You are stressed out quickly and could even get upset right now? Do not worry: you can stay relaxed! With these tricks you can easily keep calm.

  • The kids are in the back seat, while in front of you, it’s just AN IDIOT, WITHOUT FLASHING!
  • The train arrives in a minute and YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS STILL SOUL-RISING AT YOUR TIP, LET’S FINALLY GOING TO RUN!
  • The system has been updated and NOW IS YOUR WORK THE LAST FOUR HOURS AWAY!

To remain relaxed in such stressful situations – unfortunately many people can only dream of that …

But there is hope, even for the most irritable nerve bundles and permanent frustrated ones among us: serenity can be learned! Maybe not overnight, but where there is a will, mindfulness, and practice  , there is definitely a way in that case. So: breathe quietly and Ommmmm!

Stay cool: The best tricks

These tips and relaxation exercises can help you to stay relaxed and to relax in the long run. And especially at the stressful beginning of a path towards inner peace is usually any practical help worth gold.

1. One question

If you’re just 180, just ask yourself the following question:

  • What exactly is it that excites me so much?

This forces us to stop and reflect on the situation . Most of the feelings of frustration and stress already cool off and we are a little more relaxed. In the ideal case, we even find that the situation is in fact half as wild as it initially felt.

2. Laugh

“What does the big pen say to the little pen?”

“Crayon.”

Joking aside: laughter free ! So even if you are more likely to go out of your skin or go to the ceiling, try to find something that you can laugh about if possible. And when in the end it just becomes a crazy frustration laugh – even that relaxes and lets steam out of the kettle.

3. The 4-7-8 method

Actually, this breathing technique should help you fall asleep, but in case of emergency, we can also use it for relaxation and stress reduction. This is how the method works:

  • Lay tip of tongue on top of upper incisors
  • exhale once through the mouth
  • Close mouth
  • Inhale through the nose and count to four
  • Hold your breath and count to seven
  • Exhale through the mouth and count to eight
  • repeat until we are more relaxed (or sleep …)

Give it a try – it will not work for everyone, but maybe for you.

4. Stimulate thymus gland

WHAT THE …? No trouble, we’ll explain what that is!

Protected by the sternum, the thymus is located approximately in the middle of the chest and produces messenger substances that increase our mental performance . By gently tapping on it for a few minutes , we can encourage them to increase the production of these hormones. When she does that, we notice that we are breathing intuitively, or rather reflexively, deeply. As a rule, this has a relaxing effect on the body and mind  – as always, when our mind and our thoughts above our emotions win … or not! 

5. Talk about it

The classic in almost all situations and situations:  Just let it out and chatter your stress and frustration so much of the soul! But beware : It can happen that you run into total misunderstanding – or you suddenly do not even see your problem, now that you’ve said it … But at best, your counterpart has some advice to help you deal with it . Or it even takes away some of your problems directly!

Important: No matter where you begin your change and your path to a serene future, please take this one tip to heart: Do not stress too much of yourself and do not be annoyed by your irritability!

Not only does it hurt your self-esteem, it also adds extra stress to it. Ultimately, your impulsivity and frustration have something positive: both shows how much energy you have! And with so much power, you can certainly learn to control them.
