Tension may be okay in the short-term, but long-term it's a warning. Here are seven ways for you to relieve tension to make sure you can become more productive, healthy, and satisfied with your life as described bellow:
Constant tension had caused someone to drink too much coffee (up to ten strong cups a day!) and to try to unwind by drinking at least a bottle of wine every evening. The drinking was making him tired and he was using coffee to try to combat that exhaustion, which at best it could only mask. Coffee and alcohol were having the same effect on his tension as paraffin would have on a fire you were trying to douse. So the first step is to cut down on any substances you suspect are just substitutes for real solutions to your tension.
Is it work, a relationship, lack of exercise, guilt, anger, exhaustion, or a combination of stuff? We need to 'know the beast' before we can vanquish it. Michael had been over-working but becoming "worse at [his] job". Tension was also making him feel unhappy much of the time and, when he came to see me, he was sick of feeling that way.
Sit down and think: "What is making me tense?" Write down anything that comes to mind (it may even be a particular person). Then think about practical ways that will (along with these tips) help you to either improve the situation or at least get some respite from it.
Often feeling tense is a sign that you need to take regular pit stops. We can all keep going a lot longer if we take time out. There is nothing like a20-minute afternoon power nap to ease away tension, revive energy and optimism, and make you feel human again.
No, not house (that might increase tension!) - move your body. A short walk three times a week has been shown to have greater antidepressant effects than antidepressant medication. Being outside in nature (even a park in a major city) can also relieve tension very fast.Some one tensed person decided there and then to start walking the2 miles to and from work and to resume doing short yoga exercises on days when he/she worked from home. Exercise also helps you sleep better at night and will improve the quality of your life-enhancing afternoon power nap, too.
Whether it's by getting a massage once a week or taking time to hug a loved one (and yes, loving sex can be a great stress reliever!), touch can melt away tension. Gentle touch has been shown to improve physical and psychological functioning, particularly in terms of reducing tension and stress, relieving pain, and increasing your ability to cope.
A good belly laugh can suppress pain, boost immune response, lower blood pressure, and enhance a sense of intimacy and shared understanding with those around you. Make a point of revisiting funny movies, spending time with people who make you laugh, and also recalling times when you really laughed.
"When did you have a really good laugh?" I asked the oh-so-serious Michael. Tearfully, he told me he couldn't remember; but I had a sneaking suspicion that part of him could. Later, during hypnosis, I asked his unconscious mind to travel back to a time when he'd been really laughing.
Other people can help us. Making time to see people who are fun, interesting, and good listeners as well as talkers will help you relax more. Socializing might even make you smarter!
