Do you have sweaty palms when you are sitting in the exam hall? Do worrying thoughts keep you awake at night? You may have experienced one of these on certain occasions.Here are three simple "first-aid" techniques that could make a difference.
Sit at your bed
Do you jump out of bed the moment the alarm rings every morning? Perhaps the next time you get up in the morning, you can try this. Slowly get up and sit at your bed for a few minutes.The important thing is not to let any hurried thoughts clutter your mind. In these few quiet minutes to yourself, you will be able to feel refreshed.
On many occasions, we have our handphones right next to the served food, and our eyes are busy with the world within these tiny devices. Such actions seem to be the perfect recipe for an overworked brain.
Instead, take mealtime as a time to enjoy your food. Slow down and let your eyes feast on the different colors, and allow your tongue to taste the variety of flavors. It also helps you to feel more relaxed.
Get moving
Playing sports such as basketball, soccer or simply going for a run helps reduce the body's stress hormones and instead stimulates the production of endorphins that lift your mood.All you have to do is to ensure you incorporate a regular routine of exercise of low to moderate intensity. This will also help you feel more energized and healthy, besides ridding you of stress and anxiety.
These are the ways you can achieve harmony with your body and mind, and feel less anxious and stressed. Give them a try. Your mind will thank you for it.
A. Eat mindfully
B. Exercise regularly
C. Let the body and mind feel the peace.
D. There is no need for you to become a gym rat.
