Enjoying life in the modern world is a whole science that is not taught in school. Such a course is not included in the compulsory university curriculum, as, for example, a course in philosophy. And in order to learn inner peace, many take time, and some begin to learn this only when stress becomes chronic.

How not to fall victim to time troubles and critical situations, says Passion.ru.

How to be calm

Sometimes it happens that we simply do not accept our anxiety if it lasts for a long time, and in this state we resolve all issues. On the way we break a bunch of firewood, which we ourselves then “stumble over”.

The easiest way to calm the nerves is, of course, to put in order the area of ​​​​life, because of which the stressful state followed. But this, as you know, is not done quickly.

The first thing you should do is accept your nervous state and assure yourself that you will definitely deal with all your difficulties, but gradually and after you calm down, pull yourself together.

Decide for yourself that the breakdown or stress you are currently experiencing is a severe cold and you need a "sick leave". Only when you are “cured” will you have the strength to change anything. In a word, allow yourself to take a break from everything and free up time for calming down. Otherwise, everything else will be simply useless, because mentally you will always be with your stress, so no other ways can get rid of it.

15 ways to stop being nervous

If you need to calm down urgently, one of the methods we offer will definitely help you. You can use them both together for severe stress, and separately.

• 1. Practice breathing

Breathing affects our mood and health like nothing else. And if we were more observant, we could notice that in different emotional states we breathe very differently. In order to calm down, it is enough to take control of your breathing and perform simple techniques. Having done it once, you can get rid of short-term tension, doing it regularly, you can really “pat up” your nervous system.

Deep breathing: straighten your back, straighten your shoulders, inhale deeply and exhale slowly completely, stretching the exhalation and making it longer than the inhalation. After exhaling, take a short pause.
Breathing technique from yoga “kapalabhati”. It focuses attention on the exit, which helps to calm the nervous system (while inhaling, on the contrary, helps to increase tone). How to practice this type of breathing, see the video:

Be careful with breathing exercises (do not do it for a long time or stop if you feel discomfort), do not get carried away with them if you have not practiced anything like this before.

• 2. Formulate a mental attitude

Without the right attitude, everything else is just short-term methods that will end in a well-defined time frame. But if you supplement them with a philosophical outlook on life, then you will definitely succeed in calming your nerves. Such attitudes, passed through myself and experienced, such as “everything is for the better”, “I can’t control everything and therefore let go”, “everything will be decided over time”, “I still can’t influence it, so I’ll be calm”, “ I can always ask for help.”

In a word, you need to find some kind of calm mentally, and even such simple installations that you need to believe in will help you a lot. If you adhere to a certain belief system, for example, a certain religion or belief system, then it will be even easier for you: you will definitely find the answer there, what is happening and what to do. Usually, simply knowing what's going on and why it's happening is enough to give you peace of mind.

• 3. Take a shower or bath

Contact with water is one of the easiest ways to calm your nerves and wash away the energy load of stress. Taking a warm shower, especially before bed, will help you clean up. It is better not to indulge in contrast showers or douches, as they, on the contrary, have an exciting effect on the nervous system.

And if you have the opportunity to sit in the bath with your favorite aromas and with your favorite music, without thinking about anything, then be sure to do it. It is advisable to put on clothes made of soft, natural fabrics or go to bed after taking a warm shower.

• 4. Organize your comfort

Comfortable conditions - a comfortable place to sleep, fresh linens, a clean room will calm the nervous system and help you relax and at least fall asleep easier and rejuvenate.

• 5. Find “time for yourself”

Postpone at least for a while all the questions that concern you, do not try to control everything. Set aside time just for yourself. This does not mean that you should go to salons and please yourself in every possible way (although, of course, you can). Making time for yourself in times of stress is just letting yourself forget that you have to do something else: fix your personal life, solve problems at work and/or with your parents/family, look for a job, pay your rent, etc.

With strong and constant stress on the nervous system, it’s good to go to a sanatorium or resort - where you can do nothing and worry about nothing.

• 6. Massage your head and face

A large number of nerve endings are concentrated on the head, and many people unconsciously, nervously, run through their hair and do a light massage. Do it consciously: “walk” your fingers like a comb over the scalp from the forehead to the back of the head. Rub your cheeks and forehead with massage movements, rub your temples in a circular motion away from you.

• 7. Eat sweets

In times of nervous tension, you can eat sweets "legally" - isn't that soothing? It is said that sweet foods are necessary for the production of certain hormones in the body, which allow you to overcome tension. Remember that sweet food is not only cakes, buns and sweets, but also dried fruits, candied fruits, dark chocolate.

In a word, do not get carried away and do not seize stress, otherwise, due to excessive passion for sweets, you may soon have a new reason for worry.

• 8. Get moving

Any physical activity (especially targeted) will help improve blood circulation, which will additionally supply your organs with the necessary substances. In addition, this way you will get rid of the clamps, and this will allow energy to move better through your body.

You can walk, dance, do yoga, do exercises or stretch. But do not strain too much, your task is only to shake yourself up a little. Listen to yourself, if now you want to lie down more calmly, then it is better to postpone all motor activities until you have the strength for them.

• 9. Rearrange

They say that if you rearrange 27 objects in the environment that surrounds you, this will help the energy around you to circulate more freely, which will have a beneficial effect on your emotional state. In general, any activity related to ordering - sorting out clothes, books, cleaning the room will help you calm down. In addition, putting things in order in the outer space will psychologically set you up for the inner order.

• 10. Draw, color

Drawing has long been known for its healing and calming effect. But if for some reason you cannot draw even the simplest things, buy a children's coloring book and colored pencils and just color the pictures.

• 11. Use aromatherapy

Essential oils of lavender, lemon balm, geranium, mandarin, orange, basil, chamomile, patchouli, ylang-ylang, bergamot will help you stabilize your emotional state. You can either simply inhale them using an aroma lamp, or take baths with them or do massages and rubbing. Before using, check the dosage of the oil, as an excessive amount can bring exactly the opposite effect.

• 12. Sleep and eat right

In general, sleep and proper nutrition are the key to the absence of stress for any person, but during nervous tension they are especially necessary. Get enough sleep for the amount of time your body rests. Eat healthy foods that, if not calm you, then, in any case, will not cause additional excitement.

A person who is used to constantly keeping everything under control, even a little nervous stress after a certain time (when the stability limit ends) can greatly knock him down.

14. Take a sedative

Modern science offers many types of sedatives - and tablets, and drops, and infusions, and teas, and herbs. Note that there are preparations created exclusively on herbs, and there are actually herbs themselves, and all this in the form of a course will be useful for a healthy person to completely stabilize the nervous state. Soothing herbs include valerian, St. John's wort, peppermint, lavender, chamomile.

However, try not to abuse this kind of calming the nerves, since the phrase “calm as an elephant” was not at all unreasonable, and over time, a sedative can dull not only nervous reactions that are undesirable for you, but also necessary ones, which is unlikely to make your life easier and better.

• 15. Consult a specialist

If none of the recommendations helped you, it makes sense to contact a psychologist or psychotherapist. The doctor will talk to you, run tests, work with you on stressful situations and their causes, and show you how to effectively cope with nervous disorders.

It happens that we are looking for complex recipes to improve the quality of life. We think: “I’ll go to yoga, so I’ll immediately become calmer.” And of course, we do not go to yoga. And we have a sincere excuse - why do we feel so bad. There is no good yoga in the area! Sadly...

Nevertheless, there are primitive emergency self-help remedies that have been used for centuries for stress, irritation, frustration, in a situation where someone or something is eating away at your brain.

They were used for recommendations by general practitioners (and not only) of the old school. Of those who took the patient by the hand, and that already felt better from this. Self-help tips were taught by physiotherapists, masseurs and sports instructors. Advice now costs more and is more difficult to formulate. Self-help is suppressed, this is not a market approach.

And we will return to the good old days, when self-help was welcomed.

Method 1 Take a break

This way to relieve emotional stress is suitable in cases where you are trapped, cornered and cannot escape anywhere. For example, sit at a planning meeting and listen to your boss, boiling internally. You can't escape, but... At the same time, being distracted by the contemplation of something extraneous, neutral and infatuation with this extraneous is the best way not to wind yourself up over trifles.

For example: "What, however, Masha's manicure ... I wonder how she did it?"

It only works if you yourself understand the benefits of such a strategy - do not look at the nasty things, do not listen to the nasty things. If you like to boil and get into disputes, this is your right.

Method 2 Get out of the annoying situation (it is also an emotional zone)

Did something make you sad at someone else's birthday party? On a picnic? Do you hate some group, public, page on a social network? Do you dream of removing an unpleasant person from your friends list?

So, quickly left the group forever. They banned a provocateur-debater, a troll, a boor, a fool. Deleted your profile, if that.

They quickly called a taxi (don’t sting, don’t sting), smacked the hostess and rush home - away from the party, away from the barbecue, away from the annoying, emotional zone.

Method 3 Drink some water

Now this is the crown recipe of all brilliant general practitioners who do not sell dietary supplements from pharmaceutical corporations.

A glass of water, drunk slowly, stops all seizures known to science. The first thing that is offered to a person who has been twisted by something terrible is a glass of water. Drinking water starts the mechanism of self-rehabilitation of the body. Most often, people become ill for two reasons:

• hysteria (sympatho-adrenal crisis in a different way),
• dehydration not noticed in time.

Since we don’t listen to our body and don’t teach life safety, we drink tea, coffee and soda all day long - we all have dehydration, and you have it too. Go drink a glass of water right now and then read on.

Method 4 Get Involved in an Exciting, Interesting Thing

This method is suitable in a situation where you cannot “let go”. You need to break the jam on chewing “And they, And I, And yes, all of them” with something flying, even stupid and tasteless. Reading detective. Computer game. Hunting and gathering. Surveillance and tracking. An attempt to reveal someone's secret. Even peeping and eavesdropping, damn it.

You must be involved in intrigue, in a detective story, in the rapid development of events, in a hunt, in a game, in courage, in flight.

Your ears should rise and your tail should twitch.

You yourself know what can captivate and amuse you. Everyone has their own, individual. Just don't play this game. Do no harm to anyone.

Method 5 Physical Discharge

Everyone is familiar with this method by hearsay, but, as usual, no one cares. And I remind you once again that the rapid physical discharge, which includes:

• walking,
• swim,
• general cleaning of the apartment (you can - someone else's),
• sex,
• trash destruction,
• work in the garden
• dance,
• floor washing and hand washing

relaxes knotted muscles and relieves stress, frustration fantastically effectively. General hand washing even helps to cope with grief - again, the advice of the old doctor, which I share with you.

Method 6 Make contact with water

Washing dishes is a free hypno-psycho-therapy session. The noise of clean running running water relieves our fatigue and takes away with it all the "dirt", not only household.

In addition to washing dishes, there is a well-known classic: take a bath, take a shower, go to the bathhouse, go early in the morning or in the evening - swim in the sea, in the river, in the lake, in the spring. Refresh, in short.

Method 7 Positive reframing of a stressful event

So much has been written about positive reframing (including by me) that I don’t want to repeat myself. I'll just give an example:

“It’s good that it happened that I won’t go anywhere this summer! Finally, I look like English courses, fitness and even self-development courses! When else would I allow myself such a "useless" luxury? Yes, and in the summer there is a dead season everywhere and there are only discounts around. So I'll save even more!"

Method 8 Could be worse, others even harder

You are not satisfied with the outcome of the event? Imagine what could have been a worse outcome. Imagine how bad some people around you are. If you master this art and stop turning your nose up at this strategy, then you will not need any psychotherapy at all.

Method 9 Laughter kills everything terrible and terribly important

Ridiculing, lowering, vulgarizing something inflated and important is an old recipe for human culture, dating back to the Neolithic. Thanks to grandfather Bakhtin for his term "carnival-laughter culture". Read, ask.

Or watch one episode about the adventures of SpongeBob SquarePants. When he was terrified of speaking at a school seminar, a smart squirrel gave him super glasses. Wearing these glasses, SpongeBob saw all the students and the teacher... in their shorts. That was funny! True, from laughter, he did not read out his report. And what were the teacher's panties .. Mmm ...

Method 10 Count to 10

Just read to ten. Slowly. Controlling your inhalations and exhalations. To myself, not out loud. This is the recommendation of doctors and sports coaches.

Method 11 Cry

Crying relieves stress. With the tear fluid, the body leaves those toxic substances that are formed under the influence of stress hormones. You can’t cry about your own - come up with a pitiful topic and specifically cry over it.

Method 12 Verbalization of everything that is on the soul

Pronunciation or verbalization - wrapping a vague "something" in clear words. However, great thing. And even better - write it all down on paper, write a long letter.

Just don't send it anywhere!

Here are 12 tips for dealing with stress and the diseases that stress causes.

These 12 are those who help us and do not require money for it. And the rest is expensive and from charlatans.

The rhythm of modern life can unbalance even the most persistent person. Constant haste, confrontation with aggression, anger, irritation - all this negatively affects the nervous system.

It should be understood that it will not be possible to completely avoid stressful situations, therefore it is important to know how to learn how to resist the surrounding negativity.

What is the danger of prolonged nervous strain?

It is important to learn how to respond correctly to unpleasant events occurring around. An overly emotional reaction to stressful situations leads to many health problems. A person who is acutely experiencing every stress is more likely than others to face unpleasant consequences:

1. 1. Headaches. To get rid of a migraine, the patient takes pills, which helps for a short time, and then worsens the state of health even more.
2. 2. Sleep disorders. Insomnia leads to many comorbidities.
3. 3. Memory deterioration. At the person concentration of attention sharply decreases, temporary memorable failures can be observed.
4. 4. Hormonal disruptions. Such violations are fraught with infertility, the development of diseases of the cardiovascular system.
5. 5. Exacerbation of chronic diseases. During stress, the patient has complications of the existing pathology, which requires prompt medical intervention.

The above problems, if not addressed in time, pose a serious danger to human life, can lead to a stroke or heart attack. Therefore, it is recommended that appropriate measures be taken as soon as possible to restore the normal functioning of the nervous system.

It is important to refuse long-term treatment with sedative medications. Their long-term use is not only addictive, but also leads to many side effects.

It is highly recommended not to resort to drinking alcohol in order to relax and calm the nerves. The positive effect of drinking alcohol will be rather short-lived, and alcohol addiction develops very quickly, which will lead to many associated health problems.

Preventive measures to prevent depression

If a person is not able to cope with the burden of problems on his own, and the use of the above actions and the use of folk remedies does not bring the desired result, then it is strongly recommended to seek help from a professional psychologist. The specialist will help to identify the true cause of constant worries and tell you what to do in this case and how to behave in a particular stressful situation, teach you how to deal with negativity.

Overly emotional people, overreacting to all the events around them, in order to prevent the occurrence of serious health problems, a number of preventive measures must be taken. It is recommended to adhere to the following rules:

1. 1. You don't have to keep everything to yourself. . Do not refuse the help of loved ones. Sometimes just talking to a friend is enough to take the burden off yourself.
