We are in a world of high pressure and suffering a lot from the stress. We can't always remove pressure, but we can create for ourselves simple and effective strategies on how to deal with it.
01
Anchor Yourself with Mini-Mindfulness Breaks
- You don't always have to seat yourself down for an elaborate meditation session, in order to quiet your mind. "Anchoring" oneself in the present moment can be achieved in under one minute when done regularly. By drawing your attention back to the here and now. Observe five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell and one thing you can taste. This simple activity shifts your attention away from anxious thoughts and into what is physically present for you now.
02
Move Your Body to Release Mental Tension
- When we feel stressed, the adrenaline will come to our body and prepare for the physical activity. When that doesn't occur, the tension remains inside your body. Short spells of physical movement are the most direct way to metabolize and excrete these chemicals. You don't need a gym; a five-minute walk up the stairs and down again, some gentle stretching while sitting at your desk, or even an instant tidying of one's immediate environment all trigger the release of endorphins, our natural mood elevators. And this transforms the energy-of-stress into positive physical action.
03
Master the "Two-Minute Rule" and Digital Boundaries
- One of the biggest drivers of stress is a mind that's filled with all kinds of things, lots of which are unfinished and hanging over us. If there is a task that would cause stress and can be done in less than two minutes, do it immediately. This keeps many of the smaller concerns from accumulating into a mountain; instead, they are molehills. You'll also need to set some digital bounds. Schedule when you will check e-mail and surf the Web, rather than being always connected. This control over where you send your attention can also be its own kind of antidote to becoming overwhelmed.
Conclusion
Generally speaking, effective stress management isn’t about finding one magic coping strategy that will bring peace and calm. Slowly but surely introduce these tiny, proactive habits into your day.
