6 Top Ways to Reduce and cope up with your Stress and Tension
It might be quite surprising for you that often Stress is held responsible for various issues in life including many others but it is not a long back discovery. In initial days of science, it was not even considered a symptom or a cause of worry but in late 50s, it was discovered that stress has serious implications. So here, we get you through some of the ways to reduce stress and anxiety with simple yet effective and quick techniques. Have a Cup of tea A large cup of caffeine causes a short-term spike in blood pressure. It may also cause your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to go into overdrive. Instead of coffee or a variety of energy drinks, give a try to green tea. It has less than half the caffeine of coffee and contains healthy antioxidants along with theanine, an amino acid that has a calming effect on the nervous system. Meditate The practice of inward-focused thought and deep breathing has been shown to reduce heart disease risk factors such as high blood pressure. Meditation combined with regular yoga and a simple chant, can relax the mind and body to an instance of relief and blissful state. Laughter Laughter releases endorphins that improves mood and decreases levels of the stress-causing hormones named cortisol and adrenaline. Laughing tricks your nervous system into making you happy. Exercise and Yoga A short walk around the house or simply standing up to stretch during a break at work can offer immediate relief in a stressful situation. Just have a look around yourself and get to the fitness regime which can make you feel relieved, even go with your favourite music played in the background or maybe a friend along with. Getting your blood moving releases endorphins and can improve your mood almost instantaneously. Sleep better Stress can cause you to lose sleep. Unfortunately, lack of sleep is also a key cause of stress. This problematic cycle causes the brain and body to get out of sync and only gets worse as time passes by. Make sure to get seven to eight hours of sleep. Turn the TV off a bit earlier than usual, dim the lights, and give yourself time to relax before going to bed. It is the most effective stress buster out there. Think that something better is yet to Come No one managing his or her own life is devoid of stress, and too much can lead to excessive worry, nervousness, dread, upset stomach or even difficulty with breathing. The first step to overcome negative feelings is to recognise that you are experiencing a very common emotional state most commonly identified as anxiety. Although it’s uncomfortable, these feelings will pass. Fighting the anxiety can just make you stronger and helps to activate the body’s natural relaxation response. Hopefully, these ways in one way or the other help your lives transform at an ease and if they already are at ease, make yourself more calm and composed in terms of situation handling and management. Breathing technique is one of the most effective ones and scientifically proven to have a positive energy effect inside human body and mind which in turn effects the tuning of happiness hormones increasing the productivity of an individual to a capacity one is capable of, in his or her actual life which was hidden somewhere in the past. This simple tuning of mind can make your life more positive, enthusiastic and aura filled to help you and others around you to consume maximum happiness out of life which is nowadays typical for any individual to encounter. Have something worthy to live for, that is, smiles and happiness.

Confidence is the best sugar for life
I often hear such a compliment-"You are in a good state recently". Before high school, I was a silly kid who couldn't let go of a hypocritical fart. I was surprisingly fat at the time. I probably didn't care about it. I only knew that my parents gave the school money, and I was going to eat it back. At that time, the school was a big pot of rice. At the beginning of the school, I was richer and cared more about reputation. Therefore, the food was good. I would get a few catties on my home almost every week, probably because I ate a lot. If you can firmly control your height at 5-10 cm per academic year, you will not be considered a short in Shandong. But it has to be said that it is difficult for a tall and fat person to be "little birds and obedient people." Fortunately, the learning atmosphere in the class is strong, and there is almost nothing to care about except for learning.

Self-Compassion
In society for the past few years we have seen a push towards self-care. I myself even cheekily implemented Self-care Sunday at one point. But as I've watched the self-care train unfold over the years I have realized more and more that this is not a train I want to be on.
