TIPS TO REDUCE STRESS
Most of us experience stress in life, whether this is in the short term, personal or long-term stress from a high-pressure career. It is important to identify and to lessen the things that cause you stress. Since you cannot always remove all stressors from your life, how you deal with stress becomes very important to your long-term health. Below are some tips to reduce stress in
day to day life.
Exercise
Exercise in almost any form can act as a stress reliever. It won’t make your stress disappear, but being active can definitely boost your feel-good endorphin and take you away from your daily worries. So be it 40 minutes of brisk walking, yoga, aerobics or some laps in the pool you
will find that you have forgotten the day’s irritation and concentrating on your body. The results are–energy, optimism, calm mind, and fit body.
Connect with people
A problem shared is a problem halved. A good support network of colleagues, friends, and family can ease your work troubles and help you see
in a different way. If you don’t connect with people, you won’t have support to turn to when you need help. The activities we do with friends help us relax and we often have a good laugh with them., which is an excellent stress reliever And maybe your friends or colleagues can also help you out with some solutions to your problems.
Avoid unhealthy habits
Don’t rely on alcohol, smoking, and caffeine as your ways of coping. This will not help you
to relieve any
stress, in fact, it will create new problems. It might provide temporary
relief but it won’t make the problems disappear. Drink plenty of water and eat healthy small nutritious meals. Hunger and dehydration provoke anxiety and stress. So stay fit and healthy.
ALSO READ: BELIEVE IN YOURSELF Be Positive
Look for positives in life and things for which you are grateful. Write three things at the end of every day, which went well and for which you are grateful. People don’t always appreciate what they have. They always crib and complain about everything. Attempt to train yourself to be more positive about life. Change your perspective, and you will see your situation from a more positive point of view.
Plan something Rewarding at the end of your stressful day.
Rewards enjoy taking a hot water bath or half an hour of reading a good book or even watching your favorite T
.V show helps. So basically I am talking about some ME time. Put aside work, housekeeping and family concerns for a brief period before bedtime. Don’t spend this time planning for the next day or doing house chores. Remember, you need time to recharge and energize yourself. You will be much prepared to face the next day.
There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the manner you had hoped they might be. That’s once you got to tell yourself that things can improve. Sometimes people disappoint you and let you down. But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.
I hope these tips to reduce stress will be helpful for you in life. Please share what actions and activities you do to reduce stress.
