it can be reduced by following some procedures as are set forth below:-
To redue the stress of time pressure,set priorities for yourself.There are things that have to be done and things would be nice to do.You must learn to take some things out of the necessry category and tret them as nice to do.
For a quick relief from anxiety and stress,slowly breaths in through yournose,comfortable expnding your abdomen first and then your rid cage and release the breath through your nose(more slowlythan you let it in) and silently say,Relax.Do this for a munute every time to tension rises and in a few months you will automatically begin brathing slowlyand deeply during these moments.
Feeling irritable lately? Tired from the moment you get up in the morning? Making more mistakes than usual? If so,it's time for some time off.Take a vacation,even if you n get away for only a long weekend.But don't habitually wail untill you are overloaded with stress before taking vacations.That will only contaminate your experience.
Limit your desire.Shorten the list of your needs.These are root causes of most mental stress and anxity
Get caught napping. Naps are greatly underrated stress relivers in our work-oriented culture.A University of Athens Medical School study found that men who napped at least 30 minutes a day had a 30 per cent lower risk of heart attachs than non-nappers. Here's how to get the most out of your naps.
Limit your nap to 60 to 90 minutes.
Never force a nap,but try to develop a "naptitude" for 10 to 15 minute naps.
Don't nap in the morning,late afternoon or evening. The ideal nap time is 2 to 3 p.m. if your get up at 6 or 7 a.m.
Exercising for 40 minutes can result in reduced stress levels for upto three hours. An equal period of rest and relaxation reduces stress for only 20 minutes.
