Deep breathing
The instruction to
"breathe deeply" may sound like a cliché, but it's true when it comes
to stress. Buddhist monks have known about deliberate breathing during
meditation for centuries. For an easy 3–5-minute exercise, sit in a chair with
your feet on the floor and your hands on your knees. Breathe in and out slowly
and deeply, focusing on your lungs as they fully expand in your chest. Shallow
breathing causes stress, but deep breathing oxygenates your blood, helps center
your body, and clears your mind.
Sleep better
Everyone knows that stress can cause sleep
loss.
lack of sleep is a major cause of stress. This vicious cycle causes the brain and body to endure
and only worsens over time. Make sure you get seven to eight hours of sleep as
recommended by your doctor. Turn off the TV earlier, dim the lights and give
yourself time to relax before bed. It might be the most effective stress
reliever on our list.
Drink tea
since a high dose of caffeine can cause a temporary spike
in blood pressure. It can also cause hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis
transgression. Try green tea instead of coffee or energy drinks. It has less
than half the caffeine of coffee and contains healthy antioxidants and
theanine, an amino acid that has a calming effect on the nervous system.
Talk to a friend
If you feel stressed, take a bre
ak, call a
friend and talk about your problems. Good relationships with friends and loved
ones are essential to any healthy lifestyle. These are especially important
when you are under a lot of stress. A quiet voice, even for a minute, can put
everything into perspective.
Listen to music
When a stressful situation
weighs you down, try taking a break and listening to some relaxing music.
Playing calm music has a positive effect on the brain and body, can lower blood
pressure, and reduce levels of the stress-related hormone cortisol. We
recommend playing Bach with cello master Yo-Yo Ma, but if classical is not very
important to you, try listening to the sounds of the ocean or nature. It may
sound strange, but they have the same relaxing effect as music.
