How to remove stress

 How to relieve stress Tension

 We all deal with it. Whether it stems from our work, our family life, drama with friends, a relationship problem or finances, stress is there. Although a little stress is good for you, excessive and chronic stress is harmful to grow physically and mentally. Prolonged stress can even lead to stress headaches and other health problems that limit your functioning at work, at school and in your relationships. 

 Instead of letting stress take over your life, try some stress management methods that you can apply to prevent and manage stress before it endangers your health.

[1]Be aware that tension begins with our perceptions. Your body responds very effectively to dangerous events that trigger your 'fight-or-flight' reaction, allowing you to jump out of the way of an oncoming car and save your life. 

[2] This reaction causes your heart to beat, your pulse to accelerate and your muscles to tense. But you may also subconsciously realize that this response is necessary for non-life-threatening situations, such as traffic jams, impending deadlines, or family issues. 

[3] You need to learn ways to counteract the stress response of your body so that you can "brake" and relax your body.

[4] Identify types of thinking that causes  stress. 

[5] You may experience unproductive, negative thoughts that lead to anxiety, which can cause the release of stress hormones.

[6] This is a response that is appropriate if, for example, you end up in a stressful situation, such as a bear on your way, but may not be suitable if the traffic makes you work. Identify common stressful thoughts by noting .

[7] "Must" or "Not" statements: You have a strict list of things to do "must", "must" or "not", and feel stressed or anxious .

[8] Catastrophizing : you expect the worst case scenario or blow things out of proportion. Even small problems are "terrible" or a "disaster". Think all or nothing: you see things only in black or white, as good or bad. Instead of acknowledging the complexity (or 'gray areas') of being human, things are wrong or right and there is no middle ground. "What if" ing: You find an internal conversation about things you fear, such as "What if my child was hurt?" "What if I fail?" "What if I'm late?" and so on.

Review your thoughts again.

Pessimism, for example, is an excellent example of the avoidable tension we are experiencing. Concentrate on the positive instead of focusing on the negative and problems that are causing your anxiety.

[9] Negative thoughts lead to a negative state of mind and positive thoughts lead to a positive state of mind. Take note of your thoughts if you are disappointed. What did you tell yourself? 

 Turn negative into positive. For example, you might think to yourself, "I will never finish all my work." Change this thought by turning it: "If I work at a steady pace and take regular breaks, I can knock it out within __ hours." If you change your mind, you can completely change your tension.See things in a positive light, and avoid cynicism as much as you can.

Challenge your negative thoughts. Another way to combat stressful thoughts is to ask yourself if there really is truth to them. Disputing and refuting your thoughts can help you to view your thoughts objectively, instead of immediately accepting them as truth.

[10]Try writing down two categories of information about the problem that is affecting you. Make one column for evidence of / for the stressful thought and another for evidence against it. Or, if you do not have the paper or time, try to do this exercise spiritually. 

Write the evidence in the appropriate column. So if you catastrophe because you're too late (and you think ‘I get fired’), your ‘for’ column might look like, ‘I was twice late last week and they were not going to tolerate me being late again; "while you may look" against "column: 'My boss said he understands I have to drop my son off at nursery school before I can drive to work,' 'We have a time and attendance policy that leaves me late number of times, and I'm nowhere near that point, "and so on.

Keep a journal. Although a journal entry may seem strange or boring, keeping your mind down regularly can help you to keep it stress-free. Write about it in your journal if you feel trapped with some sort of emotional or mental stressor. When you put it out on paper, it gives you a feeling of relief that you would not otherwise find.

[11] Write honestly and without fear. Your journal is just for you: no one else needs to read it or see what your stress is. It is a safe, judgment-free place to dispel all your worries, emotions, thoughts and feelings. 

[12] Once your mind is on paper, it no longer takes up space in your brain. Magazine can help you experience clarity and see the source of your stress. To organize your thoughts write your feelings . If your mind is not organized, you can not think clearly, leading to confusion and tension. If you have a problem and can not decide between two solutions, make a list of pros and cons with two columns (front and back), such as dividing a sheet of paper in the middle to compare two ways to handle the situation.
