STRESS Stress isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It can be healthy when it helps you avoid an accident, meet a tight deadline, or keep your wits about you amid chaos. Severe, frequent, or prolonged stress can be mentally and physically harmful. Here are some simple ways to relieve stress and anxiety. 1. Exercise: Regular exercise can help lower stress and anxiety by releasing endorphins and improving your sleep and self-image. 2. Write it down: Keeping a journal can help relieve stress and anxiety, especially if you focus on the positive. 3. Spend time with friends and family: Having strong social ties may help you get through stressful times and lower your risk of anxiety. 4. Learn to say no: Try not to take on more than you can handle. Saying no is one way to control your stressors. 5. Learn to avoid procrastination: Prioritize what needs to get done and make time for it. Staying on top of your to-do list can help ward off procrastination-related stress. 6. Listen to soothing music: Slow- paced instrumental music can induce the relaxation response by helping lower blood pressure and heart rate as well as stress hormones. o to meet a deadline = to finish work on time, by the agreed date: hoàn thành một công việc nào đó đúng hạn o to be mentally and physically harmful: có hại cho thể chất và tinh thần o to relieve stress and anxiety: giải tỏa căng thẳng và lo lắng o to keep a journal: viết nhật ký o social ties = connections among people that are used for sharing information, knowledge, feelings, and experiences: các mối quan hệ xã hội o to lower your risk of ...: làm giảm rủi ro/nguy cơ bị gì o stressor (n) = something that causes stress: tác nhân gây căng thẳng o procrastination /prəˌkræstɪˈneɪʃn/ (n) = the act of delaying something that you should do: sự trì hoãn, chần chừ o to make time for something = to make certain you have some time when you are not busy in order to do something you think you should do: dành thời gian cho ... o blood pressure = the pressure of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries: huyết áp Source: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/16-ways-relieve-stress-anxiety SYNONYMS o to lower stress and anxiety » to relieve stress and anxiety » to get through stressful times o soothing music » slow-paced instrumental music
