In today's fast-paced life, people often face stress and anxiety. Some are worried about their work and some are worried about their family. In America alone, 40 million people are suffering from an anxiety disorder.

 

In such a situation, we must try to remove stress and anxiety at our level. This will give some rest to the body and mind. For this, instead of getting upset, we should accept anxiety. New York neuroscientist Tara Swart has given some tips to eliminate stress and anxiety. She says that when you feel stressed, take a long breath through your nose and hold it for 5 seconds. Now breathe again for one second and hold for 3 seconds. Exhale slowly in 6 seconds.

 

By doing this exercise 3 times, carbon dioxide comes out better. The body gets rest. Long exhalation increases the pressure on the receptors of the heart. A message is sent to the brain to slow down the heart rate. The second exercise is the Half Salamander. For this, sit in a comfortable position and look in front. Without turning your head, look with your eyes to the right. Now turn the head also to the right and stay like that for 30 to 60 seconds. Now do this exercise in the other direction as well.

 

Practicing the 5-5-5 formula also reduces stress

Think of five things you see around you. Listen carefully to the five sounds you hear around you. Move 5 parts of the body, such as rotate the ankle, twitch the ear, and move the head up and down. This exercise may sound funny but it gives relaxation to the body and mind.
