Stress control the easy way.
February 4th, 2010 | by MichaelZ |Count to 10.
This is what some mothers tell their kidsand is works if they are angry.
Count to ten when you recognise stress coming. You can do it quietly or speak it out. It does not matter.
Sometimes this is all you need for simple stress or if you recognise it early.
Many prefer to count down instead and as they count down to zero, it feels as if their stress is slowly going down.
Take a deep breath.
Take a long slow deep breath. Through your nostrils slowly breathe in and fill your lungs completely. Exhale through your mouth slowly after holding your breath to the count of four.
Repeat a few times and as your breathing becomes slower, a calm and relaxed feeing takes over. This, like counting, is an easy stress controller.
In addition, as you breathe in and hold your breath, you create a picture in your mind of all stress slowly diffusing into your lungs and when you breathe out, you are forcing stress out leaving you more relaxed and calm.
You can also use a stress relief squeez ball.
Get up and walk about.
This is a good way to gain stress relief quickly.
If what you are doing is becoming very stressful, take a break, just walk away from it. I do not mean walk away from it for good. It gives your mind a break. It gives you time to calm down and come to grips with the situation.
By doing this you are removing a stressful problem from the forefront of your mind and allow your Subconscious Mind to find solution options. Stanley Morgan, the eponymous financier, when he could not find a solution to a problem, would stop what he was doing and play solitaire. After a while several ideas come forwards in his mind.
You can go for a walk especially in the park. There is something relaxing when you are near to nature. Your body’s frequency synchronises with the frequency of earth. Your brainwave drops to this frequency for peace and tranquillity. You become relaxed and calm. If you are home, clean the house. Get the vacuum cleaner out. From your mind you are removing the problem. You will be surprised how different you feel about your task in front of your.
In addition exercise relieves stress.
It is recognised that exercise reduces stress.
Write a Journal or talk to someone.
This is a good stress buster. You are sharing your problem by talking to someone. If that someone is experienced in your field, you may get some invaluable tips. A wider approach to your problem develops. It may feel, by sharing your problem, you are no longer isolated. You are not alone.
A single thought or idea that could be the solution to your problem, is perhaps the best stress buster. Suddenly you become energised and focussed because you can visualise the successful outcome. Bad stress becomes good stress that produces peak performance.
Writing a journal is good for relieving stress. It anchors what specific things are stressing you. Transferring it into words on paper means you can either keep or discard. It releases the stress. If you have no one to talk to or you are alone with a stressful problem, write it down in your stress journal. Ink on paper is the next best thing.
