Pilates And Stress Relief
You will find out about the three essential things that most people don’t know about stress.
Respiration
This can be called the most important element of effective stress management in conjunction with the Pilates 6 Principles. What unites physical exercises and deep meditation? Exactly! It’s the correct breathing.
Exhale deeply right before a stressful moment, it will relieve the upcoming stress quickly and effectively. When exhaling try to let out most of the air from your lungs, once lungs become “empty” quickly inhale a bit of air. This breathing out causes a mini cell suffocation which provokes a feeling of well being.
Positive is always better than the negative
If you’re faced with a violent video, look away! If you can listen to some classical music. Please do! Make it a rule of thumb, anything good comes before bad.
Youth is known for it’s kindness and affection. Many wonder why. They were not exposed to all of the negative elements that are out there (at least yet). So lets learn from the kids and surround ourselves by nice things.
Seeing things from the side
Say you come back from a long day at the office and notice that nobody greets you when you come back home. One person may assume that it’s because nobody loves him/her any more. Yet, for someone else it might indicate that the other person is exhausted or sick too tired to be cheerful. What would you think? People are free to assume good as they are to assume the bad.
Sometimes you need to challenge your beliefs and assume something is good rather than bad. It will put things into perspective and it’s something which is often needed in our hectic lives. A good example is the royal tradition called the “3 moons”, it consisted of waiting 3 days before confronting someone after a disagreement took place.
They believed that 3 nights allowed them to see things in another light. Now you have the royal secret and hopefully you will use it.
