WAYS TO EASE OUT STRESS The first and the foremost way to Stress Management is to CALM DOWN. To control immediately the psychological aspect or not to have the fear feeling may not be easy and therefore control the physical imbalance by controlling Adrenalin discharge. This will happen when you sit down and calm down,
Suppose you are feeling uneasy by a tight ring in your finger. You try hard to take it out but it does not. It becomes more tight. The trick is just to loosen your finger muscles and the ring slides out easily. Exactly the same way the moment you loosen your muscles and sit down calmly, your stress will slide out of your mind.
Unhide the culprit-Sit down and try to find out what is making you tense. As soon as you have established just why you feel the way you do, you will be less disturbed and more relaxed because the known is always less frightening than the unknown
Anticipate the problem & think of solution-Try to anticipate the problem which your anxiety state might give you and how you might deal with them. It will automatically ease you since the problem is not unknown now and so it will not take you by surprise and hence you will not panic.
Prepare for the worst-Although one suuld always hope for the best, yet you consider the worst consequence and prepare yourself for it. Once you are prepared for the worst results nothing in this world can trouble you and disturb you. And remember no calamity is going 10 fall on you.
Control your anger-"No one could have everything done the way he wanted. And so why I should be neurotic to insist on having my own way. Learn to auto-suggest yourself with these sentences and control your anger which otherwise will cause you frustration and stress.
“A stitch in time saves nine"--Because a joh is not done when it ought to have been, it requires undue urgency causing haste, which in turn gives rise to stress. Just by planning a little bit and completing the work in time (Learn TIME MANAGEMENT if you do not find time) will save you from a big amount of stress. Start BIT by BIT and do it DAY by DAY.
Last Resort-If everything else fail, or you cannot apply them to you then, sit down and start thinking of a happy moment you had anytime in the past and SMILE. Your muscles will loosen, heart beat regularise. It will calm down the nervousness, which will control the hormone secretion and the result-stress will go.
