5 Stress and Anxiety-Reducing Things You Can Do Right Now

8/6/2015

0 Comments

 
Stress and anxiety are two of the most common mental health issues we all suffer from. They give us overwhelming emotions that sap our energy, makes us less productive, and makes us feel down. And even though we cannot completely do away from feeling stressed and anxious, luckily, there are several things we can do to kick off these unwanted emotions right NOW.

Breathe.

Breathing can make miracles when you are experiencing negative emotions, such as anger. Taking a long, deep breath to calm your mind and body has been scientifically proven to work, and in fact, is the key component of some of the most powerful mind-body exercises like meditation and yoga. Slow, deep breathing is a way to distract the mind from engaging in negative thoughts and emotions. At the same time, the inhalation of fresh air decreases the amount of cortisol – negative hormone – released in the body in response to stress. This very simple practice of mindful breathing is one ultimate way to train your body to becoming a relaxation machine.

Laugh.

Laughter’s the best medicine. When you laugh, magical things happen inside your body, one of which is the release of the ‘feel good’ chemicals in your body that promote positive feelings, and reduce stress-inducing cortisol. As soon as you begin to feel that unwanted sensation of stress or anxiety, pause for a while, browse through some joke sites, watch a 2-minute funny video clip, or read a feel-good book. Taking time to laugh every day is a great way to lessen mental fatigue and reduce stress.

Socialise.

Friends benefit your health in so many ways. Make it a habit to bond with your close friends on a regular basis. And when we say ‘bond’ it means spending quality time with them up close, not through Facebook or any social media. Having a cup of tea and a friend can really help to relieve high levels of stress, and recharge your batteries. What’s more, it gives you a perfect outlet to vent your emotions or anything that bothers you.

Walk.

Walking is one of the best methods available when it comes to alleviating stress. Walking gives your body an outlet for the build-up of energy that triggers stress, and since it is a form of exercise, walking keeps you fit and healthy as a result.

Guided Relaxation.

Guided relaxation or meditation tracks can be a perfect tool to help you to relax. Simply download, switch off your phone and let the words wash over you

what my clients say

"I booked in for an 8 week mindfulness course in order to deal with stress and anxiety. I found it enormously useful and now recommend the course with a kind of evangelical enthusiasm"

"I haven't lost my temper with my kids since we started this!"

"Anxiety, stress, depression, my general health, failing relationships and work it all seemed to get worse day by day. I couldn't find a solution or help for my problems wherever I searched. This Mindfulness Course has shown me the coping mechanism and way to search for solutions/answers within myself and understanding in my chaotic world."

"I went to this course for health reasons and have learn't some great tools to use that I enjoy and that help to balance and energise me."

"I am more energised and grounded. Feel like I have some real clarity."

"My time spent with Katie has been one of absolute transformation.  In 8 short weeks I can honestly say I now know how it feels to truly 'live' again; outside of my head; fully in my body and to finally appreciate my whole self for all its wonder. I never thought I'd be able to say that I could 'befriend' my troubles, but after The Mindfulness course, I honestly feel blessed to have an entirely new perspective on life; my troubles are no longer so surmountable, and probably never were! With Katie, I have created a toolbox for life; I have started a journey into myself that I will never forget.

Thank you Katie, firstly, for offering this course, and secondly, for delivering it with such clarity, openness, kindness and grace. You are an inspiration, and through you I now finally see that I am too"
