Deep breathing:

The main thing to do when you practice deep breathing is to breathe deeply from the abdomen, getting as much air as possible in your lungs. Taking deep breaths from the abdomen you will inhale more oxygen. The more oxygen you get, the less tense, short of breath, and anxious you feel.

If you feel a little stressed...
Take a minute to slow down and breathe deeply:

Always Sit comfortably with your back straight. Put one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach.

Breathe in through your nose. The hand on your stomach should rise. The hand on your chest should move very little.

Exhale through your mouth, pushing out as much air as you can while contracting your abdominal muscles. The hand on your stomach should move in as you exhale, but your other hand should move very little.

Continue to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Try to inhale enough so that your lower abdomen rises and falls. Count slowly as you exhale.

Self-Hypnosis:

A highly effective method for helping to resolve body/mind issues using a state of complete mental relaxation. In this comfortable state, the conscious is less active therefore the subconscious is free to explore psychological or emotional problems. It is especially indicated in cases of stress and habitual behaviour patterns. It can offer support when losing weight, or an opportunity to learn simple relaxation techniques.

Take Some Rest:

The first and the most important thing that can help in releasing much of your stress and tension is 15 minutes of relaxation. Seat on the sofa or lie down on the bed, leave your body parts loose and don’t try to control them, do not shake legs and hands, For next fifteen minutes, try not to think about anything and let your brain calm down and purge all the thoughts (the most important part of this activity, because if your brain is relaxed, you will feel completely relaxed).

Relaxation practice:
Always try to set aside some time in your daily schedule for relaxation. The best way to start and maintain a relaxation practice is by incorporating it into your daily routine. Schedule a set time either once or twice a day for your practice. You may find that it’s easier to stick with your practice if you do it first thing in the morning, before other tasks and responsibilities get in the way.

Remove anxiety from your body.

Day by day in our lives we are subject to physical, emotional as well as psychological stress. To cope with stressful situations, our body's comeback is to release hormones and chemicals to  these stressful situations resourcefully. Unfortunately these chemicals may linger in our bodies even after the stressful events have ceased.

Sources of concern

The second  you wake up in the morning, probable stress events already .

For example:
1) if you're a parent and you have little children who go to school.
2) Doing all those chores around the house before you leave for work in the morning
3) Remembering to feed the cat, or remembering that you forgot to feed the cat before you left for work. Stress events happen all the time.

Problems like exasperation which may be difficult to avoid when your work requires frequent interaction with people can also trigger stress response from your body. Driving your car, meeting deadlines, being shouted by your boss, and many other daily activities can release stress related chemicals in our body, I think it is time you learned to relax.

What happens when we feel lots of anxiety?

When stressful situations occur, our mind can shift to a 'fight or flight' mode. This activates the adrenal glands to discharge hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine (adrenaline). The expulsion of these hormones makes us more alert by sending more blood to our brain and raises our blood sugar levels. Other bodily functions that are not needed in a fight or flight situation such as our digestive system functions below normal levels to give way for the more important bodily functions for an 'emergency' situation as our body sees it.

This bodily reaction was meant only for the body to cope with a stressful situation which means it was designed to last only for a short period of time. For illustration, imagine that you are in a jungle and you stumble upon a lion. The body then will react to prepare you either to fight or flee. Your senses sharpen and you gain temporary strength. Whichever way you choose, the stress hormones get spent and your bodily functions return to normal levels.

In our modern lifestyle, we are bombarded with stress one after another without using the effects the stress hormones has provided us. We get angry, get overworked or whatever stress we encounter and the extra energy and other manifestations the stress hormones has prepared us are not put to use and it accumulates overtime which could be detrimental to our health. It could lower our immunity system, decrease our bone density, increase body fat and many more negative effects.

How to spend the stress chemicals

One way to take those stress hormones and chemical out of your body is to exercise or do some kind of physical activity which the fight or flight mode was intended to be. At least 20 minutes of exercise that could make you sweat and breathe heavily will do. Doing that 4 times a week is very good.

Getting recurring good quality sleep can also help. To sleep uninterrupted for the duration that's fit for you, 7 to 8 hours, can make your body's healing and repair mechanisms do its job efficiently including those stress hormones that are beginning to accumulate in your body.

Remove stress stress from your body and you'll always be in your peak performance.
