How do the stress can be decreased?

-


1. Avoid Caffeine, Alcohol, and Nicotine.

Avoid, or at least reduce, your consumption of nicotine and any drinks containing caffeine and alcohol. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and so will increase your level of stress rather than reduce it.Alcohol is a depressant when taken in large quantities, but acts as a stimulant in smaller quantities. Therefore using alcohol as a way to alleviate stress is not ultimately helpful.

2. Indulge in Physical Activity

Stressful situations increase the level of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol in your body.

3. Get More Sleep

A lack of sleep is a significant cause of stress. Unfortunately though, stress also interrupts our sleep as thoughts keep whirling through our heads, stoppilaxing enough to fall asleep.

4. Try Relaxation Techniques

Each day, try to relax with a stress reduction technique.  There are many tried and tested ways to reduce stress so try a few and see what works best for you.

5. Talk to Someone

Just talking to someone about how you feel can be helpful.Talking can work by either distracting you from your stressful thoughts or releasing some of the built-up tension by discussing it

6. Keep a Stress Diary

Keeping a stress diary for a few weeks is an effective stress management tool as it will help you become more aware of the situations which cause you to become stressed.

7. Take Control

Stress can be triggered by a problem that may on the surface seem impossible to solve. Learning how to find solutions to your problems will help you feel more in control thereby lowering your level of stress.

8. Manage Your Time

At times, we all feel overburdened by our 'To Do' list and this is a common cause of stress. Accept that you can not do everything at once and start to prioritise and diarise your tasks.

9. Learn to Say ‘No’

A common cause of stress is having too much to do and too little time in which to do it.  And yet in this situation, many people will still agree to take on additional responsibility.  Learning to say “No” to additional or unimportant requests will help to reduce your level of stress, and may also help you develop more self-confidence.

10. Rest If You Are Ill
If you are feeling unwell, do not feel that you have to carry on regardless. A short spell of rest will enable the body to recover faster.

Abs exercise Hardstyle plank Get into an  elbow plank position , with your elbows directly under your shoulders. Face the palms of your hands inwards with fists clenched. Keep your feet together. Brace your abs as though expecting a punch in the stomach. Squeeze your glutes like you're pinching a coin between them. Tighten your quads as though pulling up your kneecaps. Once in the position, you can ask a friend to try to nudge you in different directions to test your tension and stability. Hold for 10 to 30 seconds, remembering to breathe and keep your muscles engaged the whole time. To make this plank into a quick core workout, Lisa recommended holding the plank for 10 seconds, then resting for five. Repeat for six rounds. Tip You know planks, right? It’s easy to go through the motions here. Don’t do it. “The key is to squeeze your entire body—quads, glutes, core, back, and fists—as tight as possible while taking diaphoretic breathes throughout the hold,” say...
