DEADLINES, PHONE calls, lovers’ tiff, tension at office, traffic jams! We all have our share of worries but we also have ways to cope with them.
Here is what you can do:
Raise a glass
Not alcohol but water. Drink atleast 2 litres of water a day. It soothes your nerves and flushes out the toxins. Dehydration leads to tiredness which in turn will make you irritable. Then water is a saviour.
The lakeside view or the sea seashore often comes to your rescue.What is more, even the gurgling sound of a fountain works wonders in alleviating tension.
Fragrant facts
Aroma therapy is catching on these days. Even models and other hi-fliers use this therapy to destress. Whenever worries put you down, light aroma candles in your room and listen to music. The ambience will give a soft healing touch to your troubled mind. Even light body massage helps in relaxation of the muscles… feel the worries melting.
Choose what you want
Try to divert your attention from the worries. Make an appointment with your beautician for manicure/pedicure or a facial. If this is not possible, try yourself out in grooming. Put a few drops of aroma oil in your bucket and the medicated bath will have the much needed effect to vapourise all your tensions.
Eat up
Do not be too strict with yourself. Give yourself a treat. A little scoop of ice-cream once in a while does not harm. But cut back on coffee/tea. Instead have some herbal tea.
Potter about
Do things you really like. Painting, ceramic, fabric printing or playing with clay, all have great therapeutic value.
Yoga karma
It is not that only sadhus practice yoga. In fact it is one of the best alternative therapies available in India. Apart from increasing suppleness, yoga also helps clear the mind of all tensions.
Meditation medication
Meditating for even fifteen minutes a day is great to reenergise the mind and body. Join meditation classes to learn this art. Feel the tranquility.
