Men are under a lot of pressure in the workplace and play an important role in the family. Therefore, male friends should learn to decompress and relax themselves. Here are six simple ways to decompress.
Six Ways to Reduce Workplace Stress
Give yourself a buffer:
Memorize your favorite lyrics, remember the names of at least 20 national capitals, or play poker for a while. It means giving the brain a fully engaged, easy challenge until you complete the game. Endless questions can only increase your stress.
Take a quick run:
Ride a bicycle violently, hitting the sack. Research from the University of Missouri has shown that half an hour of intense exercise can significantly reduce your stress levels compared to a slow pace. Also, it can last for 90 minutes.
Have a drink with a friend:
Spending time with friends can reduce your stress even more than going to a bar or coffee shop alone. A large group of people were chatting and drinking happily for a long time. Can you remember where the pressure was?
Perform a 20 second stress test:
Lie down with your left hand on your chest and your right hand under your belly. Each time you breathe, if your right hand rises first and then falls, you are breathing through the diaphragm, which is called deep breathing. If your left hand rises first, you are breathing through your chest, which is a pressure signal. Practice until you breathe properly.
Look more at green:
A study from Ohio shows that green scenery on the roadside can calm you down more than concrete high-rise buildings when driving. Choose a road with more trees and more parks, even if it's a bit far away.
Meditation:
The researchers found that 35 participants in "attentional contemplation" activities reduced psychological stress by% 44 within three months. All you have to do is sit quietly for 10 minutes every day, during which time focus only on breathing.
