Stress Relievers And Brain Balance For Your Life

Stress relievers and brain balance for your life

We are all bombarded with noise, constant activity, and stressful situations in modern life. Believe it or not, there are simple techniques that can quickly help anyone of all ages become less stressed with an integrated brain and more balanced throughout the day. Most of us find it very difficult to do and think at the same time when we are under too much stress. When we are functioning at our best, clear messages are sent from all parts of the body to the brain and back in a loop. Kinesiology has been defined as the study of the body in motion. It teaches simple yet profound techniques to turn on the brain-body connection to promote proper balance. This field of study combines principles and techniques from applied kinesiology, acupressure, energy theory, brain research, stress management, and more. Let's take a quick look at your stress backpack. What is there daily? Do you have emotional trauma, fear, or anxiety that you need to address? Are there physical stressors such as shallow breathing, not being able to get enough physical exercise, physical illnesses, or problems? Do you eat or drink on the run because of your fast schedule? Do you have allergies that are causing you trouble? Are you tired or sleep-deprived? Believe it or not one of the number one anti-stress and brain balance is water. Water gives your brain and body the hydration it needs to function properly. Drinking water increases energy and improves concentration and academic skills. There is also a quick workout to help you de-stress and regain balance. Massage under the collarbone, and both sides of the sternum. Then gently massage above and below the lips. You will be surprised how quickly it helps in stressful situations. Another exercise that is one of my favorite exercises for brain balance and stress relief is called Cross Patterning. You do a series of cross patterns and march across the room (if you can) with one elbow touching the opposite knee and the other elbow crossing your body and touching the other knee. Children especially love it and it helps them to focus very quickly. For more information on many simple techniques, look up Brain Gym, developed over 30 years ago by Gail and Paul Dennison. they have books for teachers, business people, parents, and children. They also have a great website called Hearts at Play which I highly recommend.
