All of us in one way or the other are busy running the rat race of money. Nobody has time to look after their health. Times have changed, unlike the past when people gave the priority to their health, today people have more inclination towards earning money and health is at the end of their priority list. This attitude is creating several health issues among people. People fail to realize that if, \u2018wealth is lost nothing is lost but if health is lost everything is lost. Many of us do not pay attention towards our health either because we do not have an inclination towards it or else we find it time-consuming to pay special emphasis on our health. One major issue that many people are facing today is stress. Be it a kid, youngsters, middle aged or the elderly, all are facing stress. Yes, it might seem a petty issue but believe me, it is not. If you are suffering stress you need to deal with it right away and there is nothing tedious that you have to do about it. There are simply few things that you need to do. Here is a list of top 10 most effective ways to combat stress:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>1.Meditate<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/silenttruth.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/meditation-for-liberation-1.jpg\" alt=\"most-effective-ways-to-combat-stress\" width=\"1459\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One leading cause of stress is anxiety. There are several things that happens throughout the day, all these leave an impact on your mind. This impact turns soon into stress if not dealt with. Simply, you need to take control over this anxiety. The only way to do this is to meditate. You need to practice this for few minutes per day.\u00a0 Meditation alters the brain\u2019s neural pathways thereby making you more resilient to stress. You simply have to sit up straight with both feet on the floor and close your eyes. Then focus your attention on reciting a positive mantra. Additionally, place one hand on your belly to sync the mantra with your breath. Let all the distracting thoughts float by and do not allow them to settle at one place.<\/p>\n<h2>2.Breathe Deeply<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.robinskey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/breathe7.jpg\" alt=\"most-effective-ways-to-combat-stress\" width=\"864\" height=\"319\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yes, breathing can help a lot. You need to take out 5 minutes from your hectic schedule and then focus on your breathing. Simply, sit up straight and close your eyes. Place your hand on your belly. Then slowly inhale through your nose and feel the breath start in your abdomen. See how the breath impacts the working of your mind positively. Follow the same process as you exhale through your mouth. The benefit is that the deep breathing counters the effects of stress by slowing the heart rate and then lowering blood pressure<\/p>\n<h2>3.Be Present<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/img13.deviantart.net\/498d\/i\/2013\/032\/c\/4\/live_the_moment_by_ddesignslovenia-d5tg9dm.jpg\" alt=\"most-effective-ways-to-combat-stress\" width=\"1024\" height=\"647\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You simply need to slow down yourself in this face paced world. It is rightly said that live in the moment. Also, this saying is one of the most effective ways of reducing stress. The Past is gone and nothing much can be done about it and what future has in hold for us is also unknown. The only thing we can mold is present, so you need to stop stressing about things and just live the moment. Just take 5 minutes and focus on only one behavior at a time with awareness, be it how the air feels on your face when while walking or your feet hitting the ground, the texture of the food or taste of each bite.<\/p>\n<h2>4.Reach Out<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.l4leadership.com\/l4\/wp-content\/uploads\/helpinghand.jpg\" alt=\"most-effective-ways-to-combat-stress\" width=\"847\" height=\"567\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nothing can beat social networking in reducing stress as it is one of your best tools for handling stress. You simply need to talk to others and most preferably face to face, or at least on the phone. Share things with others and look at the same thing from a completely new perspective.<\/p>\n<h2>5.Tune Into Your Body<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/uberhealthblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bg-Banner.jpg\" alt=\"most-effective-ways-to-combat-stress\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stress not only impacts your mental health but also your physical health. Take out time and pay attention towards every body part. See how your actions impact each body part. Lie on your back, or sit with your feet on the floor and then start at your toes and work your way up to your scalp. Simply be aware of places you feel tight or loose without trying to change anything. Take a deep breath and see how each of your body parts reacts and repeat the process for 1 to 2 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>6.Decompress<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/articleabouthealthblog.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/07\/back-pain-6.png?w=736\" alt=\"most-effective-ways-to-combat-stress\" width=\"736\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now this one is a little practical dealing with exercise. Place a warm heat wrap around your neck and shoulders for 10 minutes and then close your eyes. Relax your face, neck, upper chest, and back muscles. Remove the wrap, and use a tennis ball or foam roller to massage away tension by placing the ball between your back and the wall and then leaning into the ball. Hold gentle pressure for up to 15 seconds. Then move the ball to another spot, and apply pressure.<\/p>\n<h2>7.Laugh Out Loud<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.gse.io\/gse_media\/111\/5\/laugh-out-loud1.jpg?c=1&amp;h=520&amp;p=1&amp;q=60&amp;w=920\" alt=\"most-effective-ways-to-combat-stress\" width=\"920\" height=\"520\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Laughter is surely the best therapy and it is difficult to laugh your stomach out if your brain is constantly working at stress. Laughing lowers cortisol, that is the body\u2019s stress hormone, and boosts brain chemicals called endorphins, which help your mood you can simply indulge in those activities that make you laugh.<\/p>\n<h2>8.Crank Up the Tunes<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/img.gawkerassets.com\/img\/17fulwatydzfcjpg\/original.jpg\" alt=\"most-effective-ways-to-combat-stress\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It has been proven from several types of research that listening to soothing music can lower blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety. All you need to do is create a playlist of songs or nature sounds, obviously the ones that give you peace and allow your mind to focus on the different melodies, instruments, or singers in the piece. You can also lower the stress by simply letting yourself loose and singing at the top of your lungs.<\/p>\n<h2>9.Get Moving<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/media.newsela.com\/article_media\/2017\/01\/exercise-risk-warriors-d47a34d8.jpg.885x497_q90_box-0%2C215%2C4154%2C2550_crop_detail.jpg\" alt=\"most-effective-ways-to-combat-stress\" width=\"885\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All forms of exercise, including yoga and walking, can prove to be of a great help to ease depression and anxiety by helping the brain release feel-good chemicals and by giving your body a chance to practice dealing with stress. Move your body to different angles whenever you get a chance to do so.<\/p>\n<h2>10.Be Grateful<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/alive-woman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/getleanin12-4fc4c2c1-019b-4b18-aefc-8592f11ee2f3-v2.jpg\" alt=\"most-effective-ways-to-combat-stress\" width=\"960\" height=\"472\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Maintain the records of all those things that you are grateful for. Be it huge or pretty, make it a habit that instead of cribbing, you thank God for whatever you have.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, the above mentioned most effective ways to deal with stress will help you get rid of these.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this era of technology and globalization, people have adopted a lifestyle that is too hectic.
