Are you stressed?
According to a recent study by the American Psychological Association, almost 70% of adults are stressed daily.
Stress not only destroys your health but also drains your happiness and leads to more negative emotions, which in turn can lead to sadness and depression, making it a vicious cycle.
So, if you often find yourself stressed out, here are some stress-reducing practices to start today and change your outlook on life forever.
1. Breathe mindfully
We often try to rush through our day, which can lead to anxiety and stress.
Try taking time out during your day to relax and breathe. Even if you’re on the phone with someone or working at your computer, take a moment to relax your body and mind by closing your eyes.
This will help you calm down and focus on something else, like your work or your thoughts about the day ahead of you (or whatever else is stressing you out).
2. Take a break from work every hour
It doesn’t matter if you’re sitting in front of your computer or working out at the gym, taking breaks and spending time away from your phone and social media accounts can make all the difference when it comes to managing stress.
So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a break and do something else for a while, whether going to the restroom or grabbing a cup of coffee with a friend. This way, you’ll feel better and more focused when you return.
3. Practice gratitude
If there is anything in life that give us joy or bring us peace, we should always be grateful for it! This tends to help reduce stress because we are more likely to focus on what we have rather than what we don’t have. It also helps us appreciate what we do have more.
4. Exercise
Exercise releases endorphins which help reduce stress. Many different types of exercise can help reduce stress including walking, running, swimming, gardening, etc.
Just make sure you pick something that you enjoy so it becomes part of a healthy lifestyle instead of being a chore.
5. Try hypnosis
Hypnosis is not just for relaxation; it can help you achieve a more positive outlook on life. It’s also a great tool for stress relief and self-improvement. Hypnosis can treat anxiety, insomnia, depression, and other psychological disorders.
Here are some ways hypnosis can help you in your everyday life:
- It can put you in a better mood.
- It can help deal with stress in your life by relaxing your muscles and mind.
- It can help you focus on the task at hand (like getting organized!) rather than worrying about other random and irrelevant things.
