Laughing yoga.<br />
Everyone has heard about the benefits of yoga<br />
– but have you ever tried to laugh your way<br />
through the session? Created by Indian doctor<br />
Madan Kataria, the exercise encourages yogis<br />
to do everything from chuckling, giggling to<br />
full-blown roaring until you leave with the<br />
biggest smile on your face whilst chanting<br />
“one-two-three, laughter is free; east or west,<br />
laughter is the best.”<br />
Madan Kataria believes laughter can<br />
cure illnesses and began experimenting<br />
with laughter clubs during<br />
the ’90s. Since then, the comedy<br />
club has spread across Mumbai with<br />
millions of people around the world<br />
flocking over to join. However, it’s<br />
just as easy to practice from home.

RY SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY<br />
Avoid, or at least reduce, your consumption of nicotine and any drinks containing caffeine<br />
and alcohol. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and so will increase your level of stress<br />
rather than reduce it.<br />
Alcohol is a depressant when taken in large quantities, but acts as a stimulant in smaller<br />
quantities. Therefore using alcohol as a way to alleviate stress is not ultimately helpful.<br />
Swap caffeinated and alcoholic drinks for water, herbal teas, or diluted natural fruit juices<br />
and aim to keep yourself hydrated as this will enable your body to cope better with stress.<br />
You should also aim to avoid or reduce your intake of refined sugars - they are contained<br />
in many manufactured foods (even in savoury foods such as salad dressings and bread)<br />
and can cause energy crashes which may lead you to feel tired and irritable. In general,<br />
try to eat a healthy, well-balanced and nutritious diet.<br />
A lack of sleep is a significant cause of stress. Unfortunately though, stress also interrupts<br />
our sleep as thoughts keep whirling through our heads, stopping us from relaxing enough to<br />
fall asleep.<br />
Rather than relying on medication, your aim should be to maximise your relaxation before<br />
going to sleep. Make sure that your bedroom is a tranquil oasis with no reminders of the<br />
things that cause you stress. Avoid caffeine during the evening, as well as excessive alcohol<br />
if you know that this leads to disturbed sleep. Stop doing any mentally demanding work<br />
several hours before going to bed so that you give your brain time to calm down. Try taking<br />
a warm bath or reading a calming, undemanding book for a few minutes to relax your body,<br />
tire your eyes and help you forget about the things that worry you.<br />
You should also aim to go to bed at roughly the same time each day so that your mind and<br />
body get used to a predictable bedtime routine.<br />
Talking can work by either distracting you from your stressful thoughts or releasing some of<br />
the built-up tension by discussing it.<br />
Stress can cloud your judgement and prevent you from seeing things clearly. Talking things<br />
through with a friend, work colleague, or even a trained professional, can help you find solutions<br />
to your stress and put your problems into perspective.
There are various activities that could help you<br />
deal with<br />
One of them is self-hypnosis.
Self-hypnosis incorporates some<br />
of the features of guided imagery<br />
and visualizations, with the<br />
added benefit of enabling you to<br />
communicate directly you’re<br />
your subconscious mind to enhance<br />
your abilities, more easily<br />
give up bad habits, feel less pain,<br />
more effectively develop healthier<br />
habits, and even find answers<br />
to questions that may not be<br />
clear to your waking mind! It<br />
takes some practice and training<br />
but is well worth it. Learn more<br />
about using hypnosis to manage<br />
stress in your life.<br />
Many people exercise to control<br />
weight and get in better physical<br />
condition to become more<br />
healthy or physically attractive,<br />
but exercise and stress management<br />
are also closely linked. Exercise<br />
provides a distraction<br />
from stressful situations, as well<br />
as an outlet for frustrations, and<br />
gives you a lift via endorphins as<br />
well. This article can tell you<br />
more about the stress management<br />
benefits of exercise, and<br />
help you get more active in your<br />
daily life.<br />

To use the example again of an adrenaline<br />
junkie, your habit of trying to fill your days<br />
with multiple competing demands can quickly<br />
spiral out of control. Eventually the brain<br />
develops a tolerance for stress, so you’ll<br />
need more of it to feel the same rush. Ultimately,<br />
you’ll end up constantly pushing<br />
yourself to force your body to release that<br />
burst of cortisol and adrenaline you’ve<br />
become accustomed to. But how do you split<br />
the benefits from the harmful effects?<br />

A 2014 study conducted by the American Psychological<br />
Association found that 42 percent of<br />
MY<br />
adults<br />
GOD<br />
say they are<br />
STOP<br />
not doing enough<br />
TALKING<br />
or are<br />
not sure whether they are doing enough to<br />
manage their stress. Twenty percent say they<br />
are not engaging in an activity to help relieve<br />
or manage their stress.<br />
To manage your stress levels and separate<br />
good from bad symptoms, keep a<br />
positive attitude. Keeping stress to a<br />
healthy level is achievable through the<br />
use of relaxation techniques, including<br />
deep breathing and guided imagery. Acknowledge<br />
your worries instead of building<br />
them up in your mind until you are<br />
overwhelmed.<br />
In addition to thinking positively about stressors,<br />
deep abdominal breathing and training in<br />
meditation and mindfulness, or regulating one’s<br />
own mental and physical states, helps moderate<br />
stress.

nability to focus
Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you sense danger—whether it’s real<br />
or imagined—the body's defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction or the "stress response".<br />
The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations,<br />
stress can save your life—giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident.<br />
Stress can also help you rise to meet challenges. It’s what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration<br />
when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you'd<br />
rather be watching TV. But beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major<br />
damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life.<br />
Fight-or-flight response: what happens in the body<br />
When you feel threatened, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline<br />
and cortisol, which rouse the body for emergency action. Your heart pounds faster, muscles tighten, blood<br />
pressure rises, breath quickens, and your senses become sharper. These physical changes increase your strength<br />
and stamina, speed your reaction time, and enhance your focus—preparing you to either fight or flee from the<br />
danger at hand.<br />
Your nervous system isn’t very good at distinguishing between emotional and physical threats. If you’re super<br />
stressed over an argument with a friend, a work deadline, or a mountain of bills, your body can react just as strongly<br />
as if you’re facing a true life-or-death situation. And the more your emergency stress system is activated, the easier<br />
it becomes to trigger and the harder it becomes to shut off<br />

If you tend to get stressed out frequently—as many of us do in today’s demanding world—your body may be in a<br />
heightened state of stress most of the time. And that can lead to serious health problems. Chronic stress disrupt<br />
nearly every system in your body. It can suppress your immune system, upset your digestive and reproductive systems<br />
increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, and speed up the aging process. It can even rewire the brain, leaving you<br />
more vulnerable to anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems<br />
Health problems caused or exacerbated by stress include<br />
Depression and anxiet<br />
Pain of any kin<br />
Sleep problem<br />
Autoimmune disease<br />
Digestive problem<br />
Skin conditions, such as eczem<br />

Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you<br />
sense danger—whether it’s real or imagined—the body's defenses kick into high gear in a rapid,<br />
automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction or the "stress response".<br />
The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic,<br />
and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life—giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for<br />
example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident.<br />
Stress can also help you rise to meet challenges. It’s what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at<br />
work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free<br />
throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you'd rather be watching TV. But<br />
beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major<br />
damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your<br />
quality of life.<br />
