SOS STRESS RELIEF

We gathered 11 easy ways to relieve stress and anxiety that everyone can do at home. Of course, these are only small things to do but it might help in an urgent situation. Or maybe you just want to become more conscious about your body and mind. Then these are the things to look into.

If you have serious mental health problems we would kindly advise you to reach out for professional help.

1. TAKE A WALK OUTSIDE

Going for a walk outside will get you in a more positive state of mind. Being in nature will not only make you feel better and it is super healthy as well. It will reduce stress by lowering the heart rates and thinking about something else than your problems. The brain will produce endorphins which will help you to get into a better mood.

2. ACUPRESSURE

What is Acupressure? It is a technique based on traditional Chinese medicine. With your fingers pressure is applied to specific points on the body. This technique can effectively decrease stress and other medical problems.

3. ENOUGH SLEEP

Sleeping is very important for your mental as well as your physical health. When you sleep your body can rest. But getting enough sleep isn’t only about total hours of sleep. It’s also important to get good quality sleep on a regular schedule so you feel rested when you wake up. With only a few tricks you will feel more energetic the next day.

4. EXERCISE

Already a moderate exercise can increase the level of cortisol, the stress hormone, in the body.

5. BOX BREATHING

When you become stressed or anxious, your brain releases cortisol, the “stress hormone.” By taking deep breaths, your heart rate slows, more oxygen enters our bloodstream and ultimately communicates with the brain to relax.

6. BODYSCAN MEDITATION

While there are many specific meditation techniques that can be used to help us find the stability of mind and cultivate mindfulness over time, one of the most accessible practices is a body scan meditation, during which you bring attention to your body, noticing different sensations, as you mentally scan down, from head to toe.

7. CALMING AND MINDFUL APPS

Nowadays, meditation has been made simple by downloading calming and meditative apps on your phone. You’ll discover how meditation can improve your mood and your life when applied regularly. These apps provide guided meditation, suitable for all levels. Many reviewers claim great reviews and improvements they have seen in their lives by making use of these apps.

8. YOGA- THE TREE

The tree pose is associated with the root chakra (Muladhara) and earth. The goal of this pose is to feel like a tree with your foot anchored on the floor while reaching up to the sky. This pose allows energy to circulate from the foot to the top of the spinal column. It helps to build your muscle strength, coordination, movement and balance.

9. ACTIVATE YOUR SENSES

The properties of rice in a bowl, has similar properties to a high-density fluid, which forms pressure to the hand. This pressure promotes "venous return" (the flow of blood back to the heart), which makes people feel physiologically comfortable.

10. WEIGHTED BLANKET

Our body feels safe and satisfied when it is wrapped. The “immersive” pressure makes us satisfied. Freud once said, "Everyone wants to go back to the uterus and enjoy the compact/ tightness of being wrapped”. The moderate pressure and touch can bring pleasure.

11. FIDGET TOYS

Probably you will see people bouncing their legs up and down, turning pens over and over in their hands, chewing on things, sucking on their lower lips and probably you’re doing it too!

All seemingly completely unconscious. Fidget toys are self-regulation tools to help with focus, attention, calming, and active listening.
