minutes.
Written by:- Mrs. Snehal Rajan Jani
Hello my dear friends!
Can you guess which is the most happy and exciting day of an author? If you think that the day when an author get the first prize for the article or story then may be you are wrong. As per my view this day is the day when he or she completes his or her first write up. I also felt the same when I completed my first write up in 2006.
After getting a great response from you all for my stories, today I feel that I should share my first write up also with you. Hope you all will like this also to read.
Nowadays a person becomes more stressful due to high life styles and more expectations. Moreover, he/she has started the comparison with others. Always wants to become more superior than all others, and because of this feels stress, stress and stress.
Also, today we can see everyone is facing different problems. Because of these problems we can find people suffering from stress, tension. Even a child of an age 10 feeling the same. Why? The reason is EXPECTATIONS. Yes, as per my view expectations are the main cause/factors of stress.
Man's expectations to achieve his goals, parents expectations from their children, teacher's expectations from their students.....lots of expectations. When one can't fulfill his/her expectations, becomes tensed.
Now, the question is - how to feel relax from this stress? Here I want to discuss some ways to get rid of this stress:-
1. Do nothing
2. Laugh out loud
3. Tune in
4. Rise relaxed
5. Think positive
6. Walk on the road
7. Breathe easy
Sometimes I am also using these ways when I feel stress, whenever I get some tension.
Let's see how these ways help us to less our stress.
1. Do nothing:-
At least once during the day, take five or ten minutes to sit quietly and do nothing. Try to hear the sou da of your emotions and any tension in any part to your body.
I know it's not easy for everyone. In the beginning when I started this, I also faced difficulty. But now this activity helps me a lot to feel relax. Doing nothing can be a real struggle.
One can slows heart rate and reduces blood pressure by sitting quietly. Studies show that the most stressful situations are things we can't control. But this activity helps us in this type of situations and we regain a sense of control and reduce stress.
2. Laugh out loud:-
Always keep something with you that makes you laugh. It could be a comic book or jokes or something else. One can even watch his/her favourite comedy serial or movie. Good laughs reduces levels of the stress hormones.
3. Tune in:-
This one is one of the best ways to reduce stress. Even I also use this way to become tension free. When you face a stress, just play smooth music like classical or some songs having light, peaceful music.
It's not necessary that everyone should do this. May be some people don't have any interest in the music. They can follow other ways. Whatever music feels most calming to you is the one that's most likely to help ease stress.
4. Rise relaxed:-
Right before bed and after alarm goes off in the morning, take five minutes to relax your body. Start by tensing your toes and then moving upwards until you end by scrunching up and then relaxing the muscles in your face.
5. Think positive:-
When you feel stress think deeply about someone or something from 15seconds to 5minutes. Or else think about the scene from a peaceful vacation. You can read the sentences or stories which inspire you to think positive.
Most of the stress comes from negative thoughts. Thinking about someone you are angry with, or a friend who hurt your feelings can souce stress while thinking of people and things you love can have the positive effect.
6. Walk on the road:-
Take a 10minute walk in this situation. Sometimes in tension, I also use this way, in fact most of the times I use walking only in stressed situation. One can feel less tension and can sleep better. Also, one can steady the blood pressure. It's not necessary to have a half an hour walk. Five to ten minutes walk also can help you a lot to reduce the stress.
7. Breathe easy:-
For five minutes, slow your breathing down to about five deep breaths minute. Generally, we take quick breaths when we are feeling tense. Taking a few deep breaths forces you to stretch your shoulders and loosen up tight muscles. The rhythm of breathing stows to the five second in, five second out helps to control blood pressure which keeps a person tension free.
The persons who do yoga and prayer regularly feel this thing. So in this way one can get relaxed of stress.
So dear friends, don't start your day feeling tense. This makes you to feel tense for the whole day. If you take your troubles to bed with you, they can disturb your sleep. And that can mean even more tension. It's not always easy to follow any of these ways, but once if it becomes a part of your routine, you don't feel right without it.
Thank you for reading.🙏
