Since a person in the turmoil of the world is not able to withstand the tension that is expressed in special situations of life, caused by many reasons in nature. What exactly is stress in scientific terms? Stress is a common and common phenomenon. We all experience it at times, whether it's a feeling of emptiness in the pit of our stomach when we stand up to introduce ourselves in class, or increased irritability or insomnia during an exam session. Minor stress is inevitable and harmless. It is excessive stress that creates problems for individuals and organizations. Any event, fact or message can cause stress, i.e. become a stressor. Stressors can be a wide variety of factors: microbes and viruses, various poisons, high or low temperature environment, injury, etc. But it turns out that any emotiogenic factors can be the same stressors, i.e. factors influencing the emotional sphere of a person. This is everything that can excite us, misfortune, a rude word, an undeserved insult, a sudden obstacle to our actions or aspirations. Stressful situations occur both at home and at work. From a management perspective, of greatest interest are the organizational factors that cause stress in the workplace. Knowing these factors and paying attention to them special attention will help prevent many stressful situations and increase the efficiency of managerial work, as well as achieve the organization’s goals with minimal psychological and physiological losses to personnel. After all, stress is the cause of many diseases, and therefore causes significant harm to human health, while health is one of the conditions for achieving success in any activity. How to identify stress? Signs of stress: Inability to concentrate on something. Too frequent mistakes in work. Memory deteriorates. Feeling tired too often. Very fast speech. Thoughts often disappear. Pain appears quite often (head, back, stomach area). Increased excitability. Work doesn't bring the same joy. Loss of sense of humor. The number of cigarettes smoked increases sharply.

Causes of stress Much more often you have to do not what you would like, but what you need, which is part of your responsibilities. You constantly lack time - you don’t have time to do anything. Something or someone is pushing you, you are constantly in a hurry to get somewhere. It begins to seem to you that everyone around you is clamped in the grip of some kind of internal tension. You constantly want to sleep and can’t get enough sleep. You dream too much, especially when you are very tired during the day. You smoke a lot. Drinking more alcohol than usual. At home, in your family, at work you have constant conflicts. You constantly feel dissatisfied with life. You get into debt without even knowing how to pay it off. You develop an inferiority complex. You have no one to talk to about your problems, and you don’t really want to. You don't feel respected either at home or at work. Stress is an integral part of human existence, you just need to learn to distinguish between an acceptable degree of stress and too much stress. Research shows that physiological signs of stress include ulcers, migraines, hypertension, back pain, arthritis, asthma and heart pain. Psychological manifestations include irritability, loss of appetite, depression and decreased interest in interpersonal and sexual relationships, etc. So, the causes of stress are countless and there is only one way to get out of stress: do not think and worry about what happened, but think about about what needs to be done to resolve the situation, about what to do next. This is a very correct position, here you do not lose your vitality, endlessly “chewing” an unpleasant event. What happened has already happened, and we cannot change it, we can only look forward, get a new outlook on life and always learn to emerge victorious from difficult situations. 10 secrets of dealing with stress Secret 1. Conviction that the situation is under control No one is immune from sudden (pleasant or not so pleasant) events that entail changes in the usual way of life. But on by and large, only we are responsible for our own routine. Other people and external circumstances in most cases do not decide anything. A sense of control over what is happening is what is necessary for peace of mind.

3 NovaInfo.Ru - 46, 2016 Psychological Sciences 3 Do you think that your life is controlled by someone else? Then you are guaranteed stress. Of course, if you have authoritarian parents, a stubborn friend, or an unstable boss, it is difficult to consider yourself the architect of your own happiness. Try to avoid being a victim. Learn to find time just for yourself every day. You can't change other people, but planning your own day is possible. Secret 2. Optimism... Everyone knows the joke that the same glass of water can be half empty for a pessimist and half full for an optimist. Choosing a calm and happy woman obvious: a positive outlook on things. Some people have it by nature, while others have to develop it. The situation turns out in our favor if we do everything we consider necessary. So why do we let the fear of potential failure override our hope for the best? And fear of failure creates stress. Secret 3...and at the same time realism It is very useful to repeat to yourself that everything will be fine. But muttering this while closing your eyes and heading straight into the sewer hatch is unwise. Alas, blind optimism is not a panacea. Sometimes it is better to accept the circumstances and patiently wait out the unfavorable situation. This does not mean at all that those who are bypassed by stress do not want and do not know how to dream. Nothing like this! They do it “professionally”: they develop action plans and can laugh at the naivety of their own delusions. It is also true that these people, having taken up the implementation of plan A, always keep in mind a backup plan B. Secret 4. The ability to see the whole picture If you want to get rid of stress, do not worry about the little things. A problem that will disappear in a couple of months is simply not worth your nerves. We must learn to set priorities, including emotional ones. Always try in the morning to assess the coming day and choose the most important things to do. Whenever you find yourself very distracted, ask yourself, “Am I spending my time well?” If you answered “No”, put off solving the problem until better times, having first assessed its scale. For example, if a friend calls you in the middle of work, politely tell her that it would be better to talk at a more convenient time. But if something very important happened to a friend, a real misfortune or, conversely, a joyful event, then the conversation can turn out to be a really very significant thing. Secret 5. Don’t promise anything unnecessary Often we create stress for ourselves. One common mistake is telling people what they want to hear rather than what is within your capabilities. So much can be promised that it is simply impossible to fulfill it all.

4 NovaInfo.Ru - 46, 2016 Psychological Sciences 4 You cannot cope with the declared volume, and the stress doubles because you are letting people down. The solution is simple: learn to promise less than you can deliver. You'll see, your friends will be happy if you arrive at the party, albeit late, because you said that you wouldn't have time at all. Your boss will also be pleased if you finish the report a day earlier rather than a week later. Secret 6. Contacts with people Hundreds of psychological studies show that as a result of communication, provided the parties are in a friendly mood, the heart rate stabilizes and blood pressure decreases, which means people become calmer. Therefore, maintain good relationships with others. And at the same time, don’t always just be the vest that everyone cries into; look for support yourself when you feel bad. Secret 7. Improving health Stress caused by any disease can be quite strong and at the same time acts on the sly. Don’t underestimate minor problems in your body, promising yourself to take care of them as soon as the “hard times” are over. The rules for combating depression include supporting and nourishing the nervous system. Selenium, as well as antioxidants and B vitamins, will complement any vitamin complex well, especially if you are going through a busy period. But they, of course, will not replace the two main components healthy life without stress - sleep and proper nutrition. Secret 8. Save your energy Protect your energy from external intrusions. We are surrounded by energetic “black holes”: those who are always irritated and dissatisfied with life find no better occupation than to try to drag you into their sorrowful world. You know such people well. Stay away from energy vampires, but if collisions cannot be avoided, then try to isolate yourself from them. negative influence. If you even mentally build a defense of white light around yourself, you will lose less strength. And maybe even charge the unfortunate “vampire” with your positive energy. Secret 9. Flexibility If you want to achieve certain results, change everything and even your own behavior. Flexibility is a very important trait for dealing with stress. For example, if you cannot argue with your colleague, although you are sure that you are right, try listening to his arguments for a change. Firstly, they probably have common sense, secondly, by following your opponent’s train of thought, you will understand where he made a mistake, and it will be easier for you to direct his reasoning in the right direction. And thirdly, when you listen, they try to listen to you. Secret 10. “Look far ahead!” Whatever happens, don't take anything personally and don't blame yourself. Instead of

5 NovaInfo.Ru - 46, 2016 Psychological Sciences 5 in order to engage in self-flagellation, try to learn a lesson from the difficult situation in which you find yourself. Don't give up and ask yourself: “Why did this happen now? What can I do to turn everything in my favor? You may not find answers to these questions in the near future. But the fact that your thoughts are positive ensures you a stress-free future. References 1. Aliev Kh.M., The key method in the fight against stress [Text]: textbook / Kh.M.

Depression and stress are a real scourge of modern society. The nervous system of people living in constant physical and emotional stress does not always successfully cope with the stress; often the body simply cannot stand it, and against this background, any of the listed diseases arises.

Depression is not just a depressed sad state, it is an illness that requires active treatment. It occurs, as a rule, under the influence of strong negative experiences, often as a result of affect. After extreme stress, the nervous system is sharply depleted, the body’s reserves are depleted, hormonal disturbances occur, which entails severe mental and even physical consequences. In some cases, the cause of depression may be a physical illness (or injury) that affects the production of the joy hormone - serotonin.

Depression is characterized by loss of interest in life, reluctance to communicate with others, decreased level of emotional perception, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. This can also include problems with appetite (usually a decrease, but sometimes a tendency to overeat), increased fatigue, constipation, decreased work efficiency, and even suicidal thoughts.

A person cannot diagnose depression in himself; this requires a visit to an appropriate specialist ( psychologist or a psychotherapist), who, based on the totality of symptoms, will determine the condition and prescribe competent treatment for depression.

A psychologist, by the nature of his activity, can give general recommendations concerning specifically psychological aspect. Assign medical supplies, in particular antidepressants and medications that stabilize sleep, can be administered by a specialist with appropriate medical education - a psychotherapist or psychiatrist. Despite the seriousness of the disease, getting rid of depression is quite easy, the main thing is to take a responsible attitude towards your own health and follow all recommendations.

Negative stress, which arises as the body’s response to any strong external influence, has a similar nature of occurrence. As a rule, we are talking about emotional upheavals or permanent psychological stress in which a person is located. Treatment of stress is possible without taking medications under the supervision of a qualified psychologist, because the main thing is to give the exhausted nervous system the opportunity to renew itself, and the body to have a good rest and gain strength.

Complex techniques developed by specialists allow you to get rid of stress even during busy work days, minimizing negative impact external factors on the nervous system and human psyche.

Do you know how small, seemingly harmless worms destroy a huge, healthy and beautiful tree? They gradually, in all possible ways, penetrate inside the tree, settle there, multiply and gradually “undermine” it from the inside until the plant organism dies.

Do you know how small, seemingly harmless worms destroy huge, healthy and beautiful tree? They gradually, in all possible ways, penetrate inside the tree, settle there, multiply and gradually “undermine” it from the inside, until plant organism will not die. IN modern society, just like a tree, it has its own “worms” that imperceptibly “undermine” it from the inside, turning it into a gradually dying and decrepit formation. Against the backdrop of the modern frantic pace of life and the abundance of information in the human world, stress and depression act as worms. The scale of activity of these pests has acquired colossal proportions in recent years. And this is truly the scourge of modern society!

Most recently, World Mental Health Day took place on October 10th. This date began to be celebrated in 1992 at the initiative of the World Federation of Mental Health.

The goal of World Mental Health Day is to reduce the prevalence of depressive disorders, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, drug addiction, epilepsy, and mental retardation.

According to the World Health Organization, today there are more than 450 million people on the planet suffering from mental illness. This is a very big number! And in Western countries, already every seventh person is either paranoid (schizophrenic), or susceptible to depression and suffers from alcoholism!

The increase in morbidity is facilitated by information overload, political and economic cataclysms in the country, and stress is a harbinger of disease.

Life in modern cities is already stressful in itself. Even daily trips to work on public transport contribute to this. I’m already silent about troubles at work, family problems, and so on. We are so exposed to stressful situations every day that we begin to come to terms with it, and we are not far from depression.

Don’t blame yourself for all your failures, it’s better to calm down, think about what your mistake is, and then try to solve the problem in a different way.

Create a daily routine and try to follow it.

Reward yourself for any achievements (for example, buy beautiful clothes, etc.).

Exercise daily (exercise) or at least 2 times a week.

Take regular breaks, both alone and with your family.

Communicate with family and friends more often.

And finally, I would like to say again - it is better to prevent a disease and fight its causes than to fight its consequences.

Be healthy!

In today's world, everyone is susceptible to stress and depression. And today's youth have the most harsh attitude towards many issues and problems. Students are bombarded with a lot of information now; they study a lot. Some people do not have time to master the program, and because of this they become depressed; others are well versed in one subject, but understand nothing in another. Students may also have problems in their family, at work, or with friends. And all this affects the health of students.

In the first year student life The main cause of stress can be drastic changes. The student needs to adapt to a new place, to new orders; he is surrounded by a new environment and people unfamiliar to him. In addition, the strength of the alliance with former classmates and with the usual social circle is lost. It is difficult for some to say goodbye to the life of a reckless schoolchild, it is difficult to realize that childhood is already over. And this is also a huge stress for them.

Another reason for stress in a student’s life may be living in another city, being isolated from home, or being separated from parents. This also includes limited finances or the inability to manage them correctly.

As you know, students lead a very active lifestyle. Students spend most of their time studying at the university, then preparing homework, the rest of the time is spent communicating with friends and relatives and other personal matters. In this regard, another cause of stress among students is irregular nutrition and insufficient sleep.

Other personal factors influencing the causes of stress in students include:

• illness or death of family members (death loved one always tragic, even the death of a pet can cause stress);
• conflicts with classmates and loved ones;
• moving;
• problems in relationships with your significant other;
• health problems (Most people believe that personal health is one of the main causes of stress. For some, it is obesity and the desire to lose weight. Other reasons may be bad habits such as smoking, alcohol abuse or drug addiction).

A special place in a student’s life is occupied by stress associated with studying at a higher educational institution. Academic stress is a condition characterized by excessive body tension, a decrease in emotional and intellectual potential, leading in the long term to psychosomatic diseases and stopping the student’s personal growth.

The causes of educational stress include:

• practical and laboratory work not submitted on time and unprotected;
• tasks not completed or completed incorrectly;
• a large number of absences in any subject;
• insufficient knowledge of the discipline;
• poor performance in a certain discipline;
• lack of interest in the discipline or the work offered to the student;
• emergence conflict situations with a teacher;
• lack of educational material;
• dissatisfaction with the assessment received;
• disappointment in the chosen profession.

The most pronounced form of educational stress is examination stress - this is a particular form of mental stress, which often causes examination neurosis and is an undoubted psychologically traumatic factor.

To relieve stress, many students begin to smoke heavily, use alcoholic drinks. The worst consequence is starting to use various types drugs for supposed “stress relief.”

Other consequences of stress include:

• physical breakdown;
• exposure to accidents;
• breakdown;
• decreased academic performance;
• problems with the gastrointestinal tract;
• headaches from constant tension;
• constant feeling of fatigue;
• loss of orientation;

Therefore, it can be concluded that there are many reasons that can lead to stress in a student’s life. In turn, stress leads to various consequences that negatively affect the health of students.

Stress- a common and common occurrence. We all experience it from time to time - maybe as a feeling of emptiness in the pit of our stomach when we stand up, introducing ourselves to a new place, or as increased irritability or insomnia during an exam session. Minor stress is inevitable and harmless. It is excessive stress that creates problems for individuals. Stress is an integral part of human existence, you just need to learn to distinguish between an acceptable degree of stress and too much stress. Zero stress is impossible.

Stress can have direct and indirect effects on health. It is the cause of many diseases, and therefore causes significant harm to human health, while health is one of the conditions for achieving success in any activity. Exposure to stress can lead to painful emotions such as anxiety or depression. It can also cause physical illness, both mild and severe. But people’s reactions to stressful events are significantly different: some in a stressful situation experience serious psychological or physiological problems, while others in the same stressful situation do not experience any problems and perceive it as interesting, finding new tasks in it. This means that the very occurrence and experience of stress depends not so much on objective as on subjective factors, on the characteristics of the person himself: his assessment of the situation, comparison of his strengths and abilities with what is required of him, etc.

Depression(from Latin - suppression, oppression) is a mental disorder that can bring a person out of emotional balance for a long time and significantly worsen the quality of his life (work activity, personal relationships, etc.). Depression often occurs as a response to psychological trauma or a negative event (death of a loved one, dismissal from work). Depression, or painfully low mood, can be either an independent disease or a manifestation of many others. Depressed mood can also occur in completely healthy people. Depression is one of the most common mental disorders. You need to know that depression in all its manifestations is a disease that must be treated, otherwise it will take a protracted course and lead to disability. Timely treatment in most cases leads to complete recovery.

Impact of depression on health

• Immunity: human body has a well-established system of resistance to many infections and diseases. Depression reduces the body's resistance and makes it susceptible to disease.
• Skeletal system: Depression contributes to the development of osteoporosis (brittle bones).
• The cardiovascular system: Depression affects the functioning of the heart and blood vessels. The disorder doubles the risk of diseases of this system.
• Nervous system: Depression is similar to dementia in its effect on memory, concentration and other thought processes. It also contributes to the development of dementia: the area of ​​the brain that controls memory is reduced in size in people suffering from chronic depression. Chronic, undiagnosed and untreated depression over time destroys neural connections in the brain, leading to the death of nerve cells.
• Pain perception: The depressed person feels unspeakable emotional pain.

Depression affects the functions of the entire body. For example, changes in appetite lead to overeating and excess weight, or undereating and weight loss. Depression is fraught with disruptions in the hormonal system and many other physiological changes. Thus, the tricky thing about depression is that it affects the body, mind and soul at the same time.

Sport is the best cure for stress. Exercising in the gym improves blood circulation, oxygen supply to the brain and increases overall tone. Among the ways to get rid of stress, sport takes pride of place.

• fitness and aerobics, as well as dancing, promote deep breathing, relieve oxygen starvation, in addition, communication in a group allows you to overcome despondency;
• swimming perfectly relaxes, distracts from problems, and water has an additional massaging effect;
• team games: football, volleyball, basketball. They distract from loneliness and help increase self-esteem;
• jogging, skiing and skating. The combination of fresh air, physical activity and communication with nature has a huge effect.

Of course, when you are depressed, it is difficult to force yourself to perform complex exercises and experience serious stress. In this case, you can replace physical education with walks in the fresh air - sunlight has a positive effect on mood and psychological state.

Ways to prevent and relieve stress

Anti-stress lifestyle

Our lifestyle is a reflection of our personality. Changing lifestyle – the most important condition overcoming destructive stress influences. The following will help to optimize your lifestyle: healthy eating, rational rest, proper personal life.

Healthy eating

Throughout human history, all cultures without exception have placed a huge emphasis on proper nutrition. Poor nutrition is a serious stressor. The most common mistakes that lead to stress are: irregular eating, eating on the go, eating harmful products, thinking about something negative while eating, overeating.

During stress, our body produces a large amount of hormones - adrenaline and cortisol. For the “production” of these hormones, vitamins C, B, zinc, magnesium and others are needed minerals. Under stress, these elements are urgently “confiscated” from their jobs in the body, where, in turn, their shortage occurs. As a result, a lack of vitamin C and zinc prevents us from producing enough collagen, which affects our skin. A lack of vitamin B inhibits energy production and mental performance. Magnesium deficiency leads to headaches and hypertension. Therefore, you need to consume more vitamins.

Rational rest

It has been known since ancient times that the best rest is a change of activities. You need to be able to rest properly after a working day, on weekends, and during vacation. And the most important thing here is to be able to switch your attention. The situation when we think about work at home and at work about our household chores is not so impossible and makes it very difficult to concentrate on performing a certain type of activity, which only creates certain difficulties, problems, breakdowns and often leads to stress.

Healthy sleep to combat stress

Nothing restores strength like healthy sleep. Sleep preserves not so much a person’s physical activity as psychological balance. During sleep, our body produces hormones that are responsible for growth and restoration of body functions.

Stress and physical exercise

It is well known that physical activity is one of the most available ways escape from stress. Since stress triggers mechanisms in the body that prepare it for intense physical activity, physical exercise is the most natural way to release accumulated energy. Physical exercise has a relaxing effect that occurs after exercise and lasts up to 2 hours. If physical exercise is performed regularly for 7-8 weeks, it begins to have a long-term effect, expressed in increasing the body's resistance to stress.

Medicine explains in different ways the positive effect of physical activity on the emotional state. It is traditionally believed that physical activity increases the level of chemical substances which help improve mood.

From all of the above, everyone should take away:

1. Stress and depression can and should be fought.
2. You need to learn to perceive events as they are.
3. You need to eat right.
4. You need to manage your time correctly.
5. You need to devote more time to sports and physical exercise.
6. You need to walk your thoughts in the fresh air.

When a student learns to do all this and do it correctly, it will be much easier for him to cope with stressful situations.

It is no secret that in psychology there is no precise and clear definition of any concept, just as there is no one version of it. The same goes for stress. I will give a couple of simple and understandable definitions.

1. Stress is a state of the human body in which all its systems are under tension, both physical and psychological.

2. Stress is the human body’s reaction to some external influence.

It is clear to any person that stress is an integral part of his life. Little stress or occasional experiences are harmless. Severe and prolonged stress, excessive stress, is dangerous. It is excessive stress that we will consider in this article. One that can have a detrimental effect on the body of even a healthy person. For clarity, we will divide this harmful effect into psychological and physical, which will differ in their symptoms. Psychological symptoms of stress include a person’s irritability, seemingly out of nowhere, and a decrease in interest in life in general and in its individual areas. But physical symptoms include more visible illnesses: ulcers or random pain throughout the body, be it the heart or head.

The most important question that should concern you is why stress occurs, its causes. I will try to list the most important causes of stress, in my opinion.

1. Working moments of a person’s life:

1.1 A boring and unloved job is uninteresting. When you have to make an effort of will to fulfill it, thus stepping over yourself. Often this situation causes unconscious anxiety and discomfort.

1.2 Uncertainty of one’s own role in the team - when an employee is unsure of what is required of him, primarily his behavior in specific situations.

1.3 Conflicts in the workplace - disputes, swearing, prejudiced attitude of colleagues.

1.4 Role conflict - the simplest example of this cause of stress can be several bosses for one subordinate, respectively, several different assignments for one task.

1.5 Work overload - too much work that needs to be done in a short period of time. It is interesting that too little workload also leads to stress, banally, frustration regarding one’s own importance.

1.6 Other reasons that can be understood as extraneous noise in the workplace, for example, long-term repairs in an adjacent room. This also includes temperature changes and light - natural or artificial.

2. Personal life of a person. In this section, factors causing stress can be negative and positive, but the sign does not affect the strength of stress and its side effects.

2.1 Negative stress in personal life can be represented by troubles in personal life or lack thereof, death of relatives, lack of understanding and support from loved ones.

2.2 Positive stress is the one that happens to us in moments of boundless happiness: meeting the love of our life, a wedding, a significant achievement in sports or work, a long-awaited meeting with friends or the birth of a child. It would seem, where does stress come from, because these are good events that bring so much warmth into our lives! But from the physiological side, these events cause the same tension, which has a very unfavorable effect on the body.

Interesting concept, stress. What is this? It's simple. This is a response to the current situation. Here and now! The reasons may be: lack of time - life in a constant rush, lack of normal sleep patterns, consumption of energy drinks and alcohol, lack of opportunity to speak out, and as a result, lack of trust in people.

How do you know if you are on the verge of stress?

1. Fatigue, which leads to basic errors in work.

2. Memory deteriorates, thoughts simply do not linger in the head. There were, and now they are not!

3. Frequent and increased excitability, but quickly turning into fatigue, going to zero.

4. Failure in food intake: either overeating or frequent failure from food.

5. Alcohol and cigarettes become a faithful companion. They relieve fatigue and anxiety for a while, thereby helping a person feel better. It’s a pity, but the effect of such “medicines” is not long-term, and it brings a huge number of problems.

6. Sometimes pain arises, now in one place, now in another. Uncontrolled and causeless, which can only frighten a person and excite him even more.

Well, do you recognize yourself? What kind of life do you lead? Stressful or not?

By stress style I mean all the troubles at once, plus the inability to quickly overcome them. These troubles can be difficulties in the family, lack of understanding, conflicts at work, constant haste due to lack of time to complete work. This may lead to incorrect life position: life is too complicated and difficult for me to adapt to. As a conclusion, people turn out to be programmed for constant failures, for hopeless situations - a vicious circle.

If there is a stressful lifestyle, then there must be a non-stressful one. Here we will not take into account a lot of stress; you won’t be able to live without it. The essence of this style is that a person is satisfied with life, can quickly cope with temporary difficulties, and is surrounded by care and love. Well, most importantly, these people have their own hobby, which is their “lifeline.” Interesting activities that bring positive results and emotions help a person feel important. This helps you enjoy life to the fullest, develops a sense of humor, which, as you know, is the most effective means of overcoming tense situations and conflicts.

It's time to write some simple ways dealing with tense situations and stress in general. Believe me, I won’t write anything new. But I will try to briefly and clearly outline the methods of “relaxation” or rest that we all know.

1. It’s trite, breathe through your nose. The easiest way to calm down. Breathe slowly for two minutes, while your heartbeat slows down.

2. Try to get rid of thoughts that oppress your soul. I know it's difficult, but useful. You can try to focus on the heaviness of your body and think about it. About how you relax and calm down.

3. As a supporter of physical activity, I can also recommend doing simple exercises for 10-15 minutes. More about stretching muscles than about physical activity. Selectively tense the muscles of your own body, learn to feel it. You could say that this is a reference to yoga, however, it is true.

4. As you inhale, tense the muscles of your body, and as you exhale, relax. Simple but effective.

Let's move on from relaxation to more understandable and in the usual ways, topics that do not require special training.

1. It’s worth deciding once and for all for yourself what is a higher priority and stop worrying about the little things. After all, these little things tend to accumulate, and accordingly they turn from small ones into large ones.

2. You must learn to treat others with respect, no matter how disgustingly a person behaves, you treat him with respect. In such a situation, you yourself will notice how quickly you will stop worrying about his behavior.

3. You know, the word no can be good. Learn to say it. This will get rid of unnecessary hassle, because you can’t take it upon yourself the right job or being responsible just out of the kindness of your heart may get you into more trouble. Feel free to say no!

4. It is worth listening to others, and not talking only about your loved one.

5. Make a rule for yourself: every half hour of working time, take a couple of minutes to rest.

6. Proper nutrition also another way to keep the body in good shape. Moreover, it is not only correct, but also regular.

7. Do not make sudden conclusions, which often only bring a feeling of fear; most of these conclusions are based on our conclusions, and not on a specific situation, that is, people tend to act rashly.

8. Often situations that cause stress go away on their own, or a person can cope with them himself, without outside help, and even more so without the involvement of specialists.

9. An active lifestyle can become the most reliable ally in the fight against stress. Just do 20 minutes of exercise every day. And take walks in the fresh air more often.

Stress is a dangerous enemy of the body, but it is not immortal. The main thing is not to give up. A person sets the limits of his own capabilities. He himself builds bastions of problems around himself, closing himself off in them. As soon as he realizes that walls are not the best protection. As soon as the first steps are taken in accepting a tense situation, the picture of a solution and a way out of stress will immediately emerge.
