Do you often feel stressed or tense? Relaxing in these moments is not a weakness – quite the opposite! The motto is: Take some time to relax! Here are a few tips on how you can incorporate relaxation and stress relief into your daily life.
Just take a deep breath: Inhale for four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, and then exhale for eight seconds. This will help you relax and manage stress.
Time management: Avoid overload by prioritizing your tasks and times effectively.
Healthy diet and sleep: A balanced diet and sufficient sleep are true sources of power for the body and mind.
Set boundaries: Learn to say “no” and set clear boundaries to protect yourself from overwhelm and stress.
Take breaks: Regularly schedule short breaks into your (work) routine where you can take breathing space to calm down and relieve stress.
Exercise: Regular exercise in the form of stretching exercises or walks promotes blood circulation and relieves tension.
Communication: Speak openly with your colleagues and supervisors to reduce stress and improve the work atmosphere.
Remember that not every tip works for everyone. Try out what feels good for you and helps you to reduce stress and relax. The more regularly you consciously relax, the more beneficial it is overall.
