The pressure is getting bigger and bigger, what should I do? Reduce it. In fact, reducing pressure is like losing weight. It's a lifelong exercise that must not be ignored! An obese person may suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure and other serious diseases; while a "psychologically obese" patient may have more than just those diseases.

Counting Method

Count 1, 2, 3... slowly count from 1 to 10, and then from 10 to 1. This helps you relax mentally and gives yourself a little time to ease the tension. When you return to work, you will find it much easier to concentrate.

Breathing Method

Breathing does not only maintain life. The method of inhaling and exhaling can also refresh your mind and smooth out chaotic thoughts. So when you feel too much pressure and your heart beats faster, try to relax your body and mind and take a few deep breaths.

"Escape" Method

Leave the place that makes you nervous. Stand up, walk out of the office, go to the corridor or outside, change the environment, breathe some fresh air, and use a few minutes of pause to sort out your thoughts.

Violent Pressure Reduction Method

Carry a tennis ball, a small rubber ball or something else with you. When you need to release too much pressure, squeeze it secretly to release the stress in your heart.

Writing Pressure Reduction Method

"Write down your worries." Use a piece of paper and a pen to write down your stress experience, all the troubles on your physical and mental side. During the writing process, you will feel your emotions gradually stabilize.

Essential Oil Therapy

Add lavender, rose, perfume tree, geranium and other aromatic essential oils with calming effects to your bath water, which helps relieve stress.

The temperature of the water, the pressure of the water flow, buoyancy and bubbles collide to massage muscles, dilate blood vessels, promote blood circulation, and eliminate fatigue.

Color Pressure Reduction Method

One of the ways to deal with stress is to get yourself closer to soothing colors, such as green and blue. These colors can be used in the clothes you wear, as well as the walls or decorations in your home. During the period of facing stress, avoid red because it can make your mood even lower.

Meditation Method

Indian yoga often uses meditation to reach a spiritual realm. Find a comfortable posture to sit down, completely relax yourself, focus on your breathing, one breath in and one breath out. At the beginning, you may not be able to focus on your breathing and will think randomly. Don't worry, if you persist for a while, you will see the results. Forget about work and let yourself enter into an entirely new world.
