Good Morning Reader!
Are you among the millions of people who have to deal with stress on a daily basis? Are you constantly stressed about one thing or another? Are you seeking ways to relax when you feeling stressed out?
We have got you covered. Today, we have decided to guide you through some effective ways to relax when you are stressed.
But first, what is stress?
Stress has become a part and parcel of the modern lifestyle. As we all know, stress is the natural response to protect ourselves in any threat situation. Hence, when we experience changes and challenges in life, our body and mind react in form of stress. Stress is actually a good thing to experience in a short duration as it helps us stay alert as a response to dangerous conditions and situations. However, stress for a long duration of the period is harmful.
Thus, it is so important for you to control your stress levels and relax your body and mind.
Do you know the most effective and impactful way to relax your mind and body instantly?
It is simple. Breath. Yes, breathe in and breathe out.
Do it now. Breath in slowly, hold your breath for 10 sec and slowly breathe out. Do it for 10 minutes twice a day and you will feel much more relaxed than before.
This simple breathing exercise will help you to control not just your breathing, but also heart rate and blood pressure.
We suggest, making this a habit. Practice breathing exercises twice a day daily. You can practice breathing exercises particularly when you are in a stressful situation. This will help you deal with the situation much more effectively.
One of the most significant reasons we struggle with stress conditions is a lack of self-compassion. We have become our worst critics. We tend to be very critical of our behavior, responses, performances and everything we do. This adds to our stress levels intensively.
Thus, try to become your own best- friend. Be a little more lenient towards yourself the way you would like to be to your other friends. Try to be self-compassionate when you make mistakes or fail. Try to mindfully control your negative thoughts and convert them into positive ones.
This is something you have to work on every day. Make these practices a daily habit and you will see the magnificent change it brings into your life.
So, breathe, be self-compassionate and stay positive. These tricks will definitely help you relax you feel stressed out.
