Yes, when I moved abroad, I also felt this kind of stress, and it was a very tough time for me😥. But somehow, I learned to manage my stress with a few tricks. Those tricks and practice helped me a lot, so I’ll share them with you as well.
Deep Breathing
Deep breathing is a quite simple method that you may do anywhere, at any time. To calm the body and mind, it entails taking deep, steady breaths, focused on each inhalation and exhalation.
- Comfortably sit or lie down.
- Close your eyes and take a four-count breath through your nose.
- Hold for a second, then exhale to the four-count through your mouth.
- Repeat this a few times, paying attention to how each breath feels.
Meditation
Meditation is one of the oldest methods of reducing stress that is still available. There are many separate types of meditation, such as transcendental meditation, loving-kindness meditation, and mindfulness meditation.
- Select a distraction-free spot and settle into a comfy chair.
- Remind yourself to focus on your breath or words whenever your thoughts roam.
- For five to 10 minutes.
Yoga
Yoga promotes deep relaxation and well-being by mixing physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation.
- Try easy poses like Legs Up the Wall, Cat-Cow, and Child’s Pose.
Visualization
The practice of visualizing calm, relaxing images that help in relaxation is known as guided imagery. It functions by diverting the mind from troubling ideas and enabling one to concentrate on pleasant visuals.
- Close your eyes and take a comfortable seat.
- Consider any beautiful area, such as a garden, a beach, or a forest.
- Immerse yourself in the scene for at least a few minutes before you open your eyes.
