10 Quick Ways To Lower Your Stress

With so much rush and daily chores, it's hard to find someone who, at least at some point, doesn't end up stressing. Overcoming stress is not easy, but it is possible. Check out a list of 10 ways to deal with it:

1. Beware of expectations

Changing your expectations about some things can help you avoid major bouts of stress. Think about the problems that often generate stress and come to see them differently.

2. Do meditation

The maxim that says to take a deep breath at the time of stress is true. And just like breathing, meditation can be very beneficial for calming down, improving focus and ridding the mind of some thoughts.



3. Work out

Practicing physical activity helps prepare the body for starring situations. This is because your brain releases some chemicals that help fight stress. Even if it is little, it will make you feel better.

4. Laugh

Studies show that people who laugh more show larger drops in stress levels. Laughter is really the best medicine. Comedy movies are great options for when you feel stressed.

5. Make decisions

Deciding can be stressful, but postponing decisions is even more so. So don't be afraid to make decisions and move on.



6. Hang up the phone

Disconnecting for a while is good and helps to calm down. Take time out daily just for yourself, and disconnect from everything even if it's only for a few moments.

7. Eat well

Not to discount all the stress on food, after all it is not good for health. But eating right can help relieve stress. Just not worth exaggerating.

8. Correct posture

It may seem strange, but a psychologist has found that maintaining an upright posture can reduce stress. This has to do with body language, which shows a more confident and secure person.

9. Assume your feelings

It's no use pretending it's okay. Admitting feelings, even negative ones, helps to calm down, so you deal with them.

10. Keep control

When you see the first sign that stress is approaching, don't despair. Think of things that can help you stay calm and put them into practice before the situation gets out of hand.
