Given the political situation in the country, it is extremely difficult not to succumb to stress and panic. But it is worth remembering that...
Do sports
Regular exercise is one of the best ways to relax your body and mind. In addition, exercise will improve your mood. But you have to make the sport regular to feel its impact. Exercise moderately up to 2.5 hours a week - such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes of more vigorous exercise - such as swimming, running, or other sports. Focus on setting goals in training that you can achieve so as not to give up. First of all, remember that even small activities are better than nothing.
Meditate
When you have an incredible amount of bad news and your head literally explodes with tension, it's easy to feel depressed. Clear your mind of obsessive thoughts. Meditation will help you with this. You should not start with difficult practices at once. To begin with, learn to control your breathing by doing it for a few minutes a day, or when you are in bed at night. Meditation will also help slow your heart rate and relax your muscles.
Use scents
Lavender is well known for its soothing properties, but other plants - jasmine, chamomile, basil - also have relaxing properties. Apply a little lavender or rose oil on your wrists to quickly change your mood, light a scented candle or make a cup of tea for a pleasant stay.
Tell us about your problems
If something is bothering you, talking about it will help reduce stress and panic. You can talk to family members, friends, your psychologist, or be alone with yourself. In order to talk to yourself to help reduce stress, you need to make sure that your intentions are positive. Listen carefully to what you think or say when you feel stressed. If your words have only a negative connotation, try to find a more positive one. For example, don't say to yourself, "I can't do this." Instead, say to yourself, "I can do it" or "I do my best."
Allow yourself to feel
Despite the fact that you should adjust yourself to the best result, you do not need to succumb to toxic positivity and hide your emotions under a smiling mask. It's okay to feel a little nervous and depressed. In fact, fear is a normal feeling in the current circumstances. But just because you're worried, you don't need to make rash, fear-based decisions. Acknowledge your condition, discuss it with a loved one and move on. If your nerves start to give way, find a loved one you can trust. This can help you get through a difficult period.
Take a day off and abstract
Give yourself the opportunity to reboot and abstract from the nervous atmosphere. Take a day off and spend it with the people closest to you, to remind you once again what a fundamental role the family plays in our lives. Go to nature, have a family dinner or do some activities together. It is important to realize that you are not alone and to feel the support and love of your loved ones.
