Rest and Mind
Last update date February 22, 2023
What is stressful?
Various reactions that occur in the mind and body trying to adapt to external stimuli (stressor) on the mind and body are called stress reactions.
Stretchers and stress reactions vary from person to person. In order to reduce the stress response, it is important to have an approach to solve and eliminate stressors and an approach to increase stress tolerance (to learn how to deal with stress).
Stress response
Not only the mental side, but also in the body and behavior.
Let's increase stress tolerance! Let's get along well with stress
Let's find and experience "unusual"
- Travel
- Take a walk nearby
- Not the usual way, but on a road that has never been passed
- I went to the first store and shop.
- Immerse yourself in movies and reading
Let's have little fun.
- No matter how busy you are, you will have 30 minutes a day.
Rest is important!
Get enough sleep and tiredness is important not only for physical health but also for mental health. It would be nice to have a relaxing time in the day.
Two aspects of "rest"
"Rest", that is, the aspect of restoring the fatigue of the body and mind and returning it to its original vibrant state.
"Nourishing", that is, the aspect of cultivating spirit and enhancing physical, mental and social health.
