A prolonged stressful state can lead a person to persistent apathy or prolonged depression, outbreaks of aggression and bitterness on people around him. Therefore, it must be disposed of by various methods as quickly as possible.
Stress is a common occurrence for people living in big cities in a vibrant life.
Psychologists are also prone to bouts of stress, melancholy, and depression. To solve these problems, they have several effective ways that other people are recommended to use.
Record any thoughts that come to mind
The author of this technique is a clinical psychologist. Its essence is to relieve stress by writing down your own thoughts about the world, contacts with people, and working ideas. This is a creative process that allows you to escape from problems and worries, the head becomes clean and clear, and the stress problem disappears.
Cooking with a pedantic approach to the process
Some psychologists or psychotherapists practice a non-standard way to get rid of stress - preparing a new dish from healthy and high-quality products. This includes not only the cooking process itself, but also shopping, an attentive selection of ingredients to buy, careful preparation and slow absorption of cooked food.
Tension of all facial muscles
Back in 1920, an effective method was developed - a progressive muscle relaxation system. It consists in alternating principles of tension and relaxation for 10 and 20 seconds, respectively. This technique includes about 200 exercises. To achieve the stated goal, it is enough to choose 15-20 of them for daily use until the stressful situation disappears completely.
The correct reaction to current events and the behavior of others
You can not only deal with the effects of stress, but also try to avoid it. To do this, you can make it a rule, in the event of a stressful situation, to inspire yourself that it is impossible to change the situation, but you can change your attitude to it. A calm or positive attitude allows you not to plunge into a stressful situation, consider what happened as experience.
Get rid of unnecessary thoughts
To stop the flow of negative thoughts, you can use a simple and effective exercise: clap your hands and say the words loudly: “Stop! I'll think about it later!”. Or get some kind of irritant, for example, an elastic band on the wrist, which will help switch consciousness.
Free time for a hobby
It can be any time period during the day when you can devote yourself to your favorite, new or interesting occupation: read a book, draw a picture, embroider a picture. As a rule, they rarely find time in the daily rush.
