There are many situations in work life that are stressful, especially if you are an entrepreneur or a person who has major responsibilities for your company.< /p>
There are various harmful effects of stress on the body, for example, when you are stressed your heart rate increases, your breathing speeds up and your blood pressure rises and although, To a certain extent, follow doctors' recommendations such as eating healthy, exercising and practicing some recreational activity. There are times when we need something quicker for those unexpected situations.
That's why I want to share five points that work for me to reduce stress or how overwhelmed I feel at times, and change my mental state from “ everything is wrong, life is wrong” to “what am I going to do to solve this?”
- Breathe. And yes, although we breathe all the time, when we are stressed we don't in the best way, therefore, I recommend that you get up from your place and breathe deeply and slowly, the way you would do before jumping into the pool, or when you take a breath to give yourself courage. Do it at least 5 times.
- Laugh. You're going to have a hard time finding something funny about your office or job, but You can turn to YouTube and take 3 minutes to watch at least two funny videos. Personally, laughter automatically changes my mood.
- Look at photos of your vacation or something impressive. Some psychologists say that looking at something really nice calms the nerves; Furthermore, if you look at photos of your vacation, you will surely begin to remember comforting experiences.
- Change places. If your workplace has somewhere outdoors, go go there, or go to the store or buy something from the vending machine. The goal is to get away (at that moment) from the place or person that is causing you stress.
- Listen to “the song.” The right music for you can reduce any stressful situation. If there is a song that evokes some comforting experience or simply your favorite song, listen to it and remember why you like it so much. Music is definitely an escape.
You should know that no technique is going to work if you are not truly willing to get out of that hole of negative emotions, try and test which one works best for you.
Finally, it is very important to identify which situations or people cause you stress and start working on them, identify if it is something repetitive, and start working on it. the real root of the problem. Eliminate these situations as much as possible.
