But psychologists emphasise: <strong data-start=\"943\" data-end=\"971\">Stress is a natural reaction<\/strong>, and you can learn to control it.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1016\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1052\">1. Limit the flow of information<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1242\">The brain is not designed for a continuous stream of disturbing news.<br data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1119\" \/>Set aside specific times to watch the news, for example, <strong data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1193\">twice a day<\/strong> - and avoid news feeds before bed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1245\" data-end=\"1358\">Tip: Instead of endless scrolling, try reading a book, listening to music, or going for a short walk.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1363\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1389\">2. Breathe properly<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1696\">Breathing directly affects the nervous system.<br data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1437\" \/>Try the technique <strong data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1466\">\u00ab4-7-8\u00bb<\/strong>Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 and slowly exhale for 8. Repeat several times and you will feel relaxed in a minute.<br data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1592\" \/>You can do the following short breathing practices <strong data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"1658\">anywhere<\/strong> - in transport, at work or at home.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1698\" data-end=\"1701\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1719\">3. Move.<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"2001\">Physical activity is one of the best ways to reduce stress hormone levels <strong data-start=\"1799\" data-end=\"1812\">cortisol<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"1816\" \/>Regular walking, yoga, running or dancing can help <strong data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"1885\">switch attention<\/strong>, and improve mood and sleep.<br data-start=\"1911\" data-end=\"1914\" \/>Even <strong data-start=\"1921\" data-end=\"1956\">15-20 minutes of activity per day<\/strong> enough for the body to feel relief.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2006\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2008\" data-end=\"2049\">4.

Practice \u00abemotional disconnection\u00bb<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2325\" data-end=\"2561\">Try it at least once a day <strong data-start=\"2354\" data-end=\"2395\">switch off your phone and social media completely<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"2396\" data-end=\"2399\" \/>This helps the brain to \u00abreboot\u00bb and regain its ability to concentrate.<br data-start=\"2477\" data-end=\"2480\" \/>You can combine this time with a cup of tea, your favourite music or a short meditation.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2563\" data-end=\"2566\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2568\" data-end=\"2606\">6. Monitor sleep and nutrition<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2608\" data-end=\"2882\">Lack of sleep and overwork increase anxiety levels.<br data-start=\"2662\" data-end=\"2665\" \/>Psychologists advise you to stick to the regime <strong data-start=\"2705\" data-end=\"2730\">go to bed before 23:00<\/strong>, avoid gadgets an hour before bedtime.<br data-start=\"2766\" data-end=\"2769\" \/>A balanced diet, plenty of water and a minimum of caffeine are also your allies in the fight against stress.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2884\" data-end=\"2887\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2889\" data-end=\"2925\">7. Do not hesitate to ask for help<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2927\" data-end=\"3136\">If you feel that it is difficult to cope on your own - do not hesitate <strong data-start=\"2978\" data-end=\"3024\">consult a psychologist or psychotherapist<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"3025\" data-end=\"3028\" \/>Timely support from a specialist can help you avoid emotional burnout, depression or panic attacks.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3138\" data-end=\"3141\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"3143\" data-end=\"3154\">Bottom line.<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3156\" data-end=\"3396\">Stress protection is not an escape from reality, but <strong data-start=\"3206\" data-end=\"3244\">Taking care of your internal resources<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"3245\" data-end=\"3248\" \/>Allow yourself to slow down, recover and remember: <strong data-start=\"3304\" data-end=\"3393\">resilience starts small -
