Some of the good stress management techniques are:
Time Management
When you feel that there is too much to do and not enough time then you
start getting panic attacks, lose focus and make errors in your work. Good
time management techniques will help you prioritize your task and manage
your commitments. Make a list of the work in terms of urgent, important, and
not important. This will put you in control of your situation and help you
increase your productivity.
Physical Exercise and Fresh Air
Physical exercise in the fresh air increases the flow of blood and oxygen in
the body. This will help in releasing good hormones and will make a healthy
mind and body. It can be in the form of going out for a walk, being physically
active at home by helping in the household chores, walking uphill, jogging or
running, aerobics, etc.
Meditation
Meditation is an age-old practice that produces a deep state of relaxation and
helps you focus on one thought and clear the others. It works to reverse the
effects of stress by providing the rejuvenation and repair of the mind and body.
Thus, preventing further damages from the physical effects of stress.
Yoga
The practice of yoga involves stretching the body and forming different poses
while keeping breathing slow and controlled. This will relax the body and
energize it at the same time. Some of the good yoga exercises to relieve stress
are Sukhasana (Easy pose), Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana), Prasarita
Padottanasana, Rabbit Pose (Sasangasana), Side stretch, etc.
Healthy Diet
Eating healthy balanced food will reduce the negative impact of stress on your
mind and body. Start your day with a good breakfast, do not skip your meals,
avoid eating junk food, and drink lots and lots of water. Keeping these little
things in mind will help your body function normally and plays an important
role in reducing stress.
Positivity
Always look for something good in every move you take in life. Negative
thoughts reduce good hormones and bring depression and anxiety. It has also
been proven scientifically that you should always smile no matter what the
situation is. Even a fake smile will help to reduce heart rate and blood pressure
during stressful situations. For example, instead of feeling upset over scoring
less in exams or for not getting selected in an inter school event, try to maintain
a positive thought and work on the ways to score better next time.
