Natural Anti-Stress Methods To Stay Zen

Be zen, stay zen; what are the natural anti-stress methods to stay zen? Let’s discover together all the secrets to staying calm.

Staying calm

We aspire to find our serenity and be zen even though we are constantly under stress. We experience the feeling of being overwhelmed, overworked, under pressure at work and sometimes at home, attacked by noise, pollution, news that spouts disasters and bad news all day long… To ensure our well-being, we must learn to ignore all these daily aggressions. Which are so many reasons to succumb to depression and discouragement.

Let’s get into the habit of not letting ourselves be overcome by negative thoughts. Let’s relearn how to remain zen in all circumstances. There are techniques for this purpose, such as that of the “signal gesture”.

This is a technique in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) or in sophology to deal with stressful or unpleasant situations. You can actually use this gesture as an anchor point. It’s about linking an internal reaction to an external gesture. Take the example of anger (internal reaction) and clenching your fists to control your anger (external gesture). Clenching your fists is the signal gesture. The goal, in fact, is to choose a positive feeling or situation and associate it with a simple gesture. We will use this simple gesture every time we face a difficult or stressful moment to trigger a feeling of calm and well-being.

Organizing and carving out time for yourself and with those you love, eliminating negative and toxic thoughts that act like poisons, not devaluing yourself, these are the right attitudes to be zen. We can diffuse essential oils in living rooms for an atmosphere conducive to relaxation and exchange. Adopt a positive attitude, meditate and indulge in yoga. Also, set up a Feng Shui space, relax as soon as possible, surround ourselves with things that we love and that soothe us. Discover all the secrets to staying calm.
