Okay this really cool and will be fun! Ready for this? To help relieve stress – Play a game!
The reason playing a game, especially one that presents a challenge can effectively help you reduce stress – is that your attention is centered on the game, taking your mind off of the problem(s) for awhile. Thus your mind has a chance to rejuvenate, which helps you overcome tension. Just what games are stress relievers, depends on you and what you like to play. Whatever you choose to play, be it a board, video or computer game, even an outdoor game with, in addition to focusing you mind on the task at hand and forgetting the source of the stress, has the extra added benefit of removing tension from the body. The best part is, you don’t have to wait until you get stressed out to do this. Play anytime, start your day off with a little fun and end it with a little fun, and in-between time may be a lot easier to deal with. Remember that the purpose is to give yourself and your mind a chance to relax – oh and have fun!
