Ecotheraphy
By this term we mean healing and growth nurtured by healthy
interaction with the earth.
Outside activities like doing a bit of work in your back
garden, taking walks, hiking, spending more time outside the
house, you connect
with nature and it improves mental
health. This is very beneficial to those suffering from
depression, stress and anxiety.
Sex
Whoever said you can’t have sex after work or a long day is
wrong getting in on the action won’t just be a physical
joyride, it calms the mind. Sex lowers
your low blood pressure, reduces tension,
relaxes your mind and body, reduces heart attack problems
and prostate cancer and makes sleep easy.
Please don’t fool around in other ways or abstain from sex because
your body releases love hormone(oxytocin)
Work can be very stressful, having intercourse daily for 2weeks help cell growth in the hippocampus, a part of the brain that keeps stress levels under control. “Sexually active people take
fewer sick days,”
says Yvonne K.
Fulbright, PhD a sexual health expert.
Eat healthy
Stress and nutrition are always linked up together. By
eating healthy we mean a nutritious healthy diet.
Few examples of food we can take to avoid stress are: Sunflower
seeds, spinach, almonds, asparagus, shell
pistachios and crack
walnuts are good sources of vitamin E&B which helps prevent
oxidative stress
by working together with a group of nutrients
that prevent oxygen molecules from becoming too reactive,
like vitamin B&C .
Time with family
Many
people when they get home first thing is to check mobile messages--from there email,
facebook etc. They are forgetting
about the children or partners they have.The little time they have is shared
between family and gadgets-kind of saying ‘well am home care
enough to be home with you, but not having enough time to give you my full
attention’
The face to face talk with your loved ones reduces your stress and
is important. Sit down and chat.
Get an instrument
Having
an instrument increases self control and is good for children as well. Going
for music lessons can be a great way to
increase willpower. You can have a piano, guitar, brass or woodwinds etc.
Willpower is often a muscle, and the more it is used that’s
the stronger it becomes.
Get enough hours of
sleep
Stress can upset the balance between sleep and wakefulness. Here can’t say much as people differ.
