How to relieve stress?

Many soldiers will find it difficult to take the military academy exam. The expectations of their families, their own demands on themselves, and the fierce competition all mean that soldiers must be under a lot of pressure to review for the exam. We need to find ways to relieve stress so that review can continue in a positive manner.

Of course, there are many ways to reduce stress, and each person's use may have different effects. Here I would like to share some of the more effective methods I have used before:

1. Listening to music and learning at the same time

This does not mean that any music will do. First of all, it should be something you like more and listen to more. Secondly, it should be soft. If you can listen to soft music, it would be best. If you can listen to classical soft music, or newage music, it would be even better. At the same time, the sound should not be too loud, as long as it can be heard clearly. In this case, the existence of music will often be ignored when studying. While studying, due to the stimulation of music, changing your own rhythm can relax your mind without affecting the efficiency and speed of brain thinking, and can even increase it. As long as you adapt to and use this method familiarly, your learning efficiency will definitely double, and you will not feel so tired.

2． Logical learning arrangements

This refers to arranging learning logically and procedurally to a certain extent when not in class, that is, when self-study, homework, or independent study. It can be allocated according to type, such as mathematics, Chinese, English, and physics. Or according to the amount of learning, do the smallest amount first, or the largest amount, and then increase or decrease the amount. You can also learn English according to your own level. It is best to learn English first to give yourself confidence and enthusiasm. Or if you are worst at physics, learn physics first. When you study first, you are usually in better shape and can overcome difficulties with your best condition. Of course, these are not static. Different logical methods can be used in different periods and situations. You can even use a two-level logical sorting, such as learning the subjects with the greatest amount first, learning the least mastery of each subject first, etc. Mastering this method can make learning feel more systematic and organized, so that it is less likely to be confusing and less tiring.

High learning pressure is often accompanied by a large amount of learning. There is an old saying that "it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers." In this way, by quantifying the learning content, the task can be completed to the maximum extent.

3. Self-motivation

This self-motivation method sounds a bit self-deceptive, but I personally think it is quite effective. You can post some slogans in eye-catching places where you study. It is best that these slogans are familiar to you and can inspire you. Of course it doesn’t have to be a famous aphorism. I remember this sentence was posted on my desk when I was in high school: You have to bend down to pick up money! This sentence has always inspired me. So no matter what kind of language it is, as long as it can inspire you and stimulate you to study hard. When motivation is sufficient, stress is naturally ignored.

Of course, slogans are not everything. You can also often say something to yourself that can inspire you. You can post your idol's picture in a prominent place in the room and tell yourself that you must catch up with him! Or use someone to set a goal for yourself. For example, if you are second in the class, then tell yourself that you can surpass the first person! This kind of goal should be designed to be relatively practical and feasible, but at the same time challenging. In this way, you can maximize your learning motivation.

Of course, the methods listed above are for reference only. You are a unique individual and you must have your own special stress-reducing methods.

Actually, I think if we find better learning methods, the learning pressure will naturally be reduced a lot. If you always feel stressed, you can also relax appropriately. I personally prefer sports-based relaxation methods, such as playing ball, running, etc. This can promote blood supply and circulation to the brain and help the brain maintain a better state. I don’t advocate playing computer games or watching TV, because these methods cannot fully relieve the brain.

At the same time, if some large blood vessels and nerves in the lumbar vertebrae and spine are not properly unblocked through activities, they will not be able to maintain the oxygen supply to the brain at a high level, and the human body's own physiological structure creates the most suitable It’s standing and walking around. Sitting for a long time is not good for the body. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "sitting for a long time damages Qi, lying down for a long time damages the strength".

It is undeniable that people are destined to endure various pressures. Stress has become a popular topic in today's society, but heavy study pressure should not make your life eclipse. On the contrary, you should deal with it positively and optimistically, face the pressure of study without fear or complaint, and use correct and practical methods. Ways to decompress yourself and let the pressure drive your learning engine to run at high speed.

Everyone’s learning environment is different, so the above method is for communication and reference only. Soldiers can develop stress reduction methods based on their own review situation in the army.
