Few people in our life have managed to avoid stress. Fatigue, troubles at work or at home, travel on public transport, lack of money, conflicts and quarrels - all this depletes the body and leads to stress. And if you do not cope with the situations that have arisen, then it is not far from a serious illness. How to help yourself get out of stress?
Shower against stress
First of all, water will help you. It not only cleanses the body at the physical level, but is also able to cleanse the emotional sphere in a peculiar way, and water also promotes relaxation.
If you feel like you are on the verge of a nervous breakdown, take a warm shower. Stand under the running water for a few minutes, close your eyes and try to imagine how all the bad flows away with the water, and you are filled with new positive emotions. You can even say some inspirational phrases out loud or silently, or add some soothing music.
Light as a source of strength
Add more light to your life.
When the sun came out on the street, try to go out into the air and stand under its rays, not thinking about anything, just enjoying your state of peace.
At home, you can light candles and sit in silence for a while, watching the fire and filling it with warmth and light. Even a short relaxation in such an environment will help the nervous system recover a little.
Breathing from stress
Recover your breath. When everything in life seems gloomy and gray, and unpleasant thoughts creep into our heads, we stop breathing deeply. Try to find time to work with your breathing. Find specific exercises or just start breathing deeply. Listen and feel how the air fills your lungs, how your body relaxes. Breathe deeply, slowly and calmly, try to turn off your head at such a moment and not think about anything.
Smells as Keys to Positive Emotions
Aromatherapy helps with stressful situations. Smells create a certain mood and affect the functions of the whole body.
To relieve fatigue and irritation, you can use sandalwood, and to recharge with positive emotions, use orange, lemon, bergamot, tangerine oils.
Activity, music and massage
Movement helps in times of stress. Take long walks in the park, closer to the bodies of water. The longer you walk, the faster the stress goes away.
Listen to pleasant, calm, relaxing music. You can recite mantras or prayers. Music affects the body at the molecular level.
And also, a relaxing massage will help with stress. It is not at all difficult to do it yourself, because the main stress in a stressful situation accumulates in the area of the shoulders and neck. However, if you have a good massage therapist, ask them for help.
