5 ways to quickly cope with stress

Sometimes it's useful to be nervous

Stress is not always harmful. Short-term stress stimulates immunity.

The change of the situation in such cases is no less beneficial, even if you just go into the next room or into the yard. The street and everything you see on it can also be arranged in colors - from the ficus in the window to the passing car.

By the way, the lower the temperature on the street, the faster you cool the heat. German scientists have found a scientific and very literal justification for this conventional expression. The thing is that minus temperatures contribute to the development of serotonin in the brain - it helps to calm down. It is not necessary to climb nervously in the freezer - the weather allows you to cool down if you run out into the street in a light T-shirt.

Walking is a very important moment in the restoration of shaken emotional health. Because adrenaline, thrown into the blood during stress, encourages us to move. The walk does not have to be "useful" (in the forest, next to the architectural beauties), it' should be on foot, and nothing more. Voltage will automatically switch to the muscles, and the head will clear up itself.

The third way: automatic movements
A very disturbed person automatically starts to walk back and forth, or nervously shake his foot, or drum his fingers on the table. Rhythmic actions have a certain calming effect. Even an obsessive motif can cause a calming effect (this is based on the repetition of prayers or mantras).

Method four: at the fingertips
Remember the scene from the movie "Amelie", when the main character launches her hand deeper into the bag with beans? It turns out that this is an excellent massage for the fingers and palms, which helps relieve stress due to mild stimulation of the nerve endings of the hands. If you do not have a bag of beans or rough rice at hand, Chinese massage metal balls will cope with their role, which tinkles pleasantly. In the end, even go to the bookstore. Taking out one book after another from the shelves, turning over and feeling with them with fingers is the same unobtrusive massage. Embroidering with a cross, knitting with knitting needles or modeling - all the same stimulation of the nerve endings of the hands.

Method five: attention, ears!
Stress can also be removed by stimulating the upper "fleshy" part of the ear lobe, where the lobe gradually turns into the cartilage. Massage is done clockwise, at a rate of about one revolution per second. You need to press so that you feel not pain, but comfort.

During massage the small pillow of the big toe slightly fixes the lobe of the ear. To get the desired effect, you need to learn how to do it absolutely naturally, automatically. Experts recommend to massage the "leading ear" or both 3-5 minutes. The procedure can be repeated several times a day. True, such a massage inevitably causes a sedative effect, so not to fall asleep in the workplace - do not overdo it. It is best to perform it before going to bed or after a tough conflict situation.
