In the days we live in, the handiest anti-stress methods are often overlooked. to move etc. It is almost impossible not to find 30 seconds to follow these anti-stress tricks.

Realize you're stressed!

Stress is so present in our lives that we have learned to live with it. We behave like fish that don't realize they're in the water. Everyone reacts differently to stimuli, so the first step in treating stress is to find out for yourself if you are tense, nervous, moody, thoughtful, etc.

If you become conscious of your state, you can control your stress level and behavior.

Say motivational sentences

Repeat a strong, motivational statement for 30 seconds. If it's a short sentence, for example, "I'm strong!" or "I'm not going to get mad", you will realize that you can repeat it many times in just 30 seconds. The effect is guaranteed

Stretching

Stand up, lie down, raise your arms to the sky and imagine touching the clouds or stars for 30 seconds. You will relax your tense muscles, but also your nerves.

Smile often

With a smile, hundreds of muscles relax and stress and tension are removed from the body. It would be good to find a 30-second break more often, but even once you try it you will start to like it.

Moisturize

Your brain is about 75% water. And it is not the only organ whose functioning depends directly on the water supply. The whole body needs water to cope with a normal day.

A bottle of water a day keeps the stress away.

Close your eyes

Take a break and allow your body to relax for 30 seconds. Close your eyes, cover your ears with your hands and disconnect from everyday reality. Think about the sea and imagine how you heard it when you were a child and held a shell to your ear.

Dance

Put your headphones on and listen to your favorite song for 30 seconds. Also, try some dance moves. You will relax your numb body and you will feel good.

Do nothing

Stop, just sit still and stare blankly. Look out the window or even at the ceiling. But don't do anything. Don't think about anything, neither the office problems nor the problems at home. Forget everything, for 30 seconds.

Make fun of trouble!

Once you have decided that you are stressed and have discovered the cause, you would do well to find the humor of the situation. And if you see no reason to make fun of trouble, then imagine a funny situation. The purpose of this step is to relax a little. You don't have to smile literally, at least in the soul to smile.

Take a deep breath!

All relaxation methods start with this. A big, strong breath of air. Remember the breathing exercises from physical education: inhale - raise your hands in the air, take a deep breath, exhale, breathe hard, bend down and bring your hands down.

Breathing exercises help you keep the stress level low.

Say something that relaxes you!

"Calm down!", "Peace!", "Calm down!", "I'm Zen!", Any phrase that will make you forget the agitation. Try all the word combinations that come to mind until you find the "magic" formula and use it whenever you need it.

Relax your muscles!

Usually, in stressful situations, you also have tense muscles. Try to relax them too. Remember the sports classes again, when after an exercise, you shake your hands and feet to relax them.

You can use these relaxation exercises as many times as you need, at any time of the day. Even if you forget one of the steps, it doesn't matter. Go on, just do an exercise against stress. It doesn't make sense to stress even more because you missed a stage.
