One thing that can never be avoided in life is stress. Whatever you do, whether you’re a working person or a stay-at-home parent, the struggle continues. Everyday life throws lots of stress and anxiety your way.
It’s okay if you cannot avoid it. What you can do is learn to manage it. Yes, there are a number of stress busters that can help you keep stress and anxiety at bay. Let me highlight a few of them here so that you know what you need to do:
A Morning Run
First and foremost, you need to add running to your daily morning regime. There’s nothing better than starting your day with a morning run. It can lower your stress levels, increase your energy levels, and uplift your mood.
Not to mention, it can also help you stay in good shape. When you’re in great shape physically, it naturally keeps your confidence boosted. High confidence levels mean lower stress and anxiety levels.
Psychedelic Snacks
Contrary to many infamous stories, several psychedelics are safer than allopathic stress-relief medications. As a matter of fact, antidepressants significantly damage your digestive system and liver.
Well, it’s quite the opposite with psychedelics. You can have psychedelics in the form of snacks once in a while and let loose. It would be a great break from your worries. I usually prefer shroom chocolate bars when it comes to relaxing physically and mentally. You should try them, too.
Mindfulness-Based Yoga
It’s one thing to perform yoga but practicing mindfulness in yoga is a whole nother story. It is the best way to keep stress and anxiety away. It does not just relieve physical tension by loosening up your muscles but also eliminates mental exhaustion.
Simply breathe in and out when performing yoga and make sure to focus on one thought or object. It will help you stay in the moment while treating stress and anxiety from its root cause, which is typically overthinking.
Baking
One of the most rewarding activities is baking. It gives you a sense of achievement and instant gratification. Thus, whenever you’re stressed, you should turn to baking. Take out your old recipe books and enjoy baking.
It is like hitting two birds with one stone. It can relieve your stress and anxiety as well as teach you some new recipes. Once you’re done learning something new, you can host a brunch at home and bake delicious desserts for your friends and family.
Laugh Out Loud
Last but not least, learn to laugh it off. Do you know laughing activates all your facial muscles, taking your attention away from the things that stress you? It also releases oxytocin in your brain, which is a hormone for pleasure and happiness.
The more you laugh, the lighter you feel. Suffice it to say, it’s the best antidote to persistent stress and anxiety. You can either read a comic book or watch a funny video,
whatever works for you.
Remember that nothing is difficult if you work for it. Make sure to follow the stress busters mentioned above and I’m confident they will help you remain calm and go far
in life. I wish you good luck, my friends!
