There are many ways, methods and techniques that help relieve stress. Among them there are several options that do not require much time to complete. However, they are truly effective.
Tension - physical and mental - can accumulate for a long time inside, gradually declaring itself more and more, complicating life. In some cases, the voltage can roll a strong wave. This is especially true for any disturbing, exciting or unforeseen, stressful situations.
You can relieve excess tension with the help of a scream, but it is not always possible to scream in plenty so as not to attract other people's attention. Vigorous exercises are considered effective against the fight against mental and physical stress: push-ups, running, beating pears (or even pillows), other types of activity. However, this is also not always available. However, there are a few simple techniques that are really capable of quickly returning lightness, normalizing the general condition.
Fast self-massage
Performing stress massage is best, of course, in a relaxed atmosphere. However, to make it quickly and in the working environment is also possible. It will take no more than 10 minutes of time.
First you need to thoroughly grind, warm your hands so that your fingers are not cold. After that, gently but vigorously massage your face. You should start from below: run your fingers along the lower jaw, massage your cheeks, rising gradually higher and higher. At the time of self-massage, listen to yourself: do not try to intentionally control the movements of the fingers, close your eyes, let your hands find the right points themselves, the stimulation of which will help you quickly relax.
When doing self-massage from stress, pay special attention to the bridge of the nose, temples, and also do not forget about the ears and the area behind them. While doing this, breathe calmly, deeply and rhythmically. It is best to inhale through the nose, but it should be exhaled through the mouth, with lips folded in a tube or “pushing” air through gritted teeth.
Finish a quick massage by rubbing and tingling the back of the neck. If you feel that the residual tension has passed to the shoulders, then do 10-20 massage movements in this area of the body.
The technique of meaningless words
