Breathing techniques
Feeling stressed, we breathe often and shallowly. Blood vessels narrow, reducing the supply of oxygen to the brain. So breathe more deeply when you are stressed. straighten up Take a deep breath through your nostrils. Hold your breath for a second, then exhale through your mouth. Repeat several times. As you exhale, feel the tension drop.
Meditation
There are different forms of meditation, so choose the one that seems most effective to you. Start with the simplest option: sit in a quiet place, concentrate on breathing, repeating mantras:
- I fill myself with love and kindness;
- I am healthy;
- I am at peace and harmony with myself;
- I am happy;
- Let (the name of the person you love) be loved, happy and healthy.
Keeping a diary
By writing down your emotions, you manage stress. In addition, there is a cathartic effect, as you spit out the pain that has long accumulated inside. Take a notebook, a pen and sit where you will not be disturbed for at least 20 minutes. Record your stream of consciousness without interruption, let your thoughts wander.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a quiet, peaceful place. Describe what you see, hear and feel. Return to this place in your imagination when you feel stressed;
- Write what pleasant emotions you felt recently and why they made you happy;
- Write a letter of thanks to the person who helped you;
- If you could change one thing about your daily routine, what would it be?
- List everything that calms you down.

Make sure your diet has enough vitamin B (found in beans, leafy greens, yogurt, cheese, meat and fish), vitamin C (kiwi, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, oranges), magnesium (nuts, dark chocolate, spinach , avocado) and vitamin E (raw vegetables, eggs and dairy products).
