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 />

Yoga is one of<br />

the oldest<br />

practices<br />

around,<br />

dating back<br />

over 5 thousand<br />

years! It<br />

practices of<br />

several other<br />

stress management<br />

techniques<br />

such<br />

as breathing,<br />

meditation,<br />

imagery and<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 />

N0 M0000M<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 />
