Last time I talked about stress, and
so let's stay with that topic for another
round.
I mentioned "breathe" as one remedy, and
I know that you may have rolled your eyes
at that.
Yeah, sure, you may think.
I mean it though. Breathing oxygenates
the body, and it helps relax that whole
chest area etc.
The interesting thing is that one of the
best remedies for stress is intense
exercise.
That seems a bit ironic, doesn't it.
But it works. Go for a run, or go to
the gym, or a hard swim, and when you're
done, you may well have forgotten all
about the stress.
And guess what you were doing while you
were exercising? You guessed it!
BREATHE
Coincidence? I think not.
Also, the exercise helps process all those
fight and flight hormones that are flooding
your system when you get stressed. So that
helps as well.
Other things:
Thinking games! And now don't laugh, please.
Gratitude lists (I'm quite serious.
Stress doesn't have a chance if you spend
some real quality time listing all the things
you're grateful for).
You can also focus in the following question:
What do I want?
And project/think about what it is that you'd
like to happen in the situation.
That too helps get your mind off whatever is
stressing you and helps things go so much
more smoothly.
If you think a beer helps, you're right.
But it's not necessarily because of the
alcohol, though in certain doses that can
help as well. But no. It's the hops, a
plant that has calming function.
In fact, you'll find hops in sleeping pills.
Just take a look at your local health food
store!
Then, there's that hot bath, with a nice
cup of green tea (with L-Theanine, another
calming substance, right built-in).
Or some lavender aromatherapy.
Hope this helps. I'll write about
a major extremely powerful technique
next time.
All best,
Elisabeth
