Tips for Stress
Do you manage your stress? Stress causes illness and deterioration of health.
We get stressed in our daily life so we must learn to manage our stress.
- First, if you want to release stress, you should use deep breathing as a way of life. During depression and anxiety, humans use shallow breathing. So in that case, if we practice deep breathing we can lower stress or stop it from happening.
- Also, simple exercise is a great help to you. Exercising your body makes you feel more energetic and happy. Concentrating on exercise will also bring warmth to your body.
- Do you know the phrase ‘Many hands make light work’? If you have a close friend, talking to them is a great method of reducing stress. A friend’s understanding makes you feel at ease.
- Surely doing something you like will get rid of stress. While you do hobbies, your stress runs away quickly. In addition, maybe you can’t pass the day without stress. At times like that you can’t do better than sleep. A sharp mind will become a soft heart.
- Most importantly if you take alcohol, caffeine and nicotine of cigarettes, just stop! They are a ‘Castle in the air’. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and will cause you heart rate and blood pressure to increase. This increases your stress in the long run. Temporarily, they make you comfortable and appear to relieve stress. However continually, if you take them to release stress your lifelong results will be bad. You can't ‘have your cake and eat it too’. (Health and Stress).
You have a great responsibility in that you must manage your stress and do so by your main agent.
