Bottling things up is one of the worst things we can do, as it creates a volatile build-up of emotions that may explode anytime. Make a conscious effort to release stress regularly.
Prioritise
Determine which areas in your life are really important.
Simplify
Do not complicate your life. Simplify wherever possible.
Share
It is great to share responsibility and ask for help.
Communicate
Talking through problems is a great stress buster.
Slow down
Don't be hard on yourself. Do things that are meaningful.
Rest
Sleep and rest are rejuvenating.
Eat sensibly
A balanced diet makes you feel good and provides you with energy.
Exercise regularly
Any physical activity, be it yoga, breathing techniques, stretching exercises, running or martial arts - can help release stress. Exercise triggers the release of endorphins, which are hormones that produce a sense of well-being and reduce stress.
Accentuate the positive
Positive thinking and an optimistic outlook is demonstrating your skills to their best advantage while you stay calm and focused. A fundamental prerequisite for viewing the world positively is to feel good about yourself.
Use positive affirmations
- I can do this.
- I am calm, centred and strong.
- As I master this experience, I am getting stronger.
- I am doing my best, and my best is very good.
