How to fight with the stress?

1)Start your day stress- free

1) Wake up in the morning before 6:00 a.m.
2) Empty bowel and urine
3) Wash your face, giving special attention to the eyes.
4) Brush your teeth, scrape your tongue and rinse your mouth. This is also a good time to drink a cup of water.
5) Perform abhyanga (ayurvedic oil massage).
6) Because it's best to wait an additional 10-15 minutes for the oil to soak.

8) Do Surya Namaskara or Yoga Asanas.
9) Practice deep breathing or Pranayama.
10) Have breakfast -- apple or pear and warm cereal is ideal.
11) Then leave for your office/work

2. Create an Armor against Stress
Abhyanga is an excellent way to build resilience to stress. If you don't have time for the full body massage, at least massage your hands, feet, and neck region .These are major stress areas.

3. Meditate to Release Stress
While all parts of the daily routine are important, the Pranayama & meditation are the most effective way to reduce stress.

4. Calm Anxiety with Therapeutic Aromas
Therapeutic aromas work very well in relieving stress and have a proven calming effect. Flowers in the home also create a natural soothing aroma.

5. Listen to Serene Music
Music has a vital effect on your nervous system, mind and emotions. You should listen to melodies of Gandharva Veda music, which align biological rhythms with nature's rhythms. When you listen to music for its therapeutic effect, keep the volume low. Increasing the volume causes noise pollution and actually increases stress.

what exactly is Gandharva Veda music?

Vaidya Aparna S. Pattewar said...

Gandharva music is the expression of the eternal music of Nature. It is the music that is in alliance with Natural Law. If you can hear the music of Nature as the sun rises, as it shines in the fullness of the midday, as the soft shadows of late afternoon spread across the land, if you can hear the sun set, the deep silence of midnight, the stillness of early morning and the first awakening of the dawn, these are the melodies and rhythms of gandharva music. They match perfectly with the cycles of Nature and the changing rhythms of Nature that govern the evolution of all levels of creation, from the minute to the ever-expanding universe.
