5 Simple Ways To Relieve Stress And Anxiety:
Stress has become a common element of our every day. 5 Simple Ways To Relieve Stress And Anxiety. The world today is fast and keeping up with it is exhausting. So, every once in a while, taking that needed break and switching the buttons off helps to refresh and rejuvenate yourself.
There are multiple reasons why you could be stressed as there are for being stressed. Has stress been holding you back lately? If it has, this is the right time to switch everything else off and snooze your mind. Here are some ways you can reduce your stress and make it less debilitating for yourself:
1. Breathe
If you are looking for instant stress relief, take a step away from whatever you are doing, and give yourself a moment or two of deep breathing. Stress hormones affect the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. During the stress response, the body is conditioned to breathe faster to quickly distribute oxygen-rich blood to your body. Pre-existing conditions such as asthma or anxiety can make it worse. In those couple minutes of deep breathing, try to shift your focus from all stressors to breathing. A good rule of thumb is to breathe in for a count of four, hold for 1 or 2 and then release for 8.
2. Chew Some Gum
Another way to instantly feel less stressed. A 2008 study out of Swinburne University found that people who chew gum while multitasking under stress had lower cortisol levels, reduced levels of stress and anxiety, and increased levels of alertness and performance. Another 2009 study at NICM Collaborative Centre for the Study of Natural Medicines and Neurocognition, Australia, found that chewing gum can improve a negative mood, and increase levels of peace and calm. Chewing gum causes brain waves similar to those of relaxed people. Chewing gum promotes blood flow to your brain as well.
3. Exercise
It may not be what you wanted to hear, but regular exercise (defined as at least 30 minutes of semi-rigorous movement 5 times a week) is directly linked to better moods and coping abilities. Exercise also regulates the hormones of the body, while it reduces levels of the body’s stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol, it also stimulates the production of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that are the body’s natural painkillers and mood elevators, having both short-and long-term bearings on reduction of stress.
4. Eat Better!
Not that you need to change everything about what you are and follow some influencer’s diet to the T, eating better can definitely mean choosing healthier alternatives and reducing the junk. Every once in a while, eat fruit for dessert, swap your carbonated drink for a cup of tea, and such small changes and choices.
Eating a healthy diet can reduce the negative effects of stress on your body, building a stronger immune and nervous system, that is more equipped to deal with stress. Hormones are also better regulated when you are eating your greens
5. Always Catch Up On Your Sleep
Stress and sleep are more closely linked than they seem. Stress can adversely affect sleep quality and duration, while the lack of sleep can increase stress levels. Both stress and a lack of sleep can lead to lasting physical and mental health problems. Once you have had the amount of quality sleep that your body requires, the brain and the systems it controls are able to function better, ensuring better efficiency and therefore reducing stress. A fixed window for bedtime is a good way to ensure you would fall asleep faster with sound, quality sleep.
