• Take a walk
Simply taking a walk helps manage stress. Get out and let your feet
take you somewhere. Apart from being great aerobic exercise, it gives
you the opportunity to clear your head and take a break from life’s
hectic situations.
• Take a hot bath
A hot bath sometimes acts as a surprise kick. It gives your body a
kicking sensation which in turn kicks your mind as well. Add a few
bubbles and a few candles to your bathroom to create that ultimate
soothing environment. It not only refreshes the body but also
replenishes the mood of a person.
• Call a friend.
We all have some people in our lives that can make us smile even in
tears. Someone whose voice alone sets the mood right. Give a ring to one
of your best friends and recall the good times that you have spent
together. Share a joke or a funny story or simply listen to what they
have got to say. This will most likely put a smile on your face. After
all, what are friends for?
• Listen to soft music
Music has the ability to combat stress. Listening to soft soothing
music helps relax the mind and body. It takes your mind away from stress
and slowly calms the nerves. Just tune up your IPod and listen to your
favourite music while you’re in your car or half an hour before going to
sleep.
• Meditation and yoga
Meditation and yoga work tremendously to get rid of stress. Take
deep breaths for few minutes. Hold one side of your nose and take a long
deep breath through the other. This is known as “KAPAL BHARTI” in
Ayurveda. Along with numerous health benefits, it helps to relieve
stress and tension from the body.
