15 ways to reduce stress (2)
Open your mental "relief valve"! The following 15 ways may help you through various psychological crises.
- Exercise
Participating in sports is undoubtedly a great way to relieve stress.
When running fiercely, swimming in water, or swinging in a fierce battle, the muscles are tense, but the nerves are relaxed. After sweating, you will be completely relaxed.
- Take a bath
Many people like to take a warm bath before bed to relax their bodies after a long day of stress. This is indeed a good way.
Lie still in the water and let this relaxing feeling flow down your arms, shoulders and body.
The water temperature should be kept at about 37°C for about 15 minutes. You can also try some bathing methods such as Chinese herbal medicine bath.
- Tourism
Or you can go to the countryside or scenic spots with your family and friends on weekends to appreciate the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
Especially in areas with dense forests, there are several times more negative oxygen ions than in cities, which is a natural oxygen bar. Breathing fresh oxygen in nature is better than "oxygen bar" in the city.
- Keep a journal.
Journaling is a great way to vent. When you have something on your mind that you cannot mention to others, or if you have any grievances and resentments, you can write it down in notes.
It seems that fewer and fewer people keep diaries now. In fact, in the process of writing, you will feel that your emotions are gradually stabilizing.
- Slow down
Slow down the pace of life, savor when you eat, don't worry about traffic jams when driving, stop work and drink a cup of tea or coffee to calm yourself down.
When the whole rhythm slows down, the mood will also be relieved.
- Climb high and look far.
As the saying goes, "Stand tall, see far, and live well." You can climb tall buildings or mountains.
Or watch the sunrise, feel the light and heat from the sun, let the first ray of morning light illuminate the future; or look at the starry sky, let the silence and beauty help you forget your troubles; or face the sea, let all the sadness and depression disappear becomes insignificant.
- Chat online.
Log in to the Internet, enter chat rooms, and express various bad emotions, such as depression, depression, anxiety, anger, sadness, etc. , free and unrestrained towards strangers. At the same time, you can exchange views with other netizens, not only get comfort from others, but also clarify your own thoughts.
- Helpline.
People who are in a bad mood can find a reliable psychologist and express their feelings freely. Even those closest to them don't want to share their secrets, they can tell them all without fear.
While listening to the enlightenment of psychologists, talk about the philosophy of life. A psychiatrist will rescue you from your troubles step by step, just like a doctor treats a disease.
