In this super fast paced and stress filled world, is it really possible to de-stress?
Several studies and research done on people who incorporate Yoga and Meditation in their daily life – both which have awareness as one of the core principles – say that it indeed is possible to combat stress via these practices!
Stress is primarily caused due to worries and anxieties about things which may or may not happen.
When we dive into awareness, stress does not have a place to stay because it is caused due to being disconnected with the present moment and constantly thinking about another time space – either the past or the future.
Few tips to combat stress in daily life
Start doing Yoga with awareness. Focus on how you feel, which muscle is used, which bone is used.
Walking meditation – walk without the gadgets or music on. Select a space with less distractions and focus on walking slowly and with awareness. Focus on each leg – hand – body movement. Focus on your breath.
Focusing on your breathing. Take up a comfortable sitting position of your choice without distractions. Make sure you are comfortable in this position and focus on your upper lips and feel the air coming in and going out.
Focus completely on what you are doing whether it is washing utensils, reading an article or watching a movie or cooking.
Most importantly, do not suppress any of your natural emotions or urges because they are the ones which are the cause of stress.
