Every day people are faced with certain factors that provoke stress and literally unsettle. Here are some ways to improve your emotional state in 5 minutes.
Short workout
Sports can increase blood serotonin levels, so it should come as no surprise that this item is at the top of the list. A short, intense workout can cheer you up, so find a secluded spot and just jump or squat at a brisk pace 20-30 times. This will help.
Laugh
Of course, in a stressful situation, you have no time for fun. But as soon as the opportunity arises, try to find a reason for sincere laughter. You can watch a YouTube video or just remember a very funny incident from your life.
Citrus scent
Carry a bottle of orange essential oil or, better, the fruit itself. According to research, the scent of an orange instantly boosts mood and brings emotional harmony.
Stretching workout
Not only can an intense workout lift your mood, but stretching can also. During stretching exercises, our breathing rhythm is restored and we feel more calm and relaxed.
Meditation
The breathing exercise usually takes 3-5 minutes and you can do it anywhere. Sit comfortably, close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. Do this until you manage to fully concentrate all your attention only on inhalation and exhalation and, as it were, distance yourself from what is happening.
Color therapy
Recently, coloring books for adults have become more popular. By shifting your focus to painting intricate patterns, you can cope with stress and insomnia. In addition, by choosing certain colors for each of the drawings, you will also get rid of negative emotions and will be able to better understand your state of mind.
stroll
Walking slowly is also a kind of meditation. Make it a rule to take a walk in the fresh air every day before bed to relieve insomnia.
Scream
Take a pillow, put your face in it and shout heartily. So you will save the nerves of others, and at the same time let off steam. There are situations when you can't do without yelling, so it's better to throw out negative emotions alone with yourself, and not with your boss.
