Fantastic And Different Ways To Relieve Stress

Fantastic And Different Ways To Relieve Stress

By:


A couple good nerve calming techniques can save your life, because stress is more than just unpleasant it's also not healthy. Disciplined practices such as palates can help relieve that stress, but what if you aren't motivated? Perhaps you need to try a few of these simple ways to calm down.



1. Give somebody a big, loving hug. Hugging usually means you're getting a hug back..and there is nothing more relaxing than being in someone Else's arms.

2. Do it in a different way. Go talk to someone you usually don't i.e. a member of the canteen staff, or eat lunch on the balcony. Just doing anything that breaks the monotony of your normal behavior can calm your nerves.

3. Take a hot shower. It relaxes your muscles, and gives you a break from those more stressful activities. Some say that an alternating hot and cold shower is even more relaxing.

4. Try paying close attention to your thoughts. Spot those 'nasties' that lurk just below the surface (hunger, worry, a phone call you need to make) and you can resolve them and feel more calmed. If you practice this thoughtfulness exercise, it may become one of your favorite nerve calming techniques.

5. Try laughing. The best way for most people is to stand in front of a full size mirror, stark naked! That always gives me a good laugh; especially first thing in the morning. Just ensure it is a good 'belly laugh', one that makes your sides hurt and you become short of breath. Not only will it relax you but it burns calories too!

6. Listen to music. Keep your favorites at the office, in the car, or wherever you'll need it most. Music can calm that savage beast that is found in all of us. Choose the tunes that bring up happy thoughts and use those to help you.

7. Exit the room for a while. This can help if the things in the room or related to it are triggering your stressful thoughts. Why not remove yourself for a little while? Just remember to not slam the door after you!

8. Take deep breaths. Take five deep breaths through your nose. Close your eyes and be mindful only to your breathing while doing this. It's like a mini-meditation, and perhaps the most effective of the quick relaxation techniques.

9. Drink something decaffeinated. Caffeine is a stimulant and causes a rapid heartbeat and increased mental stimulation. This can cause feelings of stress and anxiety.

10. Get out and about. If you have at least ten minutes to spare, going for a walk is one of the best calming techniques. While you're at it, enjoy the scenery or go and talk to that person in technique 2.

11. Get off your shoes. Remember that part in Pretty Woman where Richard Gere took his shoes and socks off. That reconnection with Nature has a remarkable effect.
