Stress Awareness Month: Tips to Help you Cope

Share

In today’s world, each one of us experiences stress in one way or the other, regardless of our age. While school-going children may feel stressed about upcoming exams, adults may experience stress because of problems at the workplace, career tensions, and so on. The short-term effects of stress may include headaches, nausea, muscle tension, and mental & emotional strain. On the other hand, the long-term effects of being stressed can be more severe and may include cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it becomes extremely important for us to reduce stress and have a healthy heart. So, in this stress awareness month 2022, we are going to learn about some tips to cope with stress. 

 

Eat Healthy

Healthy eating is the most important rule for managing stress. Sometimes, when we eat junk food regularly, it is possible to develop health-related diseases or problems. Such issues may lead to additional stress in life. Also, there is a saying “A healthy mind resides in a healthy body”. Thus, you must have a healthy diet to keep your mind free from tensions.

 

Perform Regular Exercises

Daily exercise is the second step toward coping with stress. Performing light exercises like low-intensity cardio is very beneficial to the human body. It activates not only the muscles and organs of your body, but also helps in increasing the blood flow. A good flow of blood helps in reducing stress and calming the body. All you need to do is keep a 30-minute window during the day for exercises like brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, etc. 

 

Get Enough Sleep

The work situations are taking a toll on the sleep cycles of all the working individuals. A sound sleep of 8 hours is very important for human beings to stay active and relaxed after waking up. There are times when we sleep for 8 hours or even more, and yet we feel exhausted after waking up. This is where a healthy sleeping routine comes into the picture. Health professionals advise you to turn off all electronic devices at least 30 minutes before going to bed. You can build your sleeping ritual by playing calming music at bedtime or reading a book to welcome a peaceful sleep.

 

Talk About your Feelings

You may have observed that when you talk about a bad phase going on in your life, you feel light and relaxed. This is why medical professionals ask mental health or hypertension patients to talk about their feelings to someone they trust. If you don’t have anyone to talk to, it is best to write about anything you feel like on a piece of paper. Identify the points that may trigger the development of stress in your mind. Doing so will help you stay away from situations that may trigger stress hormones in your body. 

 

Learn to Manage Stress

Holding on to the things that you cannot change doesn’t make any sense. Stressing about a lost job isn't going to bring it back to you. Worrying about a failing relationship cannot change the outcome unless you do something. Therefore, letting go of things or situations that you cannot do anything about is the most important step toward achieving good mental health. Sometimes, we stress about positive things like a marriage coming up, or building our dream house. In such situations, we must learn to manage our stress. You can do things you love like cooking, painting, drawing, travelling, playing some sports and much more. We all have something that makes us happy and relaxes us. When you're feeling stressed, try these hobbies to unwind your thoughts.

 

Stay Away from Alcohol and Drugs

We may have seen stressed individuals turning to alcohol and drugs to manage stress. Alcohol and other euphoric drugs may help to reduce stress instantly. But they are very harmful to the body in the long term. Alcohol and other drugs can severely affect various organs such as the liver, lungs, and heart. In such cases, having health insurance becomes the need of the hour, as treatments related to these sensitive organs are highly expensive. 

 

Seek Professional Help

Society may have entered the modern era, but there is still a taboo around mental health. People do not consider mental health a serious issue. As a result, those who suffer are afraid to seek medical attention. However, you need to get professional help in case you have been suffering from hypertension for a long time. Also, if you experience intense side effects of stress such as unbearable headaches, and persistent tension in the muscles, you should immediately reach out to a medical professional. Doctor visits are usually covered under the health insurance benefits

 

So, in this stress awareness month, let’s pledge to wipe out stress from our lives by adopting some healthy habits. If you find it difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle, try Niva Bupa’s GoActive Health Plan. It acts as your health coach and helps you to eat the right food, maintain a good diet, stay active and prevent hypertension.
