30 Days, 30 Ways to Less Stress
1. Minum Teh hijau : Menurut satu kajian dengan hanya minum 10 ounce (aku pun tak tahu ukuran tuh.. agak2 jelah.. kalau aku minum 1 mug kot) boleh bantu kurangkan stress dalam masa 48jam..
This comfort drink naturally revs up the brain’s production of gamma-aminobutyric acid, a neurotransmitter that helps people feel calm, even when surrounded by complete chaos, explains nutrition researcher, Steven Pratt, M.D., co-author of the book, SuperHealth. Ok lepas nie nak cuba minum teh hijau lak.. Buat masa nie aku dah stop minum kopi atau nescafe dan mula minum teh berperisa buah.. mungkin boleh cuba minum teh hijau nie pulak ;)
2. Manjakan atau hargai diri anda : Manjakan diri anda dengan beli sesuatu yang anda suka macam minyak wangi ke, lipstik ke, beg baru ke, barang kemas ke.. makan benda-benda yang teringin ke.. boleh bantu kurangkan stress dalam 24jam..
“That's because these things focus the mind inward, away from anxiety-inducing distractions,” explains Vincent Giampapa, M.D., and author of The Anti-Aging Solution. “And that soothes overworked adrenal glands, reducing their output of cortisol, adrenalin, and other draining stress hormones.” Bab-bab manjakan diri memang aku suka.. selalu juga buat benda nie terutama kalau time memang stress sangat2.. kadang beli kek atau benda-benda yang aku suka makan pun dah boleh release stress paling2 tidak pun.. balik rumah aku masak benda-benda yang aku teringin makan.. Takpe balik mesia aku tau dah ada orang yang aku nak tuntut bab2 makan sedap nie ;)
3. Letak Screensaver yang menenangkan jiwa: Contohnya pantai, laut, tasik, pergunungan atau apa-apa aje yang buatkan anda tenang dan damai.. Nak letak gambar orang tersayang pun boleh.. ikutlah..
"This stimulates the brain to produce alpha waves, electrical impulses that enhance feelings of relaxation and tranquility, say researchers at Britain’s University of Sheffield. And you don’t need to book a tropical cruise to make this stress-busting strategy work for you." Dulu-dulu penahlah rajin letak benda nie.. sekarang nie jadi malas lak.. boleh juga cuba kot..
4. Cuba ambil makanan berasaskan 'Whole Grains': Contohnya kalau yang suka makan roti.. cuba ambil yang jenis roti perang bukan roti putih.. dan yang mana suka makan beras putih.. boleh cuba tukar ke beras perang..Kalau aku kat sini.. memang white bread antara menu utamalah..
“This healthy eating plan calms up to 75 percent of stressed people studied, often in as little as two weeks!” The reason: White flour is so rapidly absorbed by the gut that it triggers wild ups and downs in blood sugar and that stimulates the adrenal glands to pump out an excess amount of stress hormones, explains Dr. Bloomfield. “But whole grains are absorbed a lot more slowly, so they keep blood sugar on an even keel and prevent nerve-jangling stress hormone surges.” Roti perang nie memang rasa dia kesat sikit.. Ok memandangkan aku memang makan roti hari-hari.. aku cuba selang selikan white and brown bread nie.. tapi nasi perang rasanya takdelah cuba kot.. masih maintain makan nasi basmati jek..
5. Berkaki ayam sekali sekala: Simpan kasut anda dan berjalanlah atas rumput, atas pantai atau batu-batu massage yang ada kat taman-taman.. ini membantu stimulate pressure point di tapak kaki dan beri isyarat pada otak untuk rembeskan hormon tenang 'dopamine'.
And research at Britain’s School of Complementary Health suggests that this sort of gentle foot massage can reduce feelings of stress as much as 33 percent. The study-proven strategy: Spend 10 minutes walking barefoot on lush grass, or a soft carpet or wiggle your toes along a fluffy pillow, instead. Bab kaki ayam nie memang selalu pun.. sebab kat umah aku memang wall to wall kapet.. tapi aku memang misslah berkaki ayam pijak rumput atau jalan di pantai.. memang best.. kat sini jangan nak mimpilah pakai selipar sekali pun.. sejuk ohhh.. tapi kalau dapat buat memang best ;)
6. Sentiasa 'keep track' perkara yang merisaukan anda: Sentiasa bawa kertas pad & pen, dan tandakan pangkah untuk setiap perkara yang merisaukan anda. Bila malam hari, kira skor anda.
As you become aware of how much time you waste worrying, your daily score will automatically go down, say experts at the National Institutes of Mental Health. Why? Their research suggests that worrying is a time-sucking habit that people often fall into unintentionally. However, this stress-shedding trick prompts people to become more cognizant of mindless fretting. Alah bab-bab nak tanda nie aku memang malas.. sebab takut nanti bukan makin sikit yang aku tanda tapi makin banyak huhuhu... cukuplah aku tanda dalam minda jek leh ;)
7. Tarik nafas dalam-dalam bila tengok 'dot' : 1 pek stiker dengan titik-tik kecil mungkin dapat menenangkan anda. Bagaimana?
According to Belgian research, spending a few minutes each day breathing slowly and deeply (moving your belly instead of your shoulders) can trigger a 63 percent reduction in stress. “Deep breathing slows your physiological responses, calming the brain and nervous system the same way meditation does,” explains Herbert Benson, M.D., associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. “The problem is that in times of stress, most of us forget to do this.” Oleh itu kalau nampak sebarang bentuk bulat, titik sama ada di komputer, cermin, pintu, tingkap atau apa-apa sahaja, itu boleh dijadikan panduan untuk tarik nafas dalam-dalam dan bertenang. Oh... tarik nafas bila nampak benda bulat?? ok boleh cuba.. depan aku nie banyak benda bulat nie.. jam.. cermin.. dvd.. lampu.. mug.. hahahaha.. jenuhlah aku nak tarik nafas setiap 5 saat ;)
8. Exercise: Ada kebenaran sebab dia boleh bantu kita release stress nie..
Just 30 seconds of intense exercise can tame tension for a full hour, say researchers at California’s Stanford University. That’s because, quick bursts of exercise boost production of serotonin and norepinephrine, mood-elevating hormones that help your brain stay 20 percent clearer and calmer during high stress times, explains Dr. Bloomfield. “Even a quick peddle on a stationary bike, a turbo-fast sweep of the kitchen floor or a quick sprint to the bus stop can give you this great mood boost.” Dulu aku pernah rajin ke gym.. memang berkesan.. tapi masalahnya balik dari gym dan exercise tuh aku stress pulak sebab nak kena masak dan settlekan keje umah hahahaha... yelah pergi gym pun dah petang lepas study kat uni.. paling sikitpun masa aku kat gym 2 jam.. abis kat gym dah pkl 8 lebih malam.. balik nak kena masak pulak.. lepas tuh kena tidur awal sebab esok nak bangun pagi.. lepas tuh aku stop ke gym sebab schedule aku jadi full pulak.. tapi memang masa aku p gym badan rasa ringan dan muscle pun develop best jek.. lari 20min pun takde hal.. skrg nie semua dah out... Aku berazam gak nak buat benda nie balik.. bila aku balik mesia sok.. (ke aku bg alasan yang sama gak esok huhuhu.. Tiny.. sok kita p berenanglah jom..)
9. Makanlah kekacang, coklat dan buahan kering : Suffering from jangled nerves? Start, noshing! According to USDA researchers, trail mixes containing salted nuts, seeds and chocolate chips are the second richest source of magnesium, containing an impressive 235 milligrams of this essential mineral per cup. “And magnesium is a powerful, natural tranquilizer,” explains cardiologist Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., author of Reverse Heart Disease Now. “This nutrient naturally relaxes muscles, lowers anxiety levels and even improves sleep quality.” Start snacking on a few handfuls daily, and Cornell researchers say you could be feeling less frazzled in as little as one week. Baca benda nie buat aku terkejut.. sebab dulu memang snak ini adalah makanan wajib aku kat umah dah uni.. memang aku pasti akan beli snak jenis kekacang nie.. terutama aprikot kering.. mangga.. betik.. kekacang dan macam-macam untuk aku ngunyah masa buat kerja di uni atau di rumah.. tapi stok2 tuh semua dah lama tak beli.. Tak sangka benda2 nie ada kesan pada paras stress level.. kena mula balik kot habit lama nie... emmmm
10.Cakap perlahan-lahan : Menurut kajian untuk berasa tenang.. kita pun kenalah bercakap dengan perlahan dan tenang serta yakin.
Why? Speaking in a relaxed tone of voice has been shown to significantly lower blood pressure, heart rate and stress levels, often within minutes! “Although no one’s sure yet why, a person’s speech has a profound effect on their own mood,” explains psychologist John Garrison, Ph.D., former director of Lahey Clinic’s Stress Management Program in Burlington, MA. “In fact, just speaking more calmly can reduce your own blood pressure as much as 10 percent.” Teknik nie simple.. mungkin ada kebenaran sebab bila kita bercakap dengan perlahan-lahan, ia beri masa kita berfikir dan tenangkan diri.. terutama bila bercakap time marah atau tensen.. Aku rasa betul gak.. terutama bila bercakap dalam bahasa inggeris hahaha.. sebab kalau cakap dalam BM tuh kita laju jek sebab kita tak fikir sangat apa yang kita nak cakap sebab makna dan vocab perkara yang kita nak cakap tuh dah ada dalam kepala.. tapi bila bercakap dalam BI.. kat sini biasanya aku ye nada percakapan aku memang jadi slow.. sebab nak fikir perkataan yang nak disebut.. makna dan juga 'accent' yang nak digunakan hahahaha... sorry 4 thn duk sini.. aku ye accent BI memang takleh tukar.. I'm already sound like local.. ;) so maybe I shud write in english?? Abislah... makin tebal lah kamus yang korang kena beli tiap kali nak baca blog aku nie.
11. Tulis apa yang anda rasa: Just writing about what’s stressing you out can make you feel far less frazzled, says Garrison. “Spelling, grammar, writing style and neatness don’t matter one bit, the trick is to just vent,” he says. “Letting off a little steam in this healthy way can quickly reduce pent-up anger and frustration and that dampens stress hormone output, allowing you to truly relax.” In fact, studies at Stony Brook’s State University of New York and elsewhere show writing about what’s bugging you for just 15 minutes three times weekly is so effective at easing stress, it cuts tension headaches, anxiety and other stress-triggered symptoms almost 30 percent. Ini memang benar.. bila aku stress atau marah.. memang aku rajin menulis hahaha.. tapi terhad kat blog nie jelah.. sebab aku boleh tulis dengan merapu tanpa rasa risau tentang apa yang aku nak sampaikan.. Another side of me ;)
12. Nyanyi dalam bilik mandi : Getting a little wet and wild can lower heart rate and blood pressure, and trigger slower, deeper, more relaxed abdominal breathing, all in as little as three minutes, say scientists at the University of Wisconsin. The connection: When you sing, you naturally inhale deeply and breathe out in a slow, controlled fashion. And scientists say that breathing strategy naturally calms the brain stem and the cerebral cortex, brain regions that help control everything from heart rate and stress hormone output, to muscle tension and anxiety. Bonus: Any kind of music will work. The trick is to simply inhale deeply and sing with gusto! Ini masa duk asrama selalu buat hahaha... kat rumah mak tak pernahlah buat.. rumah sendiri pun tak pernah buat gak.. mana sempat nak nyanyi pagi2 buta pkl 5 time sejuk2 tuh hahahaha.. tapi yelahkan.. menyanyi pun release stress.. aku selalu nyanyi gak bila duk sorang2.. atau sambil2 buat kerja mencuci aku pagi-pagi tuh.. oklah juga tuh kan..
13. Hidu bauan yang wangi : Just a whiff of this sweet scent has been shown to spur a significant increase in stress-reducing alpha brain waves, often in as little as 60 seconds, say scientists at the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. “You can get this powerful effect from sniffing the real flowers, smelling a lavender-scented candle or just by setting a small bowl of potpourri in the room you most often use,” explains lead researcher Alan Hirsch, M.D., the foundation’s neurological director. Secara tak langsung ada betul gak.. sebab pernah gak bila aku bersihkan bilik-bilik kat tempat kerja aku tuh.. ada bilik-bilik yang aku masuk tuh memang wangi jek dengan bauan potpuri.. kadang-kadang terbau wangian minyak wangi staf kat SDS pun aku rasa best hahaha.. lagi satu sebelum tidur aku pun suka letak dan pakai minyak wangi kat badan.. atau sapu lotion yang ada bau yang sedap.. memang rasa best.. Will do this..
14. Tengok wayang : In a study done at Dallas’ University of Texas, 85 percent of people admitted that just crashing on the couch and watching a movie was not only one of their favorite ways to relax, it was also their most effective way of chasing away stress! “Watching an upbeat movie is a fantastic way to relax, escape and get a better perspective on the week’s stresses,” says Garrison. “It allows you to take a mental break from your worries, and problems are often easier to solve once you’ve had a break from them so you can see them more objectively.” So have a movie night tonight -- and call it your stress-therapy! Ini memang dah lama aku tak buat.. tapi sejak kebelakangan nie aku jarang sangat dapat tengok wayang sebab pakwe takde masa jek.. dan dia malas... tapi memang tengok wayang adalah aktiviti kegemaran aku.. Tapi apa pun.. kat umah aku channel movie adalah channel utama yang mesti ada dalam list aku..Tengok movie kat umah sambil dia urut bahu dan leher aku setiap malam pun dah kira best.. kot kalau tengok wayang mana boleh buat cenggitu kan hahahaha... ;)
15. Tidur awal : Surveys suggest 38 percent of people hit the snooze button at least once every morning. And this simple action can be enough to put your stress-o-meter through the roof. Why? Being repeatedly jarred awake is as stressful to the brain as chronic sleep deprivation, since it shocks you awake repeatedly, says Dr. Bloomfield. His advice: Head to bed 30 minutes earlier this week, instead of trying to sneak in more poor-quality winks in the morning, and recent studies reveal you’ll cut your stress hormone output as much as 37 percent Ini memang selalu buat pun.. kalau aku stress tidur awal mmg benda wajib aku buat ;) (pernah aku tidur dari pkl 5.30ptg sampai pkl 2pagi baru bangun)
16. Bercerita perkara yang mengembirakan : Chatting with friends or coworkers about acquaintances, as long as you’re recounting positive stories and passing along praise, helps 96 percent of people reduce their stress levels within 30 minutes. “That type of positive, uplifting human interaction stimulates the brain’s natural bonding instincts, lowering blood pressure and heart rate, and soothing the cortisol-producing adrenal glands,” explains Dr. Benson. Betul juga.. cerita pasal benda-benda seronok.. ketawa.. gelak.. pun memang bantu mood kita.. tapi kenalah cari kawan yang pandai bercerita dan melayan.. tapi kalau takde kawan.. layan blog-blog yang ada cerita kelakar pun best gak.. seronok juga kan ;)
17. Berpegangan tangan : Holding hands for two minutes boosts the brain’s production of oxytocin, a bonding hormone that soothes jangled nerves and lowers blood pressure for an hour or more at a stretch, say researchers at the University of North Carolina. That’s because oxytocin helps soothe the amygdale, the brain region that’s responsible for feelings of anxiety, researchers say. Can’t spot anyone to snuggle? Cuddling a pet for two minutes offers the same stress-shedding effect. Pegang tangan selama 2 minit?? ohh boleh cuba nie.. tapi aku kalau dengan pakwe lagik extreme hahahaha.. aku peluk dia terus.. takat pegang tangan apa kes hehehehe... tapi yelahkan.. apa-apa sahaja yang bantu releasekan stress.. pegang tangan nie aku buat masa nak tidur jek.. satu cara untuk aku cakap dengan dia.. 'I luv U' ;)
18. Kreatif : People who spend at least 20 minutes doing soothing activities like knitting, or scrap booking, enter a light meditative state that dials down their production of cortisol, adrenaline and other stress hormones by 45 percent, helping them feel calmer and more relaxed for up to three hours afterwards, say Harvard researchers. Focusing your mind on simple, constructive fine motor tasks activates the brain waves that calm the adrenal glands, making them less likely to fire out a flood of stress hormones when life throws you curves, explains Dr. Sinatra. Aktiviti yang boleh buat kita kreatif?? kalau aku banyak.. cam menulis.. melukis.. ambil gambar.. tapi dalam banyak-banyak tuh melukis memang paling berkesan sekali sebab dia mmg ada kena ngena dengan mood.. Tapi aku jarang sangat melukis nie.. bukan apa malas hahaha... so aku selalunya turn to taking photo.. sebab itu kalau tengok gambar-gambar yang aku ambil.. semuanya ada makna dan posisi tertentu.. oh ya.. gambar kat blog nie biasa2 jek.. sebab aku ambil guna kamera hp jek.. tapi pada yang dah biasa tengok gambar2 yang pernah aku ambil di sana.. pasti tahu apa yang aku maksudkan ;)
19. Sibuk kan diri : People who putter around the house doing small tasks like sweeping out a closet, sorting through a junk drawer, or organizing their spice rack, burn off so much mood-dampening cortisol that they feel calmer and happier within 15 minutes, say University of Chicago researchers. Knocking some small, nagging jobs off of your to-do list provides a major feeling of accomplishment and that stimulates the brain to produce a flood of the calming neurotransmitter, dopamine. “For best results, select a little task that won’t take you more than 20 minutes to finish,” suggests Dr. Sinatra. Ini pun memang betul gak.. kalau kita ada benda lain yang kita boleh buat untuk lupakan stress tuh.. selalunya aku sibukkan diri dengan masak benda yang aku teringin nak makan hahaha.. camnalah nak kurus camnie ;)
20. Tengok album lama : Gazing at the photo of a loved one can de-stress you in as little as 60 seconds, by stimulating the release of the calming hormone oxytocin, says Scott Haltzman, M.D., author of The Secrets of Happy Families. Can’t cart full-sized photos around on the job? Hang a smaller one on your key chain, attach one to your car dashboard, or tuck one into a pretty locket to look at when you have a harried day. Ini pun best juga buat.. kadang-kadang tengok album lama banyak buatkan kita tersenyum dan ketawa.. banyak album2 aku di mesia.. kat umah ada juga.. memanglah kan.. tengok album lama memang sedikit sebanyak bantu release stress.. lepas tuh sedih lak sebab teringat2 ;)
21. Minum koko panas atau hot chocolate : It’s packed with phenylethylamine, a natural plant compound that binds to brain cells, boosting their production of the calming neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine in as little as five minutes. The study-proven strategy: Enjoy one 8 ounce cup of cocoa daily. Counting calories? Sniff a few squares of chocolate instead. Just savoring the smell of this sweet treat stimulates cannabinoid receptors, tiny receptor sites on brain nerves that alter brain wave patterns, producing a calm, relaxed sensation in less than two minutes, say UCLA researchers. Ini selalu buat bila sampai ke uni.. aku memang akan buat air hot choc.. lepas nie leh selang seli dengan teh hijau lak ;)
22. Pergi berurut atau manjakan badan anda : A five minute daily massage (whether you do it yourself or ask a loved one to help) is so relaxing, it cuts stress hormone production almost in half, and helps women function 50 percent more effectively under pressure, say University of Miami researchers. “The trick is to lie down, relax and do a two-minute body scan, first, mentally checking your body to find the muscles that are most tense and sore,” says Garrison. Why? You’ll get the biggest bang for your buck if you massage the sorest muscles, whether it’s your neck, shoulders, lower back or calves, because applying pressure to tight muscles stimulates the release of mood-boosting, calming endorphin hormones, he says. Berurut siapa kata tak best.. mestilah paling best untuk release stress.. nie menaip entri nie pun dah penat leher aku nie.. ok sat gik nak suruh pakwe urut ;)
23. Berendam di tub : Do you tend to pick speedy showers over leisurely baths, because you always have so much to do after your tub time? Well, consider this: Studies at Florida’s University of Miami suggest that a 20 minute relaxing soak activates the parasympathetic nervous system, a branch of the nervous system that helps calm and soothe the brain, cutting cortisol levels by as much as half and shielding you against stress for up to 12 hours straight! Walaupun rumah aku ada bathtub.. aku sendiri pun jarang sangat nak berendam.. takde masa kot.. bak kata kawan aku.. bukan tak nak berendam.. tapi nanti masa berendam tuh duk fikir lak.. apa nak masak lepas nie.. nak kemas baju.. nak kemas umah. nak itu nak ini.. last2 bukan hilang stress lagik stress hahahaha...
24. Memberus : Dry brushing involves gently rubbing a soft, dry brush all over your legs, arms and back -- and for years, it was considered nothing more than a speedy way to boost circulation to the skin. But now doctors at California’s Stanford University say dry-brushing your legs, arms and back for just five minutes can cut edginess by 25 percent for up to three hours by stimulating thousands of nerve endings that work together to lull the central nervous system into a tranquil state. Their advice: Select a long-handled brush made of natural fibers, like tampico vegetable fibers, to make this stress-buster a breeze. Berus badan camnie tak pernah buat.. tapi kalau takat sikat rambut tuh biasa... pada aku yang ini kalau pergi berurut kira lebih kurang sama kot.. satu lagik.. kalau lah dapat orang main rambut dan urut2 kepala aku pun dah rasa ok lah.. cam berus badan jugalah tuh kan ;)
25. Ketawa : Turns out, laughter really is the best medicine. That’s right, studies show yuking it up with a funny friend dampens stress and anxiety levels 63 percent, making giggles more effective than even yoga. “Shared laughter activates the maternal response in women, increasing their production of calming dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin hormones, plus it soothes the adrenal glands, so they’re less likely to produce a flood of stress hormones every time life gets a little hectic,” explains Elaine Wilkes, Ph.D. Ketawa buat kita gembira.. no doubt about this.. memang ketawa mempengaruhi mood kita kan..
26. Buat senarai benda-benda yang kita suka : Trapped in traffic? People who use chunks of this type of wasted time to jot down five things they’re grateful for spend the rest of their day feeling more optimistic, calmer and happier, thanks to the fact that reminding yourself of some of the blessings in your life automatically dials down your stress hormone output, says Dr. Benson. “And you don’t have to write down the same five things each time,” he says. “A sunny day, a delicious lunch, a loved one’s smile...if it made you feel grateful that day, you’ll reap the benefits by putting it on your list.” Aku lak kalau time takde benda nak buat.. 2 benda selalunya yang aku sering lakukan.. dengar music dari phone dan baca buku.. 2 benda nie memang aku bawa kemana-mana terutama buku tuh ada salinan 'softcopy' dalam phone aku.. anytime anywhere aku boleh membaca untuk hilangkan kebosanan.. buat list pun ok gak.. tapi buat masa nie aku tak suka sangat plan ahead sgt.. aku ye style skrg nie buat based on daily basis... so aku ye list takat untuk hari tuh je ;)
27. Baca puisi kegemaran : Relaying a poem out loud derails anxiety by forcing you to breathe deeply and rhythmically while focusing fully on the words and the pacing of the lines, according to recent research in the International Journal of Cardiology. And that chases away stressful thoughts, lowers heart rate and triggers a state of deep relaxation within 10 minutes. Any rhythmic poem that forces you to take slow, relaxed breaths as you read will do the trick, say the study authors. Aku biasanya suka tulis puisi kalau aku stress.. jarang sangat simpan puisi koleksi penulis terkenal.. maybe bagus juga kot kalau dapat beli buku camtu.. tapi menulis puisi memang mampu ekspress apa aku rasa ;)
28. Lakukan perkara kebajikan : In a recent study, scientists scanned subjects’ brains as they played a computer game that allowed them to make charity donations or win cash. While both scenarios raised levels of the feel-good hormone dopamine, only charitable donations stimulated a rise in stress-soothing oxytocin. Interestingly, people who stand the least chance of their good deeds being noticed, such as those who make quick trips to a Goodwill drop-off box, experience the biggest oxytocin boost, notes Dr. Giampapa. “And that’s because helping others without fanfare activates the genes that elicit the maternal response, one of the most effective ways of soothing your brain when you’re surrounded by chaos.” Ini pun perkara bagus.. bila kita buat benda baik.. pasti kita rasa happy kan.. ;)
29. Makan sayuran : The rhythmic action and fine motor control required to do this task reduces stress by soothing the brain’s amygdala, two almond-shaped nerve clusters that kick-start feelings of nervousness, anxiety and even panic when people are under pressure, say UCLA researchers. Bonus: Ten minutes of chopping will not only soothe your amygdala for up to two hours straight, it will give you enough veggies to make a healthy, soothing batch of your favorite soup or stew! Fakta nie memang tak boleh disangkal ;)
30. Mengeliat atau streching : When your muscles are constantly tense and tight, it stimulates your adrenal glands to produce a steady stream of anxiety-triggering stress hormones like adrenaline. Thankfully, just stretching for two minutes four times daily can relax muscle tension and dial down stress hormone production, boosting calmness and positive moods as much as 60 percent, say Cornell University researchers. To do: Loosen a tight back, neck and shoulders by doing gentle head rolls, shoulder shrugs and arm and leg stretches, then finish by straightening your now-relaxed spine and reaching for the sky with your finger tips, so your lungs can take in several deep, relaxed breaths before you dive back into your busy day. Ini selalu gak buat bila aku penat duduk depan PC.. tapi kalau dapat urut lagi best ;)
Akhirnya... selesailah 30 cara nak kurangkan stress... uihhhhhhhh stress aku nak siapkan entri nie hahaha... ok nak pergi makan ayam panggang dengan lauk daging masak merah masakan pakwe...
Adios.. Cheerio ;)
