to talk to or you are alone with a stressful problem, write it down in your stress journal. Ink on paper is the next best thing. Possibly Related Posts:
