How to eliminate everyday stress: 10 tips and tricks

1. Exercise

Exercising regularly is one of the best ways to relax your body and mind. In addition, exercise improves mood. But you have to do it often for it to bear fruit.

How long should you train each week?

At least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderately intense exercise such as walking or 75 minutes of more vigorous exercise such as swimming, jogging, or other sports.

Focus on setting fitness goals that you can achieve so you don't end up giving up. Above all, remember that doing any physical exercise is better than doing nothing.

2. Relax your muscles

When you are stressed, your muscles tense up. To help dissolve them, you can:

rate extension
enjoy a massage
Take a warm bath or shower
Sleep well

3. Deep breathing

Stopping and taking a few deep breaths can take the pressure off you right away. You'll be surprised how much better you'll feel once you learn how to do it. Just follow these 5 steps:

Sit in a comfortable position with your hands in your lap and your feet flat on the floor. Or you can lie down.
Close your eyes.
Imagine yourself in a relaxing place. It can be on the beach, in a nice field of grass, or anywhere that gives you a sense of peace.
Take deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling slowly (at least 5 seconds per phase).
Continue for 5-10 minutes.

4. Eat well

Eating a regular, balanced diet will help you feel better overall. It can also help control mood. Your meals should be full of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean protein for energy. And don't skip any of them. It's not good for you and can put you in a bad mood, which can actually increase your stress.

5. Reduce speed

Modern life is very busy and sometimes we just need to slow down and relax. Look at your daily life and find small ways to do it. For example:

Set your watch 5 to 10 minutes ahead. This way you will get to places a little earlier and avoid the stress of being late.
When driving on the freeway, stay in the slow lane to avoid passing and being passed all the time.
Break large jobs into smaller jobs. For example, don't try to reply to all 100 emails unnecessarily, just a few.

6. Take a break

You have to plan some real downtime to give your mind some stress-free time. If you are someone who likes to set goals, this may be difficult at first. But keep doing it and you will be looking forward to these moments. Relaxing activities you can do include:

Meditation
Yoga
Tai Chi
Prayer
Listen to your favorite music
spend time in nature

7. Find time for hobbies

You have to set aside time for the things you enjoy. Try to do something every day that makes you feel good and helps relieve stress. It doesn't have to be a long time, even 15-20 minutes is fine. Relaxing hobbies include things like:

read
Knitting
do an art project
Play golf
Watch a movie
do puzzles
Playing cards and board games

8. Talk about your problems

If things are bothering you, talking about it can help reduce your stress. You can talk to family, friends, a trusted priest, your doctor, or a therapist.

And you can also talk to yourself. It's called internal dialogue and we all do it. But for self-talk to help reduce stress, you need to make sure it's positive, not negative.

So listen carefully to what you think or say when you're stressed. If you are giving yourself a negative message, change it to a positive one. For example, don't tell yourself, "I can't do this." Instead: "I can do it" or "I'm doing my best."

9. Be easy on yourself

Accept that you cannot do things perfectly no matter how hard you try. You can't even control everything in your life. So do yourself a favor and stop thinking you can do so much. And don't forget to keep your sense of humor. Laughter is the best thing to make you feel relaxed.

10. Eliminate triggers

Try to understand what are the main causes of stress in your life. Is it your job, your travels, your school work? If you can identify what they are, see if you can eliminate them from your life, or at least reduce them.

If you can't identify the root causes of your stress, try keeping a stress diary. Take note of when you become more anxious and see if you can determine a pattern, then find ways to eliminate or lessen these triggers.
