The 7 best anti-stress activities

Today, a large number of people are affected by stress, and more particularly physiological stress (also called "emotional stress").

Many factors can be sources of stress such as work overload, illness, relationship difficulties, financial problems or even studies.

Everyday stress and tension drain energy and significantly affect quality of life.

Fortunately, there are simple activities that are accessible to everyone, adults and children, to relax, stay calm and have fun in the healthiest way possible.

 

1 - Practice physical activity

Sport is a great stress reliever that improves both mental and physical health.

In fact, a sporting activity allows the release of calming hormones called endorphins, which help reduce anxiety and cause pleasure.

Regularly practicing sport for at least 30 minutes a day brings many benefits to the body and helps relieve stress, reduce tension and improve morale.

Yoga is an anti-stress sport known for promoting relaxation of the body and mind, and improving stress management.

2 - Coloring

Coloring is one of the favorite activities for many people to relieve their anxiety . By focusing on their coloring design, they get rid of their negative thoughts and emotions.

Coloring is therefore an easy way to release tension and soothe the mind on a daily basis.

There are many coloring books, for children and adults, specially designed to promote relaxation and combat stress.

  

3 - Perform breathing exercises

 

 

Breathing is the essential anti-stress tool, available at any time of the day. Very relaxing, it helps calm anxiety and eliminate toxic waste accumulated in the body.

The benefits of breathing are numerous: better health, more stable nervous balance , restorative sleep and even reduced tension.

One of the simplest breathing exercises is to start by breathing slowly through your belly. Then, inhale for three seconds, hold the air in your lungs for twelve seconds, and exhale through your mouth for six seconds. You should exhale as deeply as possible, going all the way to the end of your breath.

4 - Do meditation

Known for its relaxation, meditation is effective in relieving stress, but can be, for some, a difficult exercise due to the concentration it requires.

Through meditation, it is possible to train your mind to reach a state of calm and inner serenity, which helps combat daily stress. Meditation also improves self-esteem, increases creativity and promotes falling asleep.

To free yourself from stress and put things into perspective, it is advisable to settle down in a quiet place, without distractions, and position yourself cross-legged. Keeping your back straight and closing your eyes, you should inhale and exhale deeply while emptying your mind.

5 - Do puzzles

Doing puzzles is a fun activity to have fun at home, which provides a moment of relaxation and allows you to get away from screens. In addition to being beneficial for the brain, it helps reduce stress and tension.

Unlike some activities, puzzles do not put neurons to sleep but help stimulate them. It is both a fun and intellectual activity because it simultaneously uses several different areas of the brain. Thus, doing it regularly can develop memory, improve concentration and perfect your logical mind.

6 - Listen to soft music

Listening to soft, soothing music has been shown to be helpful in combating stressful times.

By having an instant effect on the body, music stimulates the hemispheres of the brain and decreases the levels of hormones linked to stress. It also helps to slow down the heart rate and reduce blood pressure. Breathing thus becomes deeper and more regular.

To relax with music, simply isolate yourself in a comfortable and quiet place, close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing to let yourself be carried away by the pleasant and relaxing sound.

7 - Walk in nature

 

Getting out of the house and taking regular walks in nature, in the forest or by the sea, can help reduce stress and increase resistance to anxiety.

It is therefore a good habit to adopt to improve mental health and learn to better manage stress.

At least once a week, a walk is recommended to stimulate the metabolism and reduce the level of stress hormones.
