We all have a little (or maybe a whole lot of) stress in our lives. The way we deal with that stress is crucial to our well-being.
我們在生活中或多或少需要面對些許壓力。如何去應(yīng)對這些壓力對自身來說十分關(guān)鍵。
So keep that nail-biting at bay. There are many quick and easy activities that reduce your stress level and keep cortisol levels in check. Believe me when I say that if you take time during your day to de-stress, you will not only feel better but you may even improve your memory and shrink your waistline. Here are eight stress-relievers I love, for daytime or bedtime, they each take just a few minutes to do!
別再感到束手無策啦。有很多快捷簡單的運動能減輕你的壓力，恢復(fù)皮質(zhì)醇的指數(shù)到正常水平。相信我，如果每天抽出一點時間來做減壓運動，你不僅感覺會更爽，還能提高記憶力和減少腰圍。下面是一些我喜歡的減壓方式，白天晚上均可采用，都只需花費幾分鐘而已。
1. Try the eight-count breath.
試試八秒鐘呼吸。
Breathe in as you (silently) count to eight, hold your breath for a heartbeat or two, then slowly exhale as you count to eight. Repeat. This super simple exercise is incredibly powerful and can help you improve your memory and manage stress.
先用八秒鐘的時間吸氣，然后屏住呼吸一到兩秒鐘，再慢慢地花八秒鐘的時間呼氣。重復(fù)。這個超級簡單的運動有著你意想不到的能力，可以提高記憶力和減輕壓力。
2. Stretch and practice proper posture.
伸展以及練習(xí)合適的姿勢。
Both help to relieve pain, de-stress, relax your muscles and energize your body. In many ways, they are the basis for overall fitness. Try rolling your head from side to side, doing some toe touches and pulling your arms across your chest. And a few posture pointers: Stand straight, hold your shoulders back and keep your tummy in.
這都能有效的減少痛苦，降壓以及放松肌肉使身體充滿活力。很多時候，這都是健身最基本的姿勢。試著把頭左右轉(zhuǎn)動，腳趾運動，胳膊交叉于胸前。有一些動作要點：站直，挺胸收腹。
3. Brew some tea.
泡杯茶。
There's nothing better than getting cozy with a calm cup of tea. Green tea has an amino acid called theanine, which sends your brain into a state of relaxed alertness that allows you to get a deeper sleep and respond to stress more calmly. Too hot? Make it iced.
沒有什么比靜靜的喝一杯茶更爽的事情了。綠茶富含一種叫茶氨酸的氨基酸，可以讓大腦進(jìn)入放松的狀態(tài)，從而能讓你進(jìn)入深度睡眠，減緩壓力，更加鎮(zhèn)靜。太燙了？那就試試冰的。
4. Light a candle.
點蠟燭。
Aromatherapy can help to decrease stress levels, and lavender has been shown to decrease cardiovascular conditions associated with mental stress. If you typically stress eat, hold your left nostril while smelling a candle's scent. This activates the side of the brain where emotions are processed and can help to reduce anxiety and appetite.
用香料按摩能減少壓力，已經(jīng)證明薰衣草可以減輕心血管問題，從而降低精神壓力。如果你的飲食過于壓力化，點一根蠟燭，用左鼻孔來呼吸一下吧，這樣能幫助這一側(cè)負(fù)責(zé)調(diào)控情緒的大腦有效減輕焦慮和食欲。
