Out of all the things that the 21st century has gifted us with, there's this one element that doesn't want to leave our sides no matter how hard we try, and that is stress.
Some of you might frown at the way we have linked stress with a "blessing", but let's not shy away from accepting that on some level, stress plays a major role in pushing us towards our goal and giving it our best shot that in turn, roots from the fear of ambiguity.
However, just like every other virtue which when overflows after reaching its saturation level turn into a raging vice, stress too abides by the same principles.
Stress can surface itself in various forms; from channeling itself through uncontrolled sobbing to turning into frenzied indignation, the manifold faces of stress can soon transform into something unpleasant.
Additionally, the chaotic reactions do not simply halt here; it only worsens from this point if not dealt with appropriately. Thus, keeping the interests of your welfare at heart, in the following section, we will furnish you with some ways of ridding stress restoring your vitality.
Exercise
According to reports, exercise is considered to be one of the most beneficial ways of eliminating stress and justifiably so. Instead of restricting your physical movements with the sturdy chains of your mind, let it be free; allow it to compensate for the lag that your mental health is undergoing.
Also, the benefits of exercise are obvious if you do it regularly.
Look at the whole scenario in this way - for your mind to shift its focus on the better things, it must be freed of the prevailing distress - and for that, there has to be an outlet. Thereby, physical exercise turns out to be that vent that reduces the stress hormones such as cortisol and stimulates the production of endorphins, a chemical that acts as a natural painkiller and resultantly improves your mood.
Liquid pig
Like we have already mentioned in the preceding section, your stress must ALWAYS have an aperture to flush itself out and substitute it with optimistic deliberations.
This is the reason why, when most people encounter stress, their immediate instinct is to thrash something on the floor or against the wall and release the fostering tension.
Therefore, instead of indulging in destructive behavior to reduce stress, we have something that will assist you not only in constructively managing it but also leave both your heart and mind satisfied.
Behold: Liquid Pig
If there’s just one thing that will never get tired of your unruly mood, then that is the Liquid Pig; it takes your suffering on to itself and crashes down on the ground, only to recast itself into its initial form and be at your disposal yet again!
Right before your eyes, when you thrash the pig on the floor, on one hand, it turns into a liquid and mushy thing that provides your heart with an odd satisfaction, while on the other hand, your anger and stress slowly dissipate.
Even if he stands firm against your entire wrath, do not test it on sharp objects because that's the only thing that is capable of hurting him.
Communicate
Another thing that you can try when stressed is communicating your feelings. It is not about how well will the people listening to you understand your tribulations or provide you with shreds of advice, but is concerned with pouring your heart out.
Talk to a friend or someone from the family who you know will make you feel at home and comfortable and lend you shoulder without judging your struggles. Trust us when we say, a half an hour or one-hour conversation will restore your sanity and aid you in reviving your concentration.
