Mind Calming Methods
1. Count to Ten
It may sound too good to be true, but this strategy really works. Just count slowly from one to ten. Try to breathe deeply as you do on each count, as this will enhance the effects. This little trick can help you to quickly gain control of your emotions and feel calmer in a few moments.
2. Close Your Eyes
Yes. Shutting your eyes for a moment blocks out a great deal of the stimuli that are currently wanting your attention. This brief period of visual stillness will allow you to gather your thoughts and to calm yourself.
3. Move Your Body
Exercise is a fantastic way to get your blood flowing and your heartbeat racing. This will also speed up the production of ‘endorphins’ in your body, providing you with extra energy to attack your issues with clarity. You don't have to do a full-blown exercise routine to benefit using this method, though. Taking a leisurely stroll would actually be the best thing to do during times when you need to chill out. This relaxing activity gets you moving, literally. It can remove you from a stressful environment as well as give you fresh perspective.
4. Try Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Progressive Muscle Relaxation is an effective strategy for releasing stress from your body without having to exercise, or even move out of your chair. This practice involves tensing and releasing the stress from every muscle group in your body. You can start with your head and work your way downward. Tense up the muscles in your face, hold for a few seconds and then release. This exercise can be completed in just a few minutes, and you'll feel tons better when it's over. Try it now and feel instant results.
5. Listen to Some Music
A soothing tune can be relaxing. Upbeat music can add energy when you need a boost. Perhaps something with meaningful lyrics might improve your mood. Whatever you choose, music can have a profound effect on your feelings and is a good option to rely on when you want to calm down or feel better.
6. Take a Warm Bath
Lying in a bath of warm water can be quite soothing to the soul for many and is even better when you add some essential oils or bath salts. Aromatherapy will add yet another layer to this calming routine. It's relaxing and allows you to mentally be in another place.
These methods above are just a handful of ways to stay calm when you're stressed out. Choose the ones that resonate with you the most and give them a try the next time you feel overwhelmed or when life is chaotic.
