Continuing Bajaj Allianz Life's "Fitness from Home" initiative, we bring you the "Anxiety and Stress Management Workshop" by Megha Jaggi.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected economies around the globe. Governments are trying to contain the spread of the virus by implementing lockdowns. If you're not an essential worker, chances are you have been working from home for quite some time. The transition was probably not easy. Plus, being quarantined or cooped up in your house can affect your mental health in the long run.
Anxiety is a normal human feeling, just like joy, surprise, pity etc. However, prolonged anxiety can negatively affect every aspect of a person's life. It can affect how they think, feel and how they behave towards their peers.
So how do you deal with anxiety? Some easy-to-do exercises such as meditation, cat-cow pose, bhramari, anulom vilom etc. can help you reduce anxiety.
Meditation - Meditation helps manage anxiety, depression and pain. Practise meditation every day at the same time. You will be able to concentrate more effectively on your work and be free from negative thoughts.
Cat-Cow Pose - This yoga exercise helps warm up your spine and relieves back and neck tension after a long day. Cat Stretch held at its peak releases tension of the upper back and neck. Cat-Cow stretches the back torso and neck, and softly stimulates and strengthens the abdominal organs.
Bhramari - The Bhramari pranayama breathing technique is one of the best breathing exercises to free the mind of agitation, frustration or anxiety. Bhramari works on calming the nerves and soothes them, especially around the brain and forehead area. The humming vibrations have a natural calming effect.
Anulom Vilom - It is excellent for alleviating respiratory problems and asthma. It facilitates proper functioning of the lungs, lifts up your mood and keeps stress at bay.
