What is Stress? A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.
How you do manage stress? Take a time-out. Practice yoga, listen to music, meditate, get a massage, or learn relaxation techniques. Stepping back from the problem helps clear your head. Eat well-balanced meals. Do not skip any meals. Do keep healthful, energy-boosting snacks on hand. Limit alcohol and caffeine, which can aggravate anxiety and trigger panic attacks. Get enough sleep. When stressed, your body needs additional sleep and rest. Exercise daily to help you feel good and maintain your health. Take deep breaths. Inhale and exhale slowly. Count to 10 slowly. Repeat, and count to 20 if necessary. Do your best. Instead of aiming for perfection, which isn't possible, be proud of however close you get. Accept that you cannot control everything. Put your stress in perspective: Is it really as bad as you think? Welcome humor. A good laugh goes a long way. Maintain a positive attitude. Make an effort to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Talk to someone. Tell friends and family you re feeling overwhelmed, and let them know how they can help you. Talk to a physician or therapist for professional help.
How does YOGA help with stress? According to the American Yoga Association (AYA): To reduce stress in the body, breath, and mind do so by building coping skills with a small daily routine of exercise, breathing, and relaxation. A few Yoga exercises practiced daily (especially if they are done just prior to relaxation) help to regulate the breath and relax the body by gently releasing tension from the large muscle groups, flushing all parts of the body and brain with fresh blood, oxygen, and other nutrients, and increasing feelings of well-being.
