10 ways to
beat stress
As we are talking about Health in class at
the moment I was thinking about a good topic to blog about. As every student
has their own health related problems I found one thing that every person has
to struggle with now and then –stress!
Now I will explain you 5 good ways to reduce
stress in your life [if there is any ;)
]
Too much work, and too less time for sleep:
In the long run physical and mental stress can be very unhealthy. A person, who
is permanently stressed, has problems like: headaches, dizziness, anxiety and
difficulties in concentration.
To avoid such consequences it is important
to fight against stress sufficiently
early.
Now I will disclose you the best 5 anti-stress-tips:
· -
Pedometer for more movement!
Sport is the best way to
work off stress and to cater for welfare. Recommendable
are sports like Jogging, swimming or rowing. Someone who needs a particular
motivation can try to use a pedometer. This device counts every step that the
person takes. ( 5.000 steps per day are enough to feel better)
· -
Time for yourself!
A person who is
permanently stressed takes no time for him/herself. It´s about time to change something. Think about the last few weeks and find out what you really neglected.
It doesn´t matter if you just wanted to read a book or if you wanted to do
something more exciting like a balloon flight. Take time for yourself and try
to switch of your sense
of duty- at least for a
moment!
· -
Waive on Smartphones & Co.
Modern devices can
actually make life easier for some people but often it causes stress. The
problem: You can be permanently contacted by phone! If you are stressed, switch
off your phone for the next 24 hours and feel the difference. If that situation
is too extreme, just switch it off for the next few hours.
· -
Laughing is healthy!
Laughing is one of the
best methods to reduce stress. It helps to liberate happiness hormones such as
Serotonin.
· -
Enough sleep!
If someone is stressed,
people don´t have enough sleep or at least the sleeping quality is poor. A sleep deficit leads to the release from the
stress hormone Cortisol. If your body has enough sleep, you will feel good.
