With the development of society, the pressure on men is also increasing. Faced with enormous pressure, many male friends have already contracted some occupational diseases, which have serious consequences for men's physical and mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to seek ways to alleviate stress in daily life. So what are some good ways to relieve stress? Let's take a look together:
Essential Tips for Relieving Stress in Male Health Preservation
Sit still and rest
Sit quietly for 5-10 minutes a day, focusing on your feelings. When you sit still, your heart rate slows down, blood pressure drops, and symptoms of mental stress significantly improve.
Laugh loudly
Have something to laugh about, such as a joke collection, or watch comedy movies. When you laugh from the bottom of your heart, the hormones cortisone and adrenaline that cause tension in your body will decrease, and your immune system will be enhanced. This effect can last for 24 hours. A group of volunteers immediately improved their mood after being notified to watch comics.
Listening to music
If you are facing an urgent task, listen to light music first. If the workplace does not have the conditions to play music, you can bring a small radio or a tape recorder with headphones when leaving home. Australia conducted an experiment in which two groups of college students were asked to prepare reports. One group is very quiet at work, while the other group plays music. The results showed that college students who quietly prepared their reports had elevated blood pressure and accelerated pulse, while students who worked while listening to music had stable blood pressure and pulse.
Think about good things more
Find some time, even if it's 15 seconds or 5 minutes, and focus on thinking about people or things that are dear to you. You can also imagine a scene of 'quiet vacation'. We often feel mentally burdened because we cannot get rid of negative emotions such as dissatisfaction, grievance, and worry. If we want to make people you like and things that make you happy, the effect will be completely different.
Walking and walking
Stand out from the table or sofa, even if you walk for 10 minutes. Experts have confirmed that walking helps people calm down. It has been observed that a group of volunteers are responsible for taking care of elderly people with mental disabilities, which is a very stressful task. Among the volunteers, those who insist on taking a walk four times a week are not very worried and restless, their sleep is much better, and their blood pressure often remains normal. So, when you feel nervous, walking for 5 to 10 minutes will have a noticeable effect.
Slow down breathing
Slow down your breathing for 5 minutes, this method is very effective. Usually, when tense, breathing is fast and shallow, and a few deep breaths can relax muscles. When doing yoga, breathing slows down, but if you don't even have this time, experts suggest drawing a black dot on your watch or alarm clock. When your gaze falls on the black dot, take 2-3 deep breaths and you will calm down.
Wake up easily
Before going to bed at night or after the alarm goes off in the morning, lie in bed for 5 minutes to relax your whole body. When lying down and sleeping, always thinking about daytime issues can affect your ability to sleep well; When you wake up in the morning, be tight and don't feel relaxed for the rest of the day. The method of relaxation is to first tighten the toes, gradually relax, and then move on to the soles of the feet, calves, thighs, buttocks... until the upper body and facial muscles. You will find that after your whole body relaxes, your spirit will also relax accordingly.
Reducing stress is very important for men. They not only face work pressure but also life pressure every day. As a pillar of their family, men must learn to reduce stress in order to make themselves healthier.
