What is stress?
Stress is a normal part of life. It can come from many different sources, including
work, family life, and other relationships. Although we may not be able to avoid stress
altogether, there are things we can do to manage it more effectively.
How do you know when you're stressed? You might feel tense or "on edge," or find
yourself with a persistent headache or stomachache. You might also have an
increased heart rate or trouble sleeping.
Stress affects everyone differently—it's important to acknowledge your unique stressors and
find ways to manage them so that you feel better in your day-to-day life
There are two main types of stressors: situational and internal sources (Wolff et al., 2016).
Situational sources refer to external events such as financial problems or job loss, while
internal sources refer to personal events such as relationship problems with friends or family
members.
Stress is defined as a "perceived or actual event that causes psychological strain or
discomfort" (American Psychological Association). A stressor is any stimulus that
provokes an emotional response from an individual or group. The responses may include
physical symptoms like headaches, nausea, heart palpitations, increased blood pressure,
and sweating. We can also experience psychological symptoms such as anxiety attacks and
depression if we are exposed to certain types of stressors over long periods of time (Wolff et
al., 2016).
1. Identify the sources of your stress. You may be experiencing stress from multiple sources,
with your family. Are these situations causing more stress than others? and may be hard to
pinpoint exactly what is causing the problem for you. Try thinking about what situations
cause you problems, such as being under pressure at work or having trouble.
2. Take time to relax when possible. If possible, try to take breaks every day where you can
sit down and relax for 15 minutes or more without distractions like TV or phone calls (or
both!). Even five minutes of silence can make all the difference!
3. Recognize your strengths and use them! When faced with a stressful situation, try finding
ways to use your strengths—such as being able to problem solve quickly—to help you get
through those tough times

Exemplifications include walking, stair climbing, jogging, dancing, bicycling, yoga, Tai chi,
gardening, toning, swimming, and jumping.
Children experience stress differently than adults, and they frequently lack the language to
communicate their emotions adequately. This implies that stress can manifest itself in
several ways, including through mood changes, acting out, insufficient sleep or attention,
and even complaints of headaches or stomach aches.
Unhealthy habits like binge eating or substance abuse can also be brought on by stress and
worry.
Children have plenty of room to roam and play outside, where there are also numerous
simple ways to be active. Finding activities to help kids burn off energy might be difficult

change how stressed out you feel.

6. Not to mention, even a little stress can result in an increase in your requirement for vitamins
C and B, selenium, and magnesium.
Serotonin, a hormone that improves mood and lowers stress, can temporarily rise in
levels in response to carbs.
People under stress can concentrate and focus more effectively if serotonin levels are
raised.
Choose unprocessed, nutritious carbohydrates like sweet potatoes and whole grains instead
of easy ones like those found in cookies, cake, and "white" meals like white pasta and white
bread for superior nutrition.
Complex carbohydrates take longer to digest and have less of an immediate impact on
sugar than refined carbohydrates because they contain vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Unrefined carbohydrates induce a sudden increase and collapse in blood sugar.
Avocados also contain omega-3 fatty acids.
These beneficial essential fatty acids have the capacity to elevate mood, increase focus, and
lessen feelings of tension.

7. Seaweed, chia seeds, flaxseeds, walnuts, and fortified foods like particular types of eggs,
milk, soy milk, and nut milk are other whole-food alternatives.
Attempt omega-3 dietary supplements in the form of fish oil as well.
Nuts are rich in minerals such as B vitamins, healthy fatty acids, and magnesium, which
have been associated with better anxiety management.
Strawberries, Grapefruits, and Oranges
High doses of vitamin C may reduce stress, according to several studies.
Anxiety levels are decreased by vitamins C and E.
An excellent place to start is by consuming fruits like oranges, grapefruits, and strawberries.
Dark chocolate
By lowering the amounts of stress hormones in the body, the antioxidant-rich dark chocolate
may also help lessen stress.
It's crucial to select premium dark chocolate.

Why does stress make it harder to sleep?

8. More stress hormones may be present in your body than usual if you experience pain, worry
frequently, or are managing a challenging circumstance in your life.
More is added if you have a bad night's sleep.
Gentle breathing:
● Sit or lie down in a comfortable position in a quiet area. Breathe gently.
● Closing your eyes might be beneficial.
● Spend around five minutes taking deep breaths in and out.
● Breathe in through your nose and down into your belly.
● Your breathing should be your main focus.
Progressive muscle relaxation:
● Sit or lie down in a comfortable position in a peaceful area.
● As you breathe, start tensing certain muscle groups one at a time.
● As you inhale, hold the tension; as you exhale, let it go.
● Take a few deep breaths as you observe (and savor) how relaxed each muscle group
feels.

9. ● Start with the face, neck, and head muscles.
● Then, work your way down to your back, stomach, buttocks, thighs, calves, and feet.
Take a bath before bed:
Before going to bed, take a hot bath or shower to raise your body's temperature.
Why must we turn off our brains for eight hours each night?
Sleep allows us to recharge, mend, and may even maintain the youth of our brains.
Bipolar disorder, anxiety, and ADHD have all been linked to sleep deprivation.
For a better night's sleep, use comfortable pillows.
One of the most crucial factors to think about when designing your bedroom to lower stress
levels is the color scheme you select.
Softer colors can be tranquil and relaxing, while bright colors can be invigorating.
Keep a blanket nearby at all times
Mattress toppers are crucial for getting a better night's sleep.

10. 4. Use herbal teas:
Chamomile Tea

11. The plant chamomile is frequently used as an herbal treatment for anxiety and sleepiness
brought on by anxiety.
It is renowned for its calming aroma.

5. Use essential oils:
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but there are ways to reduce the stress that comes with it.
Some people experience stress because of traumatic events, while others have unhealthy
habits that lead to it. Either way, you can use essential oils to help relieve symptoms caused
by stress. This article will discuss some essential oils that have been known to help with
chronic and acute stress disorders.

13. Essential oils have proven themselves to be a great natural remedy for a variety of physical,
mental, and emotional disorders. And one of the most common ways that essential oils are
used is as stress relievers. These can be used alone or in addition to other treatments such
as exercise and diet modifications. Here are some common essential oils that help relieve
stress by increasing relaxation and reducing anxiety:
Lavender
Lavender, one of many essential oils with anxiolytic or anti-anxiety characteristics, can have
a relaxing impact all over.
Chamomile
Chamomile essential oil has some solid research behind it. Over the years, it’s been used for
a variety of ailments and conditions, such as digestive upset, anxiety, wounds, pain, and
sleep problems.
Orange

14. Orange essential oil, a citrus-based oil that can induce relaxation, is another essential oil
with anxiolytic qualities.
In contrast to those who inhaled a control scent (tea tree oil) or a placebo, participants who
inhaled sweet orange essential oil didn't experience an increase in anxiety or tension during
an anxiety-inducing setting, according to a 2012 study.
However, the strong aroma can also stimulate the senses and heighten attentiveness, which,
when combined with the soothing impact, can provide a balanced mood that is ideal for
meditation.
Jasmine
The white blooms of the jasmine plant, also known as Jasminum officinale, are used to make
jasmine oil, an essential oil.
Popular for its uplifting and relaxing effects, jasmine essential oil has many uses.
In contrast to a placebo, jasmine oil raised blood oxygen saturation, breathing rate, and
blood pressure, according to a 2010 study that examined the substance.
Additionally, the members of the jasmine oil group said they felt more attentive.
6. Spend time with your friends and family.
It is so important to spend time with the people who love you and the people who matter
most. You'd be surprised at how many people will get on your nerves if you don't spend time
with them. I have personally been there, and even though we can become good friends
when we click and form a bond, there are some who don't really understand why they're not
included in your list of friends. These are the ones who are negative and make you feel
down.
Well, relax. You are not alone when it comes to how hard you're working. Many of us
struggle with stress and anxiety on a daily basis. Don't beat yourself up over it any longer.
Dr. Lucy says what's really important is that we take care of ourselves and nurture our
relationships in ways that help us cope with stress better.
“A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your
garden.”
Spending time with loved ones and friends helps people cope with stress in better ways.
According to a Carnegie Mellon University study, people talk to their family and friends about
their difficulties as stress relievers rather than turning to harmful coping techniques like
drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or using narcotics.
Your psychological health is improved by the emotional support that comes from your social
connections.

15. Those who perceive their friends and relatives as being helpful reported feeling more
purposeful and having a better sense of meaning in life.
Good relationships with spouses, grown children, siblings, and friends all have a favorable
impact on one's health.
7. Spend time in nature:
Spending time with nature is something many people take for granted. You may have visited
an aquarium, your local park, or a forest, but there's more out there than meets the eye.
Nature lovers know that being in nature can bring many benefits, as it's a great way to relax,
get fresh air, and even be active, and you can learn how to grow fruits and vegetables in
your garden.
Sitting in the sun, being outdoors, and being with nature are amazing things. It's truly
something to experience. Take some time every day, or every week to reconnect with nature.
Get away from all of that technology we have and get back to basics, but this time in a new
way. Nature can provide so much comfort and happiness when you learn how to appreciate
its many gifts and features.

16. Gardening is the best way to reduce stress. While it might not seem true, I can tell you from
personal experience that once you start gardening, your stress levels will begin to decrease.
A few months back, I got the urge to start gardening again after a long absence and planted
a garden on my rooftop terrace. It was amazing.
Weeding, digging, and raking are all beneficial forms of exercise.
Regular exercise can help prevent dementia and reduce anxiety, sadness, and other mental
health problems.
If you don't prefer working out in the gym, gardening can be a fun alternative that also
provides these advantages.
