STRESS BUSTERS

   SIX HANDY STRESS BUSTERS

Image

To lead a healthy life, we need to take account of the full range of factors that can influence our health. The philosophy of health recognizes that the body and mind are inter-related and that if one is out of balance, it can affect the other.
A demanding job, too many personal commitments and a polluted environment are some of the factors that can put us at risk of stress and affect our health and well being.
It is not possible to avoid stress entirely but there are ways to restore equilibrium that do not involve stimulants or medical intervention.

Following are some remedies to counter the effects of stress -

1. LAUGH

 Laugh more. Laughter is really the best medicine. It disrupts negative thoughts, boosts the immune system, relaxes the muscles and stimulates the release of feel-good brain chemicals (endorphins).

2. BREATHE 

Practice breathing properly. When we are tense, we don't
breathe deeply and the shallow breaths we take contribute to our feeling of anxiety.

Image

Try taking one breath every 6 seconds. Do this twice a day, 10 minutes per session and it will become a healthy habit.

3. WALK

Image

Move vigorously. Aerobic activity helps metabolise the stress hormones that are created when we are angry or tense. Fresh air and sunshine can also improve the mood.

4. AVOID

 Avoid the triggers that lead to stressful situations. Eg: if you find difficult to cope with crowd,rearrange your time-table to avoid travelling during rush hours.

5. MEDICATION

Image

 Check your medications. Sometimes the things you take to reduce stress may be having adverse effects. Eg: sleeping pills can produce a next day hangover. Also some hypertension medicines or cough syrups may have unexpected side effects such as poor sleep.

 6. STOP SMOKING

Try to cut down on cigarettes (which contain nicotaine) and coffee or chocolates (which contain caffeine). These may
provide a temporary lift but can produce some side effects like jittery feelings.
