Releasing or reducing stress is another kind of stress. A stressed patient gets puzzled to see many options to alleviate stress and at the end of the day, he/she can’t choose any option to help himself/herself. Choosing a perfect way or step to make you calm and relaxed can be challenging too.
As we know, there are many options to choose from but we should select our preferences like what we want. If we want to get cured permanently then we have options and if we want to get cured for a temporary time or gradually then we have another kind of options.
Many of us have a perception that every kind of stress-reducing method is the same. But this is not a true thought. According to research from 1995, three scientists have published that all the techniques of managing stress are not the same and they assured us that every single way has a specific effect on our mental health. This research was published by State University, New Jersey.
They evaluated every technique on required patients. They found out that specific techniques have a specific effect on stressed patients. Specific treatment can change their cognitive behavior in a specific way. The physical change and mental improvements could happen for the right stress management technique. Stress management systems can be divided into three parts-
1. Short term strategies
2. Fast-acting strategies
3. Long term strategies
These three methods have different approaches to different people and a stressed person should adapt his/her requisite strategy.
SHORT TERM STRATEGIES:
You can be stressed because of your child’s nagging, you can be stressed because of your over-thinking moments, you can be stressed for not making the desired amount of money, and also, you can be stressed for your hectic office days or for your pathetic boss. Anything can make you stressed and it depends on you to release yourself with some short term techniques. These techniques are like doing shorter meditation, practicing progressive
muscle relaxation, focusing on your breath, taking a regular walk, etc. These short-term strategies will give you short-term relief from your stresses and you can try them easily in any places like the office, home, etc. if you are determined to fight with stress.
Short-term methods have a different effect on your health. Like meditation and focused breath can help you to reduce panic attack level and the other short term habits like walking or exercising can increase your rate of sleeping to make you more active and also you can have a relaxed moment to think positive.
Short-term procedures can help you to reduce your daily life stresses. These strategies are for procrastinated people to take baby steps day by day. Short methods will lead to adapt the bigger steps. Also, if you try properly and everything goes well then you can even be happier to make these strategies turn into your habit. Short term techniques can make you confident by making you believe that stress is your weak enemy and you can win over it. Students, officeholders, and new moms should try these methods to be relaxed and calm. Stress can make your life hell but don’t get annoyed and relax a
bit and let the relax do your tasks.
FAST-ACTING STRATEGIES:
We all want immediate relief from our stresses. It is not possible with any fast acts but you can try them to stay in your present moments. You can try them to feel relaxed for time being, no need to be tensed over for a long-term solution. Try the below-mentioned techniques for having a fast relief from your exhaustive stress.
Listening to your favorite song, dancing on your favorite song, taking a nap in between work, hugging your favorite person, or smelling essential oils like eucalyptus oil can enhance your mood by releasing a good amount of oxytocin hormone. A better amount of oxytocin can release your stress for a specific time being. Also, you can try aromatherapy to lighten up your mood.
These fast-acting strategies can help you to alleviate your stress through positive hormonal changes. These techniques don’t give you any physical control but they can provide you a good concentration level. Also, if you want to decrease your headache or if you want to be less overwhelmed with your stress issues, then try these methods.

It is true that these ways can’t work for a longer time and it’s always not possible to take these steps but who doesn’t want an instant solution? So, try to control your anxiety with fast-acting techniques to not getting short breaths in an emergency situation.
