Keeping Calm in High-Stress Moments

25th April 2022

If we are lucky, the big stress moments will be few and far between in our lives, but sometimes, the smallest thing can feel big after a long day. 

When all of those small things start building up, it’s not long before your stress levels can feel uncontrollable and cause you to snap, lose sleep, and lose the ability to concentrate on everyday tasks. 

So if you only have a few minutes to cool it, here are a few things that you can do to quell those stressful moments.

Lavender

Love it or hate it, lavender is well known for the ability to calm us, soothe us and keep us relaxed. When you only have a short amount of time and can’t indulge in a bath, a big sniff of something lavender-scented can work wonders. 

Keeping some lavender essential oil in the form of a rollerball and applying it to your pulse points can help you to return to a state of calm. 

If you can’t stand lavender, then rose and ylang-ylang can be effective too. 

Talk it out

If you have a friend that is always there and the type that is happy to listen to problems, then type out a text or give them a call. Let them know how you are feeling at the moment. 

Often talking out the issue can bring a lot of relief. Once we have expressed how we are feeling and why we are feeling that way – we can often find it easier to rationalise the problem and create a solution. 

It helps if the friend you call is a funny one so that you know you will likely end up laughing by the end of the venting session. 

Supplements

There are so many supplements on the market now that are designed to help reduce our stress levels and help us to relax. But when you are in the middle of your day and need an extra calm boost, https://www.cbdoilking.co.uk/shop/cbd-vape-pen is perfect. Alternatively, you can try Bach’s remedy or CBD oil under the tongue.

Move

Ever noticed that it can feel like you are a tightly wound coil when you are in a high-stress situation? Fans of Grey’s Anatomy might recognize the term dance it out. 

Sometimes when it all becomes a bit too much, moving our body, throwing our arms around, and having a short burst of dance can get rid of the pent-up energy. 

You don’t have to be good; all you have to do is move. 

333

If your stress is breaking through and heading into anxiety, then the 333 methods can be a winner. It is a quick and effective way to help you ground yourself. All you need to do is think of, say three things you can hear, think or say three things you can see, and tap or move three parts of your body. 

This takes the focus off the problem and puts it onto something else for a moment. You can do this multiple times or start out by doing 8 of each.

Those are just a few of many great options when it comes to centering yourself at the moment; here are a few more: 5-Minute Tricks To Help You Relieve Stress and Get Back To Your Day.
