STRESSED ?
WRITE A JOURNAL
Writing down what is going inside your head is also a form of therapy. And also, do not forget to write all that you are grateful for. Gratitude helps you to look at the positive side of the picture.
CHEWING GUM
This might sound silly, but this helps. The waves in your brain are relaxed and your facial muscles are also relaxed. The blood supply brain is also increased.
SPENDING TIME WITH NEAR AND DEAR ONES
Social and moral support from friends and family is also helpful in stressful situations. Spending time with your loved ones promotes oxytocin and serotonin release which naturally helps in reducing stress and making you happy.
SAY NO TO PROCRASTINATION
Procrastination is the enemy of productivity. Keep yourself busy, make a to-do list, take action, have a healthy schedule. This will make you feel that you are being productive and you will eventually stop stressing.
REDUCING CAFFEINE INTAKE
Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and energy drinks when consumed in increased amounts can precipitate anxiety and stress. If you cannot stop having any of these, you can reduce your intake. This one worked for me.
