Peace, only peace!
Intensified physical and mental activity, especially in a stressful situation, often causes the appearance of a persistent focus of excitation in the central nervous system. And if a person, in addition, is naturally rewarded with anxious and suspicious character traits, then do not go to a neurologist - he has increased nervous excitability.
It is impossible to completely eliminate stress and overexertion from our lives. But it is quite realistic to harden your body so that it can easily withstand any cataclysms. To bring the nervous system to a stable state, follow simple rules.
1st rule. get enough sleep. The main symptom that the nervous system has become excited is insomnia. Accordingly, in order to prevent loosening of the nerves, you need to follow a sleep schedule: go to bed and get up at about the same time, and spend at least 7-8 hours in bed. However, these figures are rather arbitrary, since someone needs 6 hours of sleep to feel fresh and rested in the morning, while another needs at least 9 hours in bed. To sleep easier and more soundly, you should not go to bed soon after a heavy dinner, and also immediately after doing active work (whether physical or mental). It’s good to give your brain time to prepare for sleep beforehand, to relax a bit. A warm bath with aromatic oils or herbal decoctions, light entertaining reading in bed at night is what you need. And here computer games it is better to postpone to an earlier time. For soothing baths, hawthorn flowers, valerian, calendula, peppermint, oregano, motherwort, nettle leaves, etc. are suitable.
2nd rule. Avoid Noise. Many of us get so used to the TV being on that we hardly notice it. But information, sometimes of an aggressive nature, pouring from the screens, places an additional burden on the nervous system. Turn on the "box" only to watch programs that really interest you, and the rest of the time, let the music sound at home. Better classic. Recordings of sounds of nature are also suitable. By the way, such an audio design is more useful than even complete silence. This was found by Australian scientists who conducted a study with a hundred student volunteers on the eve of the exam. Experience has shown that those who practiced in silence had more rapid heart rate and breathing and higher blood pressure than those who listened to classical music. So Mozart will help you!
3rd rule. Spend more time outdoors. Our brain, although it weighs no more than 2% of body weight, absorbs 18% of the oxygen received by the body. And this means that long walks in the park or in the forest are vital for everyone who is forced to strain their brains a lot and fruitfully. And also for those who are experiencing a difficult psychological situation at home or at work. Too lazy to walk alone - get yourself a four-legged friend.
4th rule. Use medicinal plants. To make nerves stronger than ropes and eliminate insomnia with increased nervous excitability, a decoction of calendula - 1 tbsp. a spoonful of flowers in a glass of boiling water, insist for an hour. Drink half a glass of infusion warm before going to bed. Motherwort is no less effective: pour 15 g of grass with a glass of boiling water. Insist 20 min. Drink 1 tbsp. spoon 3-5 times a day.
St. John's wort also has antidepressant properties. The course of treatment with tea from this plant is 4-6 weeks. 2 tbsp. spoons of dry chopped grass should be poured with a glass of cold water, covered, heated in a water bath to a boil, boil for 3 minutes, set aside, insist 30 minutes, strain and drink half a glass 3-4 times a day.
Well, and finally, a recipe for the lazy: you need to take a pharmacy tincture of hawthorn and valerian fruits, mix in equal proportions. Take twenty drops diluted in half a glass of water at bedtime.
5th rule. Change your diet. Nerves will become stronger if you enrich your diet with B vitamins and nicotinic acid, which are especially necessary for the proper functioning of neurons. Vitamins of group B help relieve excitement, relieve fatigue and improve memory, composure and attentiveness, increase learning ability, and prevent stress. The best source of this vitamin are legumes, especially soy. By the way, soy is also rich in lecithin, useful for the normal functioning of the nerves and heart. There is also a lot of lecithin in the germs of various grains. Calcium will help the nerves a lot, which promotes the transmission of impulses through the nervous system.
Lack of calcium is expressed in increased anxiety and irritability. Calcium enters the body with milk, cottage cheese, cheese and kefir, it can be obtained from plants in greens, celery, beets and almonds. Another useful element for the nervous system is iodine. They are rich in berries, cauliflower, buckwheat, sea fish, algae.
6th rule. Go in for physical education. Daily physical exercises not only develop muscles, strengthen ligaments, the skeletal system, but also discipline, and therefore help to become more balanced and calm. And, in addition, when the muscles work, the body secretes hormones of happiness - endorphins. This natural remedy for stress, which is secreted by the brain, has a beneficial effect on the state of the autonomic nervous system. So step march!
7th rule. Look at life philosophically. Learn to be reasonable and accept failures and mistakes as a natural part of life, do not go to extremes, do not despair. To have strong and healthy nerves, try to think positively.
Negative emotions loosen the nervous system, weaken the internal forces and paralyze the will. Well, positive, respectively, on the contrary. Remember: everything that is done is for the better!
8th rule. Learn proper breathing. Breathing is considered correct not with the chest, as most of us are used to, but with the stomach, more precisely, with the diaphragm. Compared to chest breathing, it provides a more complete saturation of the blood with oxygen, performs self-massage of the abdominal organs, improves intestinal motility, and has a calming effect on the nerves. To master it, you need to imagine that your stomach is balloon, and try to slowly inflate and deflate it several times. It’s better to start training lying down - it’s easier, and then you can move on to breathing while sitting and standing. Over time, it will be easy for you to do this even at the workplace.
9th rule. Apply water procedures. Nothing strengthens the nervous system like swimming, as well as wiping - in a word, any contact with water, because it tempers, soothes, stimulates the nerve endings in the skin.
A cool shower is useful in the morning - it strengthens and tones the central nervous system. In the evening, before going to bed, a soothing warm shower or bath is best. A good workout for blood vessels, nerves and the whole body is a contrast shower.
Almost 50% of our health depends on lifestyle. What do you think, what kind of lifestyle does the vast majority of modern women lead? Constant tension, hassle, rush at work... The feeling of anxiety practically does not leave us, and prolonged stress suppresses the immune system.

Secondly, a positive attitude towards your body and body and work with it helps not to be nervous over trifles, and thirdly, a certain lifestyle in general contributes to calmness. The following are tips on how to implement this:
- Proper nutrition. System simple rules will help strengthen the body, not be nervous and feel energized all day: eat more fruits and vegetables, do not forget about dairy products, morning cereals.

- Learn to relax. This means that in addition to your main duties, you have hobbies, places where you feel good and calm, friends, etc. When you find yourself in a situation that pisses you off, think about it.
- Keep a record of situations that make you nervous. Have a notepad handy at all times to record when you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety. Regularly analyze them - find the common and the reasons. For example: “I am constantly nervous in the company of strangers”, “I break down when they argue with me”, “I begin to worry before an important event”, etc. Once you understand what situations and why unsettle you, you will be ready for them and be able to manage them.
- Always remember that it could be worse. Many people have a bigger problem than you.. The thought is material.

Accordingly, everything else becomes less important and it makes no sense to worry. You must try not to blame - you are not God and not perfect, like all people. Be kind to yourself - "I snap because I have the right to it, but I start to fight it"
- You need to stop thinking about the bad. This means that we create a problem situation in our head and begin to worry about it, although in reality it does not exist and may not exist at all. Your thoughts about possible failures and losses are just fear that speaks of your insecurity in yourself, in your loved ones and prevents you from living.
Remember - there are no hopeless situations!
Drive negative thoughts and don't let them control you.
- Try to think less and worry about how others perceive you. Or rather, don't think at all. You can never be sure of your assessment of what people think of you. So is it worth worrying about? Moreover, we greatly exaggerate our own importance in the eyes of others. Others have their own problems, and they think first of all about themselves, not about you.
- Nobody owes you anything! Always keep this in mind when you start to get irritated and nervous because someone's behavior is not the way you would like. You have no right to force others to act solely in accordance with your interests.. Try to see the good in the bad.
- Keep a balance between work and leisure. Both work and play should be present in your life. Have the opportunity to do work and relax at the time you need it.
- Take your time! The desire to do everything and do several things at the same time is the first cause of stress. Set priorities, and always keep in mind that your healthy body and peace of mind are the most important and expensive thing you have.

Calming down at home: 15 tips on how to improve your emotional state and calm down.
1. Breathing exercises.
It has long been proven that with the help of breathing exercises, you can significantly improve not only the emotional background, but also the overall well-being of the body. Please note that a person's respiratory rhythms are fundamentally dependent on how he feels on a psychological level, and as soon as a stressful or tense situation arises, people begin to breathe at a different pace. You can calm the nerves by controlling the respiratory processes, for which there are several special techniques developed by specialists. If stress occurred suddenly, then with the help of a single application of the breathing exercises technique, you can significantly calm your nerves. But for a complete restoration of the nervous system, you will have to repeat the exercises with a certain regularity. Here are some of them:
Deep breaths. It is necessary to keep your back straight, straighten your shoulders, and inhale the air as deeply as possible, slowly, and then exhale completely, releasing the lungs gradually. It is necessary to strive to ensure that the exhalation exceeds the inhalation in its duration. After exhaling completely, hold your breath a little, and repeat the exercise again.
Breathing according to the method of yoga. Here the nervous system must calm down precisely at the moment of exhalation, on which it is necessary to focus all your attention. If inhaling increases the tone in the body, then exhaling relaxes, helps to feel calm, peaceful. You can familiarize yourself with this technique in detail in yoga classes, and simply by studying the rules for its implementation on the Internet.
Beginners in the field of breathing exercises should be extremely careful with the exercises. Do not delay the execution, and if out of habit there is a feeling of weakness, dizziness, feeling unwell, you should immediately stop breathing exercises.
2. Learn mentality.
In order to calm the nerves, it is not enough just to do the exercises, you must be able to set yourself up in the right way. If you do breathing exercises or take a bath with the thought that life is going downhill and nothing can be done, then there will be no sense in it. You need to learn how to manage your subconscious mind by setting yourself a positive direction of thinking. Being in this mood, you can learn to control your own nervous system. For example, if you feel a strong tension or emotional outburst, resort to the following settings: "Everything that is not done, everything is for the better",“The problem is solvable, there are no hopeless situations”, “I have close people who will always help me”, “I am strong, and I can cope with the task, everyone succeeds, so it will work for me”, and so on.
In order to relieve stress and calm your nerves, you need to choose for yourself the setting that will cheer and help as much as possible, and then regularly remind yourself of it, repeating to yourself. It is also important to realize the situation itself, which caused nervous tension, and to understand why the circumstances turned out the way they did. When the brain randomly thinks about a problem: "Everything is bad", he simply cannot concentrate on understanding what exactly the cause is, and from which side the solution to the problem should be sought. And given a clear setting: “Now I’m stressed because yesterday I didn’t have time to complete the work plan”, for example, options for solving the problem will immediately form: you need to come to work earlier tomorrow, or take part of the work home, and so on.
When a person knows what he should do, the mind calms down and nervous tension disappears.
3. Water procedures.
No wonder they say that when nerves fail, it is necessary to turn to water procedures. It can be a simple shower at home, a bath with aromatic oils, or a visit to the spa. At the subconscious level, a person associates water procedures with getting rid of unnecessary thoughts, cleansing not only the body, but also the mind. Therefore, in order to put the nerves in order, experts recommend spending some time in a warm shower before going to bed. A contrast shower, as well as dousing, although beneficial to health, but the nerves do not calm, but only excite, so you should choose a comfortable water temperature.
In order to stimulate the soothing effect of the shower, you can listen to your favorite songs while bathing, create pleasant lighting and light an aroma lamp with your favorite soothing oil. After the end of the procedure, go to bed, having previously dressed in things made of soft, natural material that are pleasant to the skin.
4. Comfortable environment as a way to put your nerves in order.
Man is a creature that is very dependent on the environment, so try to organize maximum comfort for yourself. A good, healthy sleep helps to relieve stress and calm the nerves at home. And in order to fall asleep with pleasure, you need to organize a comfortable sleeping place for yourself: make the bed fresh, fragrant bed linen, choose a comfortable mattress, clean the room. A clean, comfortable environment will help you fall asleep faster, as well as recover as much as possible during your rest.
5. Make time for yourself.
Modern women are forced for the most part to solve many problems at once, and family, and household, and workers. But still, you need to find some time to let go of all thoughts about them, free your mind and thoughts, and take care of yourself. We are not talking about trips to beauty salons or shopping centers, for many it has already become integral part life, and does not play the effect of relaxation. Although, if this technique helps you, then you can do shopping therapy. Or just forget about all the problems, think about something pleasant, relax, and get rid of the constant hassle at least for a while.
Constant stress on the nervous system leads to negative consequences. If you have been in a busy mode for a long time, it is better to take a vacation and go on vacation abroad, or at least to one of the sanatoriums in our country.
6. Massage.
This way to calm the nerves is known to all. It’s great, of course, to take a course of massage during sessions, letting go of all problems and worries, but if this is not possible, you can resolve the issue yourself. You have probably noticed that a person who begins to get nervous, without noticing it, runs his hand over his head. So, this is justified by the fact that it is the skin of the head and face that is very rich in nerve endings, and even elementary stroking of the hair already helps to calm down a little. Try to massage the scalp on your own, imitating a comb with your fingers and moving like this from the forehead to the back of the head. Using massage movements, rub the temporal region, forehead and cheeks.
7. Sweets as a way to calm the nerves.
Despite all the diets and restrictions, during a period of stress, you can afford to eat a little sweet, because it is sweet food that contains certain hormones that have a calming effect on nerve cells. So take it as a medicine in this case, which must be taken to cure the nerves. It's not about eating a bucket of ice cream or a huge piece of chocolate cake. It is quite possible to replace such high-calorie foods with prunes, dried apricots, honey or dark chocolate in a small amount. Of course, stress is not a reason to overeat, because in the future there will be another source of tension, such as extra pounds. Everything is good in moderation.
8. Movement is life.
