Mental illness? I often itch when I close my eyes, so I have to keep my eyes open and dare not sleep.

I can see that you have ideals, ambitions and pursuits, and at the same time you have put a lot of pressure on yourself.

I'll teach you a few ways to reduce stress, and you'll get better slowly.

1. Sit down and have a rest

Even if you sit still for 5- 10 minutes a day, don't do anything. Focus on the sounds around you and your feelings. Do you feel uncomfortable in any part? When you sit still, your heart rate slows down and your blood pressure drops, that is, the symptoms of stress have slowed down and you have the ability to control the situation. When the situation is out of control, it is also the most stressful time. We can't change the past, but we can grasp the present.

laugh out loud (LOL)

Hold something in your hand that can make you laugh, such as a joke book, or you can recall a comedy movie you watched ... When you laugh from the heart, the stress hormones cortisone and adrenaline in your body begin to decrease and your immunity increases. This effect can last for 24 hours. Interestingly, when you have a hunch that you are going to laugh, this effect has already begun.

listen to music

When you accept an important task, listen to any melody you like. If you can't play music in the workplace, take a small radio or a tape recorder with headphones when you leave home.

There was an experiment in Australia: two groups of college students were asked to prepare a report. One group is quiet at work, and the other group has music. Both groups of college students are very nervous at work. The blood pressure of college students preparing for the report rises quietly and their pulse accelerates, while the blood pressure and pulse of those who work while listening to music are stable.

4. Think of beautiful things.

Take a little time, even if it's only five minutes, and focus on the people you cherish or the happy things. You can also conceive a picture of "quiet vacation". Even some words or sentences with high self-evaluation are effective. Thinking about good things can prevent stress changes from forming in the body. We often feel mental burden because we can't get rid of bad emotions: dissatisfaction, injustice, worry, anger and so on. Think more about the people you like and make yourself happy, and the effect will be completely different.

go on foot

Get up from the table or sofa, even if you walk for a few minutes. Experts have confirmed that walking helps to calm the mind. It is observed that a group of volunteers are responsible for taking care of the mentally retarded elderly. This is a stressful job. Volunteers walk four times a week, with little anxiety, much better sleep quality and normal blood pressure. It doesn't matter if you can't spare half an hour for a walk every day. When you feel nervous, walking for 5 to 10 minutes will also have obvious effects. Walking for a few minutes when you feel nervous at first is the most calming effect.

Slow down breathing

Slow down breathing for 5 minutes and take a deep breath with your abdomen, about 6 times per minute, that is, inhale for 5 seconds and exhale for 5 seconds. Breathing is fast and shallow when you are stressed. A few deep breaths can straighten shoulders and relax muscles.

The breathing rhythm of "5 seconds inhalation -5 seconds exhalation" is consistent with the natural circulation of blood pressure fluctuation 10 second. This synchronization not only makes people calm down quickly, but also benefits the health of cardiovascular system.

If you can't even squeeze out this time, experts also suggest that you draw a white dot on your watch or clock. When your eyes fall on the white spot, take a deep breath two or three times. You will be surprised to find that you will calm down immediately.

Get up easily

Before lying down to sleep at night or waking up in the morning, relax in bed for 5 minutes: tighten your toes first, and then relax gradually. Followed by the soles of the feet, calves, thighs, buttocks, until the upper body and facial muscles.

You get nervous in the morning, so don't try to relax all day. When you lie down to sleep, you always think that problems will affect your sleep quality, which will increase your mental burden. Therefore, it takes 5 minutes to relax at the beginning and end of each day.
