Hey, hey, hey!
Today we are back with new tricks and hacks on how to prevent or deal with stress at the workplace. And our current “guest” is USA
Shortly speaking the American dream, is that if you work very hard, you will get success, money and recognition. But what’s the price of that? Did you know that the USA is ranked in 13th place with 52% in the list of the most stressful countries? It is curious to find out the methods they use to get rid of negativity:
– Acceptance – well, first of all, it may sound corny, but they admit that there is a problem and you may agree that this is the first massive step towards healing or dealing with the issue. No one’s yelling and screaming that work stress is a myth or it exists only for weak people. Admitting problems is considered “emotional maturity” in America. Starting almost from the school bench, children are taught that such problems exist, to admit this kind of experience – it is not a sign of weakness, but a normal human reaction.
– They visit a psychoanalyst – Americans usually do not search for a shoulder to cry on among friends or colleagues. The best decision is to visit a psychoanalyst who will help solve problems so that they will not come back repeatedly. This is an inseparable part of American life.
– Exercise – one of the top reasons Americans say they exercise is to reduce stress. Over a quarter of adults say they work out to reduce stress. Working out releases endorphins, prompts mindfulness, and boosts one’s mood—all of which can help mitigate stress symptoms.
– They are socially active – The average American woman usually gives money to charity, participates in local government, agitates in elections, attends church, volunteers, or even becomes a campaigner for the rights of some disadvantaged group or against some global negative trends such as pollution.
– Handmade – Americans appreciate things made with their own hands. They love dealing with stress by making handmade handicrafts and giving them to friends. And, of course, to receive such gifts, keep them carefully and appreciate them. Isn’t it lovely?
Yay! That was for the USA. Hope you liked our investigation and will be with us in future posts as well.

Indian solution
Namaste dear friends!
Today we prepared some Indian tricks and hacks against burnout and stress. It is quite logical as it is precisely ancient Indian people who discovered that stress is nothing but the inability to control our body, mind, emotions and vital energies.
The ancient Indian knowledge base in the form of Vedas, Upanishads, Vedangas, Puranas, and Bhagavad-Gita deals with fundamental human problems and has solutions to almost every possible problem that we are facing nowadays. Let’s take a look together at how they managed to fight against negative emotions and stressful situations.
Mindfulness: first of all, Indians do believe that we are the ones who create peace and harmony within ourselves. One has to learn the cheat code of his/her body, how to follow the inner voice and intuition and prevent negativity from entering our life.
Breathing techniques: yoga and meditation are among the most popular ways of de-stress and it is barely impossible to imagine an Indian who has never practised one. There are a lot of “Pranayamas” that can immediately destroy energy blockages in different parts of our bodies and bring harmony and serenity to our minds. Breath is such a vital part of yoga and meditation because it is considered a measure of our life. It stands to reason that controlling our breathing would then help lower anxiety, reduce stress, and make it easier to sleep.
Laughter: in India, they prefer to relieve stress with laughter or a simple smile. Indian laughter is a whole technique, a set of practices, with the help of which a person learns to fool himself and laugh like a child, by «turning off» his mind. In some companies, there is a special laugh therapy session at the beginning of each working day.
Indian massage: Indian head massage is a treatment that focuses on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck, and shoulders. It originates from an Indian alternative medicine system called Ayurveda, (science of life), whereby it is believed that the mind and body are intricately connected and thus can influence one another. Through this theory, it is understood that Indian head massage can not only reduce headaches and improve physical well-being, but it can also improve mental and emotional wellness too.
As we may see Indians live by the principle: “If life gives you a lemon make lemonade out of it” . Never be sad, never despair, try new ways to solve a problem, believe and you can manage anything.
So, isn’t it the right time that we turn to ancient Indian wisdom to destress ourselves and lead a happy life?
