The most effective way to relieve stress ranking

1. Take a deep breath

Okay, I know it's a cliché, but breathing exercises can really help regulate your emotions and naturally calm your body and mind. Dr. Li Qiaoru pointed out: "When breathing is shallow and rapid, it will stimulate the body's alertness. The brain will automatically adjust the release of stress hormones according to the body's alertness, and people will feel more nervous. And the shallower the breathing, the less oxygen is absorbed." Deep breathing is the best way to relieve stress, and this method is very simple. Just take a deep breath, expand your chest as you inhale, and then exhale slowly to expel the bad air from your body. Repeating this four times a day can relieve a lot of stress.

NO.2 Drink black tea

Although coffee has the effect of refreshing the mind, black tea is not much inferior. Research from University College London found that drinking black tea every day can help reduce stress in daily life, reduce stress hormone levels, and deeply relax the tense body and mind. No matter you are used to having a cup of milk tea, milk, or coffee in the afternoon, from the perspective of stress relief, choosing a cup of black tea is most beneficial to your body and mind.

NO.3 Get the hang of it

Do you have a lot of messy things waiting to be done in front of you? Don’t be in a hurry. Before doing anything, we need to make a task list, sort out all the things to be done, and then mark the important and unimportant items one by one. In this way, complete them one by one according to the importance of the situation, and cross out each item after completing it. Doing this can help you complete things in an organized manner, and also prevent you from feeling overwhelmed by too much work, which invisibly increases your stress.

No.4 Don’t complain

Dr. Scott said that when you face difficulties or challenges, you should think about how to better cope with and solve them, rather than just complaining about the unsatisfactory life and work. Psychologist St. Louis also pointed out that "if you always stay positive and meet challenges, you will be full of strength. If you complain and give up on yourself, then those challenges that are not terrible will become huge pressure and make you unable to breathe."

NO.5 Learn to use essential oils

A study in Thailand found that people who like to apply rose or ylang-ylang oil on their wrists are healthier than ordinary people. The reason is that the fragrance emitted by these essential oils will make their breathing even and their mentality peaceful, so these people will be calmer and more easily deal with things than others when they encounter things. In addition, essential oils have very strong permeability, which can help people regulate their mentality from the inside out and relieve stress.

NO.6 Improve your patience

But these repetitive household activities are good helpers in tempering character. These mindless tasks can help relieve tense thinking and keep you away from a racing mind. The key to this process is to concentrate and not have a lot of thoughts while doing housework. Otherwise, no matter how long you do housework, it will be useless.
