STRESS:

It is very common today because of the lockdown. Most of us can't go outside do the activities that they did before outside their house. During the pandemic many things has changed. Most of us has no work, no school, outdoor activities etc. This make us think what should we do everyday. Before we do exercises, or studies but since we're in lockdown we get tired to do same things everyday. That gives us stressed.

How to relieve stress?

There are 5 ways to relieve stress....

1. Listen to music

• If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a stressful situation, try taking a break and listening to relaxing music.

• Playing calm music has a positive effect on the brain and body, can lower blood pressure, and reduce cortisol, a hormone linked to stress.

• Try listening to ocean or nature sounds. It may sound cheesy, but they have similar relaxing effects to music.

2. Eat Right (Healthy)

• Stress levels and a proper diet are closely related.

• When we’re overwhelmed, we often forget to eat well and resort to using sugary, fatty snack foods as a pick-me-up.

• Try to avoid sugary snacks and plan ahead. Fruits and vegetables are always good, and fish with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce the symptoms of stress.

• A tuna sandwich really is brain food.

3. Be Mindful

• Most of the tips we’ve suggested provide immediate relief, but there are also many lifestyle changes that can be more effective in the long run.

• The concept of “mindfulness” is a large part of meditative and somatic approaches to mental health and has become popular recently

• From yoga and tai chi to meditation and Pilates, these systems of mindfulness incorporate physical and mental exercises that prevent stress from becoming a problem.

4. Exercise

• Exercise doesn’t necessarily mean power lifting at the gym or training for a marathon.

• A short walk around the office or simply standing up to stretch during a break at work can offer immediate relief in a stressful situation.

• Getting your blood moving releases endorphins and can improve your mood almost instantaneously.

5. Sleep Better

• Everyone knows stress can cause you to lose sleep.

• Unfortunately, lack of sleep is also a key cause of stress.

• This vicious cycle causes the brain and body to get out of whack and only gets worse with time.

• Make sure to get the doctor-recommended seven to eight hours of sleep.

• Turn the TV off earlier, dim the lights, and give yourself time to relax before going to bed.

• It may be the most effective stress buster on our list.
