How to prevent stress?

In my previous article, I told you what methods of fighting stress exist , here I will give a few more equally effective recommendations.


Often, stress arises from the fact that the mind is overwhelmed with work and we simply have no time to rest. Moreover, to allocate time for rest it is necessary not when you are already falling down, and before eyes it all doubles, it is desirable to leave a little time for respites. As the former were not loaded, try to be distracted from work every hour, spending an unplanned job for at least 5 minutes. But if you allocate yourself more than 10 minutes, it will not be rest, but evasion from work.

A small break can be filled with conversation by co-workers, while drinking freshly brewed tea or coffee. The five minutes allocated for rest from each working hour is far from being an axiom, and each gap can vary. Regardless of how much you need to rest, be sure to leave for a break on time, without waiting for waves of fatigue to come up.

To resolve the stressful situation will help and a diary in which you will describe the problems that worry you in specific moments of time. Try to pour out on paper all your experiences, negative emotions and thoughts. Here you can also describe the possible ways out of the situation, without fearing that someone will doubt your competence or will ask unnecessary questions. Remember that the paper will endure, and you will certainly feel better.

Write down on paper all the problems that will upset you, and try to sort them out on two lists. In the first of them there will be solved problems, in the second - those whose resolution is independent of you. It is clear that for questions in which you can understand independently, you can take immediately, but the rest of the trouble just try to throw it out of your head. After doing this simple manipulation, you'll get a buzz that stress if not passed at all, then retreated.

Once upon a time it was proved that if a person is surrounded by a routine, then the stress towards him is visited much less often. Therefore, if you are not in favor of lovers of the ideal order, you should reconsider your point of view, and after a while you will see that the order in the affairs is directly related to the order in the head. If you have accumulated a lot of unnecessary trash in your apartment, allocate a day or two and spend it on general cleaning. Only in this case, uvas will free up space for really important things, and you will understand that life is being adjusted.

In order to translate this idea into practice, it is possible to pay all bills by the rule not later than the specific number of each month, to put things in their places, to leave the workplace in full order. If you often do not remember where to put the keys, select them for the undershoot shelf; if you forget, when you need to pass a scheduled vehicle inspection, create a reminder in your mobile phone and after a short time you will be surprised how simple it is to solve problems that were previously very difficult for you.

Relax and deal with stress can be and with the help of special exercises that have beneficial effects both on the body and on the mind. Such exercises include the so-called palming. Your actions should be as follows: you need to rub the palm until you feel that the skin has warmed on them. In the next stage, warm hands must be applied to the closed eyes, and you will feel how the energy flows. As you can see, this exercise is extremely simple and it can be done almost anywhere.

Calm down and overcome the stress will help walk, during which do not allow yourself to think about the bad, try to forget the problems. Returning home or to the office you will feel that the load of the failed tasks is not so great.

Thinking about problems, try to give self-assessments. So, if you can not figure out how important it is for you or this task, try to imagine that you will think about it in a few months. It is possible that a month or two will pass and you will forget about what is causing your stress right now.

In order to learn to objectively assess the problems, try everything that you care about, write down in the diary and re-read your compositions in a week or two. Agree that most of the tasks for you are no longer relevant. So was it worth it because of them to worry?

Do you remember what you did most of the time in your childhood? That's right, they played! So why can not you enjoy playing games in your older age? Try to remember the youth and go to the shooting gallery or play football. But here there is a restriction: it is not necessary to struggle with stress, spending hours at computer games - they only aggravate the situation.

Share positive emotions with close people. Remember when you told your husband that you love him? Are your children getting enough petting? Embrace them more often, and you will understand that all problems at such moments recede into the background.
