The current situation has brought several things under the scanner, be it physical or mental health, we have many organisations that have started helping people dealing with the situation in a better way. One needs to understand the cause of their suffering before they can ask for help as it becomes easier for the other to understand the situation.
Try to immerse yourself in something productive that can also help your wellbeing without putting too much pressure on your health.
Deep Breathing
Whenever you feel that your body is finding it difficult to cope with the ongoing situation and you start breathing heavily or your heart beats rapidly. Stop and take it slow, try to concentrate on your breathing, deep breaths can activate your parasympathetic nervous system. It will eventually make you feel relaxed and peaceful.
Discuss with Family or Friends
It is always advisable to get more opinions on the matter from your loved ones, be it, family or friends. The much-needed talk can help you achieve peace with your inner self, as at times it’s just you who ends up overthinking or overemphasising on a particular topic.
Listen to Calming Tones
You can choose any of your favourite songs or a calming tone that might be beneficial for you to listen. Listening to the ocean or nature-related sounds can make you feel closer to nature and calmer at that moment.
Exercise
Exercising is the best way to go out of your stress as it is only and only beneficial to your body and mind. It shouldn’t always be something too tense just a brisk walk or stretching can be your thing. The release of endorphins can uplift your mood with an instant change in your thought process. Perform yoga as it is one of the best physical ways of releasing stress while incorporating good health.
Laugh It Out
You might have seen people in groups laughing loudly, they are not insane but have found their route to let out any stress built-up. Watch any lighthearted comedy movie to not just deviate your mind but engage it in a much positive manner. The release of endorphins helps not just with mood but boosts brain health with lowering the stress hormone.
It is easier for one to make decisions in a cool and composed mind rather than when one is under constant pressure. Have a well-balanced diet with a good amount of physical exercise to engage your mind and body positively.
Let the negativity out to let the positivity flow in!
