Anxiety often gets the better of us and with this thing going on for days on end it becomes really hard to get other chores done but here’s how you can deal with stress at home.
If you are looking to find ways out of your stress while at home then this piece is for you. Everywhere around the world people were stuck at their homes due to the pandemic as soon as the government issued orders for complete lockdown putting restrictions on any movement except for the essential services which although kept people safe but left negative impact on mental health.
Mental health is very important because like physical health, it’s all about your wellbeing and if you have stress, there won’t be any immediate symptoms rather signs would start showing quite a bit later on helping you discover that you are suffering from stress or anxiety.
We humans haven’t been made to stay alone and no matter how strong someone thinks himself/herself, deviating from the normal routine would really get to you. However, here are a few tips to get rid of the stress that has been making you go cuckoo all lockdown.
Exercise happily
Exercise is known as a great mood changer because it allows ample circulation of blood throughout your body helping your brain get the essential breakthrough it requires to think away from stress. Stress is basically just worrying about future events or thinking about past events that you don’t have any control over now.
Exercise not only takes your mind away from it but instead blesses you with good health and fresh air, all too important for a good life. Remember that 90 minutes of exercise, in any form, would ultimately help you get rid of stress, take it from someone who has gone through the same all these months.
Talk to others
There’s always someone you can talk to so you should never feel alone and when you want to talk to someone, just do it. Don’t wait and think that the other person might feel bad or that he/she would be busy, just pick up the phone or walk over to their place and let it all out. Once you are done talking to friends or family you’d feel really light and the stress that you were thinking about, would also start to loosen its grip on you.
Keep a note of caffeine
Often we don’t notice but the more caffeine we take, the more we are prone to stress and anxiety as caffeine is associated with heightened senses and making you feel all jittery, something that you don’t want especially when you are all alone in the middle of a pandemic.
Watch comedy
There are a hundreds of comedy shows that can keep your mood light and refreshed all the time so tap onto that remote button, find your favorite entertainment and enjoy it all. You just don’t need to watch comedy; you can choose anything you like generally but nothing sad or depressing.
Follow all the precautions
Although you might have developed obsessive-compulsive disorder about staying clean, but still you don’t need to keep following hygiene rules by washing hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water as recommended by centres for disease control and prevention CDC. Now for this purpose, you can either use bar soap or soap dispenser or hand wash, all are fine you just need to keep your hands clean and free of germs.

These hormones we often get from touching someone we love, with a sense of achievement, through someone appraising us, from exercising, and by coming in contact with nature. Now if you are suffering from stress, make sure to do all these things and you’d be better in no time.
