Despite all the conveniences available to us in this
technologically advanced age, stress is still part of the overall scheme of our
lives. Luckily, stress management provides comfort and release from these
problems that tends to affect our physical, mental and emotional health.
What is Stress Management?
Stress management are tools, procedures and methods that
allows us to take control of our problems and make sure that they don't affect
our daily routine. Problems that leads to stress that are specific in nature have
different stress management techniques that can be applied to keep you in
balance and harmony.
Breathing exercises helps big time!
Our body tends to react during times of stress; irregular
breathing, sweating, aches and pains, slow metabolism and so on. Since these
are all physical in nature, we have to deal with it in a physical way. One
method is through breathing exercises which can affect your body in a profound
way. Simply speaking, these exercises controls the flow of oxygen in your body,
as well as its distribution to different parts of your anatomy.
One way to do this is to count your breathing. Breath slow
and deep, relax your stomach as you do so. Try to keep a rhythm and follow it
all throughout the duration of the exercise. With enough practice, you can
control your breathing instantly during times of stress which can help you
relax and alleviate some of the negative effects in your body.
Relax your mind with meditation
Meditation is great way to achieve stress management, which
deals more on the mental than in the physical. This is where the old adage
"Mind Over Body" kicks in. Meditation allows your mind to relax and
focus on a single thought and let others drift away to nothing.
