Here are some simple practices have helped individuals overcome stressful times, both short-term and long-term
1. Gratitude and appreciation
Doing this means expressing gratitude and appreciating others, which helps reduce the effect of stress on both your mental and physical health.
Tasks which cause stress can be structured to highlight the benefits of the task.
2. Movement and exercise
It’s no surprise that movement and exercise decreases stress, but how do we get the time? If you can’t make the gym, consider walking or swimming for your daily exercise.
Also, try to get up every half-an-hour and do a couple of stretches to help you to relax.
3. Rest and sleep
Rest and sleep are the key ingredients for wellbeing and decreasing stress.
For best results, aim to get 7 hours of sleep and to ensure that you are away from your device for at least one hour before bedtime.
4. Stress Management Techniques
There is a wide variety of cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT), which include mindfulness, meditation and using imagination.
The goal is to change your thought patterns so that you are more calm and in control of your stress levels.
Relaxation techniques can also include massage, music, art, progressive muscle relaxation and more.
At the end of your therapy session, you will also learn to recognize and better manage stressful situations.
5. Working with a therapist
You can choose to have a short-term or long-term therapy, depending on your needs.
If you’re just beginning, a one-off assessment will determine what type of therapy would work best for you. If you’re in need of ongoing help, the NHS have a number of therapists offering different therapies.
