5 WAYS TO DEAL WITH STRESS

1. Active sports. Let's not question Aristotle's words "movement is life." In the case of training in a fitness club or extreme directions, this is a rich, bright, healthy life, full of new impressions and acquaintances. Each time, when faced with the choice “feel sorry for yourself or become a little more beautiful,” remember about endorphins, hormones of happiness: while you are lying on the couch, they are not synthesized.

2. Passive rest. It may seem that the second point contradicts the first. In fact, everything is good in moderation: physical activity should be alternated with rest. Olympic records are no less stressful for the body than progressive laziness. Choose any activity aimed at relaxation and synthesis of dopamine, the hormone of pleasure: yoga, massages and wraps, warm bath with sea salt.

3. Correct breathing. To breathe correctly, that is, breathe and forget about all the problems, you need to take into account two nuances. During stress, a person breathes through his chest, this is shallow breathing. Therefore, you need to breathe with your stomach. Imagine that you have a balloon in your abdomen that inflates when you inhale and deflates when you exhale. The second rule is to focus on the process: inhale deeply, exhale slowly.

4. Sleep. For one, five hours of sleep is enough, for another, ten. Only the necessary number of hours of rest guarantees vigor and clarity of thoughts. It is worth listening to yourself and adjusting the schedule to your needs, not yourself to the schedule.

5. Delicious food. The lack of free time threatens to eat according to the system "something and somehow". Set aside a day off for leisurely preparing breakfast, lunch or dinner. Don't overeat; focus on healthy recipes and beautifully presented dishes. Meat, milk, dried fruits and chocolate stimulate the production of the hormone of good mood, serotonin.
