STRESS CANNOT BE AVOIDED.

STRESS IN LEARNING.


STRESS AT WORK.



Fortunately, you hae to worry no more because every problem has its solution. Lets practice these methods below in our lives to manage stress so that we can be more productive and live our life to the fullest.

Deep Breathing: When you're facing a stressful situation, you can reduce your stress simply by deep breathing. Deep breathing involves not only the lungs, but also the abdomen. To experience abdominal breathing, sit comfortably with your back straight. Put one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. Inhale through your nose and the hand on your stomach should begin to rise. Your other hand should move very little. Exhale as much air as you can while contracting your abdominal muscles. Once again, the hand on your stomach should move in as you exhale, but your other hand should move very little.





Progressive Relaxation: You can combine deep breathing with the controlled contracting and relaxing of muscles to achieve an additional level of relief from stress: To experience progressive relaxation, loosen your clothing and get comfortable. Tighten the muscles in your toes. Hold for a count of 10. Relax and enjoy the release of tensionFlex the muscles in your feet. Hold for a count of 10. Relax. Move slowly up through your body--legs, abdomen, back, neck, face--contracting and relaxing muscles as you go. Breathe deeply and slowly.








Meditation: When you meditate you bring together all of the mind's energies and focus them on a word, a sound, a symbol, a comforting image, or you.
r own breathing. People typically meditate sitting on the floor or in a chair with their eyes closed in a quiet, clean place. All meditation practices involve the development of mindfulness--being fully engaged in whatever is happening in the present moment, without analyzing or otherwise "over-thinking" the experience


Cardiovascular exercise: If you're trying to manage or relieve stress, you should try working up a sweat on a regular basis because vigorous exercise helps the mind as much as it benefits the body. You can start with as little as 15 minutes, twice a week. However, 20 to 60 minutes, five or more times a week is recommended for optimal stress management.
