Feeling stressed? Go outside! Being in and around nature can bring down your heart rate, blood pressure, stress hormones, and even muscle tension.
We do this all the time, but to use your breathing to find stillness, be more careful and conscious about it. Pay attention to the rhythm. If you take short, quick breaths, try to move toward slower, deeper ones. Put your hand on your belly: You should feel it rise and expand as you draw air in, and fall as you let it out. Shoot for about six breaths a minute.People with home aquariums say they feel calmer, more relaxed, and less stressed when they gaze at their fish, and science backs it up.
This can also improve sleep and may even ease headaches and stomachaches.Whether it's a member of your family or a therapy dog, a friendly pooch can make you feel less anxious, tense, confused, and restless. When you pet and play with them, it seems to lower levels of stress hormones. One reason could be that your body releases oxytocin, a hormone that plays a role in bonding and trust.
