Stress control the easy way.

Count to 10.

This is what some mothers tell their kidsand is works if they are angry.

Next time you feel stressed or recognise the early signs of it, count to ten. It does not matter if you do it loudly or quietly.

Sometimes this is all you need for simple stress or if you recognise it early.

Some people prefer to count down from ten to zero. This way it feels as if you are scaling down stress and at zero, it is gone.

 

Inhale deeply.

Take a long slow deep breath. Through your nostrils slowly breathe in and fill your lungs completely. Exhale through your mouth slowly after holding your breath to the count of four.

As you continue to do this a few times, you will notice as your breathing becoming slower, you feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed. Like counting, this is a quick and easy stress controller.

Furthermore, you can, as you breathe in and hold your breath visualise all the stress in your body slowly diffusing into your lungs and when you breathe out, you are slowly expelling the stress leaving you more relaxed and calm.

You can also use a stress relief squeez ball.

 

Get up and walk about.

This is a good way to gain stress relief quickly.

If what you are doing is becoming very stressful, get up and walk away from it. I do not mean walk away from it for good. You are removing the problem temporarily. You now have time to calm down and come to grips with the situation.

By doing this you are removing a stressful problem from the forefront of your mind and allow your Subconscious Mind to find solution options. Stanley Morgan, the eponymous financier, when he could not find a solution to a problem, would stop what he was doing and play solitaire. After a while several ideas come forwards in his mind.

You can go for a walk especially in the park. There is something relaxing when you are near to nature. You tend to synchronise with the earth’s frequency. Your brainwave drops to this frequency for peace and tranquillity. You become relaxed and calm. You can get the vacuum cleaner out and clean the house. From your mind you are removing the problem. When you do this, you will notice a different feeling and approach to your task.

In addition exercise relieves stress.

It is recognised that exercise reduces stress.

 

Talk to someone or write a journal.

This is a good stress buster. You are sharing your problem by talking to someone. If that someone is experienced in your field, you may get some invaluable tips. A wider approach to your problem develops. It may feel, by sharing your problem, you are no longer isolated. You are not alone.

There is no better stress buster than a simple thought or idea in your mind that will lead to the solution to your problem. Suddenly you become energised and focussed because you can now see success as the only outcome. Your stress will changes to the desired stress that produces peak performance.

Writing a journal is also a good stress buster. It highlights the specific items that stress you. Transferring it into words on paper means you can either keep or discard. It releases the stress. If you have no one to talk to or you are alone with a stressful problem, put it in your stress journal. Ink on paper is the next best thing.
