Dali konong ma-stress ang mga senior citizens!

Kaylagi, daling saputon ang mga senior citizens, ambut ngano, mugbo na kaayo’g pasensiya, dali ra usab ma-stressed. Mao ba ni? Niay gikan sa Internet, sa Yahoo homepage, tambag unsaon ka pagpakalma, sa higayon nga magpuot na ang imong dughan gumikan sa stress, ug gumikan sa imong pagsapot kay taas kaayo ang linya sa imong pagdawat sa cash assistance. Giulohan kini og Seven Steps to Instant Calm. Ania:

Shift your focus. When you're feeling tense, you may get the (unproductive) urge to mentally replay what went wrong over and over in your mind. Sayop ni. Shift your focus to your body instead. Find a quiet place to sit down, and concentrate on feeling the seat beneath you. Then take long, deep breaths from your diaphragm; try inhaling through your nose for a count of four, holding for two, and exhaling through your mouth for seven. Exhaling longer than you inhale deepens your breathing, which helps calm your nervous system. Bisag dili ka stressed, mahimo mag-practice ka sa deep breathing.

Get a move on. Take a break, and walk up and down a few flights of stairs, or sign up for that kickboxing class you've been dying to try. Then cool down from your routine with some mellow music. Research suggests that your brain waves will sync up with the slow rhythm, putting you in a meditative state.

Snack right. During stressful times, it's human nature to want to treat yourself to a piece of cake. But it's more important than ever to stick to your healthy eating habits. Sugary munchies spike your blood-glucose level, making you feel even more jittery. So, dili maayo ang tam-is. Chomping on crunchy (but healthy!) snacks helps you release pent-up frustration.

Phone a friend. Spending time with pals helps our bodies pump out the feel-good hormone oxytocin. So meet up with a friend at the end of a crazy-busy day, or call during your lunch break. Even better: Make time to hang out regularly-you'll get a continuous boost to your well-being. Just don't turn your talks into bitchfests; ranting will get you worked up again.

Get out! Holing up at your desk can make you get stuck in "I'm overwhelmed!" mode. Simply breathing some fresh air can improve your outlook, helping you deal with tough situations more calmly. Step outside and enjoy the head-clearing moment rather than thinking of all the things you have to get done. If there's a garden nearby, stop and smell the flowers. Ayaw paglumlom sa balay o sa opisina. .

Prep for bed. You know how it goes: Just when you lie down for a good night's sleep, all your worries come rushing back. And the lack of sleep only makes you feel more anxious. To combat this vicious cycle, reach for a pad and pen, and jot down any negative thoughts or to-dos that pop into your head. Getting your thoughts on paper actually helps you put them aside.
