3 simple ways to unwind this weekend

The weekends have arrived! If you are looking for a way to cope with all the stress you somehow managed to accumulate over the week, this article is just what you are looking for.

Do you feel frustration from sooooo many outlets (clients, your superiors and subordinates)? Do you even remember what you’re feeling vexed about? Here’s a few ways you can get on top of the negative feelings and stay positive!

By penning down your thoughts, it helps to identify and classify your emotions. It reduces stress and serves as a boost to your mental health. However, do take special care in NOT lose the book! If it falls into the wrong hands, it might just end up informing your “favourite outlets” about your frustration. We all know some things are meant to be private.

Breathe in the fresh air Mother Nature gifted us. Take in the breath-taking view at the top (if there is a hill you can climb). According to the research from Stanford University, this acts as a “positive distraction”, lifting your mind off the negativity. Consequently, it serves as a mood-lifter and reduces anxiety.

And here’s one for the gamers. Take some time this weekend to indulge in the video games! Contrary to popular deduction of “violent games cause players to be violent”, as it turns out, playing DOTA aids in stress management! According to a study by Texas A&M International University, following a stressful task, these players react with less hostility and were less depressed! How’s this as an excuse for your mum to stop nagging at you for being glued to your video games?

All the entrepreneurs have a difficult time managing their stress levels, so take this advice to heart and hopefully you’ll feel happier!
