How to reduce stress?

Let’s look at 9 things we can do to reduce stress instantly:

1.    Tell me, do you like the sounds of nature?
Oh, you do?!
I love it too — especially lakes.
I grew up a few kilometers from one of the most beautiful lakes on earth.
What like?
Lake Carezza!
Check it out on Google!
Anyway, when you feel stressed, do this:
→    Spend a few minutes listening to sounds of nature, like lakes and forests.

2.    Breathing is underrated! Agree?
So, when you feel stressed, try this:

It’s really basic, but it can help a lot.

3.    I’m a huge fan of simplicity and minimalism.
Why?
Well, for many reasons, but here’s one:
→    It helps us consume less mental energy, so we feel less stressed.
So, when you feel stressed, try this:
→    Organize your desk and remove everything you don’t need right now.

4.    Do you know that the green and blue of nature are anti-stress?
Yup! You got it right!
So, when you feel stressed, try this:
→    Look at pictures of natural scenery that include green and blue.
Just a couple of minutes.
Of course, if you can look at nature out of the window, even better.

5.    Do you meditate?
Meditation is a great tool to reduce stress, right?
So, next time you feel stressed, try this:
→    Meditate and maintain good posture throughout
Good posture and wellbeing go hand in hand.
Also, it helps boost confidence and energy within minutes.




6.    I’m not a big fan of stretching.
In reality, I’ve always hated it — since when I was an athlete 🙂
But if you feel stressed, you can try this:
→    Stretch your body for a few minutes and give yourself a gentle massage.

7.    Writing is a powerful tool for stress management, right?

It’s like an active meditation!

9.    Do you like herbal tea?
While we wait for Purple Tea from Kenya (a new trend), let’s try this:
→    Sip a soothing cup of herbal tea like chamomile or lavender
I mean, when you feel stressed.
But also every day, if you want.
