There are so many different causes of stress, especially in today’s fast paced world. It seems like bills pile up faster than ever and that can lead to being overworked and that can lead to worrying about our job security, and that can lead to arguments with coworkers or with our spouse and children. You see how fast this can snowball and some people will become overwhelmed and totally frustrated.
Physical stress may be the result of not getting the proper sleep, having to many things to do, a poor diet or just getting over being ill. Mental stress can come from worrying about bills, losing your job, illness or death of a spouse or loved one.
Whatever the cause, stress can take a toll on you physically and mentally. Even the smallest of problems can sometimes totally stress you out.
Tips to help you with those stressful times.
• Exercise – Exercising is an excellent way to relieve tension and anxiety, it will also help you get into good physical condition, sleep better at night, feel more confident about yourself and simply be much more healthier.
• Walking – This topic would normally be in the exercise category, however, it seems that just a short walk can clear your mind and really help to relieve stress especially for elder’s or a person unable to do certain exercises.
• Breathing Exercises – While sitting quietly try to focus on your breathing, take in deep breaths, hold it in a few seconds, and then release by blowing out gently. Make sure to concentrate on your breathing, repeat this for a few minutes.
• Yoga – Yoga is an excellent way to relieve stress. You can also do your own mediating at home without ever taking a Yoga class. All you need is a quiet room and a few minutes to relax. Start by sitting comfortable, you want to focus on all your different muscles by tightening them for 5 seconds and then relaxing them for a minute or so. Start with your scalp muscles, then your face muscles and so on working your way down your body. Its very important to let your mind relax, try to put yourself in a calm and tranquil place, maybe somewhere you’ve been and enjoy. Try to keep the outside world out of your thoughts completely.
