7 Steps to fight stress in this Financial Crisis

 

7 easy ways to fight stress in tough financial times

In these tough financial times,  companies are cutting costs, business owners are stressing over ways to increase their revenues, and a large number of employees are alarmed at every email they recieve, fearing that their company is announcing job cuts and that their position is at stake.

 

All of the above, plays with our emotions and causes us to increase our stress level; some people take it negatively and some people will start using humor to overcome this period. 

 

I was reading an Article in "Health Magazine" and decided to try it, and guess what?....... it has worked.....

Those 7 easy steps will help you cope with the situation and make the most out of it... at the end of the day, the situation will not last forever, and every recession is followed by growth, so lets be ready for it.

 

                       Follow these tips in the morning and leave the house with a spring in your step

 

      7. Have Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an excellent stress buster. According to Psychology Today, people who have high levels of vitamin C are less stressed and find it easier to bounce back from stressful situations. Drink orange juice or slice some strawberries into your cereal.

 

6.Add some honey to your cereals

The natural sugar can boost your levels of happy hormone serotonin. When researchers in New Zealand fed honey to rats, they found that they were less anxious and stressed. What works for rats can work for you, although not necessarily the thing about living in the sewers.

 

5.Stretch in the shower.

Hot water loosens your muscles, making stretching easier. Stretching helps prevent injury, improves circulation, increases balance and boosts energy.

 

4.Play Music

Music can fight fatigue and relieve stress, says sports psychology journal Athletic Insight. Although it might have the opposite effect on your neighbors...

 

3.    Smell the Coffee

Scientists in Japan believe that just the aroma of roasted coffee beans can alleviate stress caused by sleepiness.

  

2.    Do some exercise

It fires up your metabolism and releases feel good chemicals called noradrenalines into the brain. In a study psychologist found that interval spirits of 30 seconds could cheer you up for 90 minutes.

 

1.    Rise at 7:21

Get you before this time and you could spend the day feeling irritable and stressed. A University of Westminster study found that people who rise early had higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
