Step 1
There are several methods for getting out of stress. However, they are all united by the first and most important step - understanding the root cause of anxiety. The way to get out of stress described below is not the only one, but it is quite simple and therefore can be applied by everyone. It is best to start working with stress not when you are experiencing it, but when you feel comfortable and relaxed, such as before bed.
Step 2
Pay attention to your breathing. Note that you breathe deeply when you are calm. If at this time you look at your body from the side, then the amplitude of the chest movement will be wide. Immerse yourself in memories when you are in a state of complete rest. Remember this state.
Step 3
Think of a stressful situation that worries you. As you plunge into it deeper and deeper, as you experience it, notice how your breathing has changed. It became superficial and quick, confused. While mentally in the same situation, try to breathe deeply. Recall how easy you felt in the previous state and reproduce the corresponding breath. By practicing this exercise several times, you can learn how to get out of stress while experiencing it.
Step 4
Track your breathing. Let it serve as a kind of calmness indicator for you. If during the day you notice that due to the events happening around, the actions of other people, your breathing began to go astray, became faster and more shallow, try to concentrate and make it deep with a special effort of will. Remember again that state of perfect peace when you have nothing to worry about. In addition, it sometimes helps to get out of stress by simultaneously switching attention from the annoying factor to other events and other people.
