Make yourself stress-free!

We have to accept that stress is part of our lives. However, this does not mean that we put up with this and let the tension and then the physical illness that results from it go away. As we develop our self-knowledge, we need to find what can turn it off. We need to find a way to help turn off the thoughts swirling in our brains, but even to drive out the “evil” with physical exertion.

Stress puts you in a state that affects the whole body. It is logical that living in this condition all the time is very harmful. We can mantra to ourselves, "Calm down!" and “Don’t stress!” but if we can’t eliminate the cause itself, we need to be careful to deal with it.

We cannot offer a personalized solution in terms of stress management, but meditation, the use of breathing techniques, sports, any kind of movement, finding and immersing in a hobby can help divert the thought, and good results can be achieved by tiring the body. While playing sports means a faster pace of walking or cycling that requires neither help nor instruction on how to do it, not everyone can practice meditation alone. Guided meditations are very good because there is someone to help us get started. And even if you navigate competently in meditation, you may not succeed immediately.

If, however, we would start something alone with a condition that we know is not good, harmful, but we want to turn around a little, we can try this little “gymnastics” that can be done at home.

Let's find a more spacious space for ourselves. It doesn’t hurt to have a wall surface near us that we can lean on because we might need it. Dress comfortably so that your clothes do not get frustrated. All we have to do is stop at the chosen place on two legs and then lift one up. It is not quite common for us to stand on one foot alone, so some surface that we can hold on to comes in handy. Let’s focus on keeping the one-legged pose. At first, it can be downright uncomfortable because we are constantly looking for our balance, fitting and rocking.

This is exactly when we focus on ourselves and not on our problems. If the one-legged pose is more stable, we can also close our eyes in the heavier version. It doesn’t matter if it only works with reliance. Once you have that, pay attention to your buttocks, your abdomen, because these need to be tightened. Another strain on the brain that doesn’t allow us to pay attention to anything else. It’s unbelievable that this one-on-one, half-legged strain can exhaust a person, yet can turn off the mind. Plus, this easy little task can be done at work and is an excellent stress reliever.
