In the contemporary world, we all are going through the motions of the hustle and bustle of daily life, fighting our own battles in different ways. 

‍

However, sometimes situations can get out of hand, and when we feel powerless to influence our surroundings, we lose a sense of control, which can be detrimental to our wellbeing. This makes us lose our peace of mind and we tend to get anxious about the small things while ignoring the big ones. 

‍

During these times, it is imperative to maintain our patience and serenity to stay calm in order to effectively deal with things with a pragmatic approach. 

‍

Why it is so Challenging to Calm Down in Times of Stress?

‍

The major reason why people find it difficult to calm down is anxiety. One of the most common mental health disorders, anxiety can cause hinderances in logical thinking, decision making and more, and can compound stress responses within an individual. People suffering from anxiety tend to lose their cool easily due to their anxious nature. People suffering from anxiety have a habit of overthinking which makes them feel tensed and distracted. 

‍

Whether or not you suffer from anxiety, we can all relate to the feeling of being out of touch with our logical minds in times of stress. Here are a few easy techniques to help you maintain your calmness and stay cool during tough times.

Listen to Music 

Music plays a vital role in maintaining the mental well-being of an individual. Listening to your favourite music can make you feel relaxed, as well as uplift your spirit. 

‍

Whenever you are feeling stressed or anxious, just plug in your headphones, close your eyes and allow yourself to be transported to a different world, where you will find nothing but serenity. 

‍

Try Working Out or Engaging in any Physical Activity

Engage yourself in any physical activity, for instance:

‍

• Walking
• Running
• Jogging
• Playing a Sport
• Going to the Gym
• Dancing

‍

This will not only mitigate your stress but also develop a sense of freedom of thought. Physical exertion releases serotonin and dopamine in the brain, making you feel positive and energetic. Sweat your worries away, and give yourself a well-deserved break from the ongoing tensions. 

‍

Take a Warm Water Shower

‍

Sometimes, soaking in warm water can help release pent-up stress. Taking a hot water shower has known to make one feel comforted and fresh. It will lighten up your mood and make you feel at peace. 

‍

Talk to a Loved One

Effective communication can solve a lot of problems. Having an open conversation with a person who understands you and who can help you find the appropriate solution to a problem can go a long way towards finding peace. 

‍

Pen your Thoughts in a Journal

If you are not in the mood to communicate with someone or just want some space to work through your problems, writing down your thoughts has been statistically proven to be an effective therapeutic technique. Sometimes, venting out your feelings on a piece of paper can help you work through your issues without the interference of others, which can go a long way toward making you feel calm and composed.
