When you’re dealing with a lot of stress in your life, it can seem almost impossible to even get out of bed in the morning. Every day is incredibly long, and you can’t help but worry about the future. However, there are several ways you can counter stress in your life, both mentally and physically. Several people opt to schedule a massage appointment, while others plan a vacation and a few days off of work. But what do you do when you need stress relief immediately? In this video, we will go over a few helpful emergency relaxation techniques to aid in stress relief on the job.
Let’s get started!
The first step to countering your stress in the moment is to acknowledge that you’re feeling stressed. Learn to see the symptoms of your stress, like being agitated or restless. Then, learn to say the word “stop” whenever you find yourself getting stressed out. This will be a reminder to stop getting worked up and overthinking. Next take some deep breaths in through your nose, holding for a few seconds, and exhaling. Do this for a few minutes, relaxing your feet and hands. Once you feel better, begin to speak softly and move slowly until you work back up to your normal work pace again.
