Stress-Busting Tips That Everyone Should Try.
In life, chronic stress is one of those things that can massively impact our sense of well-being in all the worst ways. Simultaneously it can cause us to experience health problems, and an inability to properly structure and navigate our lives as we see fit.
There’s a lot to be said about the best ways to reduce stress. This may include using products like Bloom Farms Wellness CBN for an acute, short-term effect. As well, it may include finding ways to restructure your life as a whole so as to bring it into a more harmonious balance.
Here are some stress-busting tips that everyone should try. They are quite universal in their application and benefits.
Spending time in nature on a regular basis and connecting with the transcendent
Often, when we are under a lot of stress, we can feel isolated, alone, and frightened. Often in a variety of different ways, and for a variety of different reasons.
“The transcendent” is a term that we use, in part, to describe a state where we are lifted above the ebb and flow of everyday life and its troubles and are connected with something higher and greater.
Whether you think of the transcendent as a metaphysical reality or just the psychological state, the fact of the matter is that people do have transcendent experiences. These experiences frequently help to give them a deep and enriched sense of meaning in life. Additionally, they help them to overcome the stress, frustration and worry that might otherwise be faced.
Spending time in nature on a regular basis is one of the most consistent ways of connecting with that sense of the transcendent, but, of course, there may be other approaches that seem to work better for you.
Connecting with a sense of the transcendent can work wonders for your ability to reduce stress. In turn, you will find it easier to add depth and meaning to your life.
Adjusting your diet to manage your stress hormone levels
Whenever we are feeling stressed – and especially when we are feeling chronically stressed – it’s important to recognize that there are a number of different processes occurring simultaneously. This is true at the physical and psychological levels.
When you have elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your body, you will naturally feel more anxious. In turn, you will have a harder time relaxing. It will be harder to take a step back and deal with things in a more balanced and nuanced way.
Certain diets have been found to increase cortisol levels, in particular high-protein, low-carb diets.
Try adjusting your diet to help you to manage your stress hormone levels. In this, you will become more resilient to stress as a whole.
Setting and pursuing valued goals
Setting and pursuing valued goals can be a brilliant stress-busting technique. It helps us to overcome fatalism and learned helplessness. As well, it helps us to regain a sense of control in our lives.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, and are just “going with the flow,” setting goals that you genuinely care about, and working towards them, is a great idea.
