5 simple ways to relax this Saturday
It’s been a long week and we are all probably; worked out as expected. We’ve gone through the thick and thin of Lagos traffic, the rain and sun of Bodija Market, the ever scorching sun of Abuja. We are probably dreaming of an awesome vacation in a beach in Miami to ease stress. Well, here are a few costfree things you can do to feel relaxed :
Laugh Regularly
Laughter actually releases endorphins into the brain, which help counteract high levels of stress and the onset of fatigue. You can benefit from this by enjoying the company of friends, or watching 10 to 30 minutes of comedy on a daily basis whenever the opportunity arises.
Drink Black Tea on a Daily Basis
A recent study revealed that the consumption of black tea dramatically lowers post stress cortisols, while also creating a relaxed and centered mood. Simply make this your regular morning and evening drink and gradually reap the benefits. Don’t look around too much, the popular yellow tea brand we take is black tea. See? Easy!
Breathe Deeply
As opposed to the usual talk that breathing deeply decreasing blood in the body, taking deep breaths helps you to relax. Funny? Take a deep breath and let it out slowly through your nose. Thank me later!
Indulge Your Creative Urges
When we engage the creative part of our brains, we begin to focus on something constructive. This takes our mind off intrusive thoughts and has been adapted into a form of self-help therapy. It is also proven to reduce stress-related conditions, so try to identify a vehicle for your creative passion and start a project that you can work on for a few minutes at a time. Take a time out, in your head!
Make Physical Contact with Loved Ones Whenever Possible
Not only does regular physical contact remind us that we are not alone, but it’s also something that we can use during the normal course of our day. Different types of contact also offer various benefits: Hugging is capable of reducing blood pressure, and a simple kiss is known to release chemical agents that alleviate hormonal deficiencies and lower cortisol levels.
This also reinforces the benefit of forming positive relationships. Like our other examples, it is a simple technique that can alleviate stress and enhance the quality of your life. Go to that date with your mom!
So Guys, be sure to try those out and have a great stress-free weekend! 😉
