How Can You Reduce Tension In Your Life?
May 2, 2008 |
In modern society, it is not unusual to be constantly feeling stressed. Tension in your life can get very high and if left to fester for a long period of time without doing anything about it, it could lead to more serious conditions like hypertension, high blood pressure or worst, depression.
How can you defuse or reduce the tension in your life right now?
Here are some tips which can give you much relief from a high strung life :
1. Take a deep breath and count to 10. Do not let your emotion overwhelm yourself and react. Often the reaction is not controlled and often destructive. If possible, practise breathing exercises regularly.
2. Identifying your cause of tension or stress. Carry a small notebook with you so that every time you feel stressed when a certain event/problem happen, jog the event down in that notebook. Write down your feelings and reactions to that event/problem in the notebook. At the end of the month, read back what happened and analyse it. Sometimes just through the act of writing down your feelings, it can serve as a release of tension, allowing you time to think over the event/problem and may provide a deeper insight to your problem. As a result, it may help you solve the problem.
3 . Keep items that you love around you. For example, your favorite picture eg. happy babies laughing, hanging on a wall near you so that whenever you feel tensed, you can look at the picture. Or have your favorite piece of music ready at hand so that you can listen to it whenever you feel stressed. My favorite is to have a piece of my favourite music playing softly in the background and soaking myself in a nice aromatic bath…
4. Call your close friends or relatives. Having a good listening ear is always great for releasing tension. Discussion of a problem with someone whom you trust and respect is helpful.
5. Exercise! Yes, one of the best way to release tension is to exercise. Many famous entreprenuers take some form of regular exercise like jogging or swimming as a form of relaxation and to keep them alert.
6. Having a pet. Keeping a dog or a cat has been shown to be relaxing and stress reducing for owners.
7. Do charity work. Do a good deed. Help someone in whatever little way you can. By helping someone, you are telling yourself that you are more fortunate and have the ability to overcome challenges that others cannot. Thus, being able to help someone is definitely PRICELESS… ( much more than having a mastercard…
)
