5 WAYS TO OVERCOME STRESS AND ANXIETY
Almost everyone will tell you that, at times life can be very stressful. Research and personal experience from most people have clearly demonstrated that depression and anxiety are closely tied to the level of stress that we are exposed to. There are many effective ways to reduce our stress in order to overcome feelings of depression and anxiety.
- Meditation is one of the best ways. There are many free meditations available on YouTube which are very helpful. Social support is another fundamental strategy to combat stress.
- Confide in a trusted friend. Sharing your worries, concerns, and/or feelings with another trustworthy person is often helpful in relieving stress. However, excessive sharing can aggravate stressful conditions. Think of it as “picking a scab over and over again,” and not letting the situation calm down and heal itself.
- Smiling and laughter have scientifically been proven to relieve tension and improve our mental health challenges situations. Laughter and smiling actually relax tense muscles in our faces and help the brain release helpful neurotransmitters that improve our ability to deal with stressful situations, anxiety, and depression.
- Exercise. Even a 15-minute walk has been shown to help people experience significant relief from anxiety and depression symptoms. Looking at a tree, feeling a breeze on your face, and sun exposure to the eye’s retina stimulate the release of neurotransmitters and endorphins which help elevate our mood.
- Take a break. Finally, remember to take a break from your stressful thinking. Even a 20-minute walk in the park is extremely helpful.
