 Hello everyone, I am Sira Satish Kumar, consultant clinical psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry in Manipal Hospital, Spangler. There are enormous ways of combating stress. The first and the foremost known to people are breathing techniques. It's said that whenever you are angry or whenever you are stressed, whenever you are not able to cope up with the situation, close your eyes and breathe. You don't have to take any posture, you don't need any peaceful place for it. To breathe, you can do it in any place, any given time, in any posture. All you need to do is take few deep breaths and you will feel better. Setting apart breathing techniques, there are many other techniques. It's said that when you remember some good moments of your past, remembering some person who brings happiness in your life, makes a person feel better at the given moment of time. And mindfulness is a technique which is of great therapeutic value in terms of combating the stress. Mindfulness is all about living in the present in a non-judgmental approach and that's achieved by various different techniques. The simplest of all is mindful breathing, where a person focus on the normal breathing in any given point of time, in any given setting just by focusing on the normal breath, a person might have a lot of thoughts but bringing a person's focus back on the breath again and again and again no matter how many thoughts you get is called as mindful breathing and that plays a great role in combating the stress in making a person feel relaxed immediately. It brings quick results in a person.
