Six Ways to Get Comfort - #EdenComfortFood Special
We
often hear people say "I hate stress". But no matter how hard we try,
stress is inevitable. It can exist in so many situations that we deal with on a
daily basis may it be at work, or even our personal lives. In some cases,
stress can be a good indication that something good is going to happen. Think
of how a rocket is launched. According to an article released by How Things
Fly, a lot of thrust, which means force, needs to be produced in order to push
a rocket into space. The bigger the rocket, the bigger the amount of thrust is
needed. Same goes with our everyday life. The bigger the vision, the more push
is needed to carry it out.
So
instead of avoiding stress, let's find ways on how to handle it and get comfort
once in a while. Allow me to share some proven ways to get comfort after a long
and tiring day:
1.
Practice proper breathing.
Breathing allows oxygen to flow
within our mind and body so that both can function well. Breathing also helps
us get rid of toxins that deteriorate our cells. Taking deep, slow breaths
tells our brain that everything is okay, which then calms our entire body.
Guest-Jelley suggested going through the following to practice proper
breathing:
Using your dominant hand, “make
a U-shape with your thumb and pointer finger.
If you’re using your right
hand, press your right thumb into your right nostril, gently closing it. Inhale
through your left nostril.
Next, press your right index
finger against your left nostril, closing it, as you release your thumb from
the right nostril – allowing yourself to exhale through the right nostril.
Repeat by inhaling through the
right nostril, then closing it and exhaling through the left nostril.
Continue like this for at least
10 full breaths.”
2. Get a
massage.
According
to medical experts, stress can cause poor blood circulation which then
contributes to further discomfort. Getting a massage will definitely help you
get immediate comfort as this helps make blood circulate better. If you can't
go to the nearest spa, dialing a home-service provider will help. There's a lot
of home massage services being offered and can be found in google.
3.
Listen to positive music.
It
is always important to feed our minds with positive thoughts because it
produces positive behavior which then produces positive outcome. Listening to
positive music trains our minds to look at the brighter side of things despite
of how bad our situations may be.
4.
Pray.
In
a song by Kari Jobe entitled Singin' Over Me, there is a line that says,
"There is Freedom in Surrender". When the load is too heavy and you
can't handle it anymore, it always helps to just let go and let God. I always
believe that help is there when you ask for it and sometimes, God is just
waiting for us to tell him, "Lord, I can't do this anymore. Can you help
me?" so he can fully take over and let you witness a miracle to happen.
Pray hard. It works.
5.
Cry.
Crying
does not make a person weak. It allows you to unload yourself of the burden so
you can lighten up and be more ready to face the challenges ahead.
6.
Grab some real good comfort food.
We
always hear the words "comfort food". And I am sure we all agree that
good food does not only calm the stomach but the spirit as well. Satisfying our
taste buds reminds us that there is still something good to look forward to and
not everything is bad after all. It is treating ourselves for all our accomplishments and
fuels us to do better in times we need to work harder.
When
we speak of comfort food, usually, mom's home-cooked meals always come first.
But in reality, our moms may not always be there with us. Good
thing, there will always be something that will remind us of their love such as
good food that is synonymous to their warm hugs. Thank God there's
now Eden Comfort Food Maker created to provide comfort for Filipinos! It
produces variety of warm and cheesy meals depending on the person's mood and
need. Imagine, you can get freshly-cooked Cheesy Chicken Adobo for only
Php50.00! Whether you're a regular employee needing a break from demands of
office life, or a stranded passenger in the bus terminal waiting for the next
available trip, the Eden Comfort Food Maker can cook up a hot, simple dish in
just two minutes.
