Feeling stressed and don't want to do anything? Try these 3 things to get back to a good mood!

Nowadays, people's pace of life is generally faster

Many people are in this state

Things are chasing behind, people are running in front

High pressure has become the norm

However

Not everyone is aware of their stress.

Let’s see if you have these symptoms first.

●Habitually procrastinate when something happens. Feeling uncomfortable if you don’t procrastinate, but regretting it if you do;

●Suddenly fell in love with sweets, a loyal fan of fried chicken and "happy water";

●Want to be alone, but also want to be accompanied by others;

●Male mood swings, prone to losing temper with people around you;

●Desires decline, and you feel like nothing is interesting or you don’t want to do anything, and even your hobbies are not exciting at all;

●Always feel tired, still tired after resting.

All of the above may be manifestations of excessive mental stress. If you find yourself with these problems, you must be careful.

If all of the above situations exist...if the situation is so serious, don't be stubborn and seek counseling from a psychological professional.

If you are unable to relieve stress for a long time, psychological problems will snowball and may even eventually affect your physical health, leading to some "high-pressure symptoms."

Dry skin, acne breakouts

The skin is easily affected by anxiety, which can lead to water loss, poor blood circulation, and excessive secretion of cortisol, which can cause the skin to become dry and prone to acne.

So if your face suddenly starts to peel and break out, in addition to reflecting on whether there are any problems with your diet and skin care, you should also ask yourself if you have any concerns recently.

In addition, the incidence of skin diseases such as vitiligo, psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema is also closely related to stress.

Headache

Headaches caused by mental stress are called neuralgic headaches. As for where the pain occurs on the head, it varies from person to person.

The pain may be on both sides of the head, the temporal lobes on both sides, the back of the head, the top of the head, or even the whole head. The main symptoms are distending pain, tightness, explosion, dull pain, soreness, as if something is strangling the head.

Gastrointestinal disorders

It may lead to gastric acid secretion disorders and insufficient blood supply. People may easily feel bloating and abdominal pain when eating. Some people may also experience symptoms such as constipation, acid reflux, and vomiting.

Muscle soreness

Neck pain, shoulder pain, and back pain are not only related to your walking, sitting, and lying posture, but also to mental stress.

Excessive stress can affect skeletal muscles, causing muscle soreness or even cramps, which may also be a major cause of your back pain.

A major cause of bruxism is mental stress, which not only causes excessive wear of the teeth, but may also cause problems with the tooth bite function.

In addition to the above symptoms, there are also familiar symptoms such as sleep disorders and chest pain, both of which often occur in patients with great mental stress.

So, now you know how important it is to relieve stress. Stress not only makes you depressed inside, but also makes you physically depressed.

According to a survey of 1.2 million people's sports data published in The Lancet and its sub-journals, there are three types of sports that are more cost-effective and efficient when mental stress is high:

Aerobics: Any popular gymnastics or dances on the Internet are fine, requiring less space and accompanied by music. It is more effective when combined with strength training.

Cycling: You can do it during your commute to get off work. It also allows you to be outdoors, which helps relieve stress.

Team sports: Sports that require teamwork, such as football, basketball, and volleyball, can help patients integrate into the group and relieve negative emotions.

If you really don't have the conditions to carry out these activities, then walking or taking a stroll will also work. The most important thing is to move and not just sit there and do nothing.

Don’t wait, why not try it starting today and get back to your good mood as soon as possible.
