Want to Break Free from Stress? Simple, Recommended Methods

Busy days and relationship worries can cause stress to accumulate without you realizing it. In our modern lives, many things around us can become causes of stress.

If you’re feeling unable to shake off fatigue, becoming irritable more easily, or not sleeping deeply at night, your body may be sensing stress.

This article details the causes of stress, simple ways to relieve it, and methods you can incorporate into daily life.

Let’s Know the Causes of Stress! What Are Common Causes?

First, knowing what you’re feeling stressed about is important. Here we introduce common causes of stress many people carry.

Work-Related Stress

Stress at work is something a very large number of people feel. Concerns while working are endless — heavy workloads, pressure to finish by deadlines, anxiety about your role at the workplace. Also, significant stress is felt when you feel your hard work isn’t being recognized, or when you feel crushed by the weight of responsibility.

Relationship-Related Stress

Stress arising from relationships with others — at work, home, or with friends — is also a common cause. Many people also become exhausted from paying too much attention to differences in values or misunderstandings in opinions. In particular, those who can pay attention to those around them tend to accumulate relationship stress more easily.

Purpose and Hobby-Related Stress

Surprisingly, stress can also arise from things related to hobbies. Causes behind stress arising even from a beloved hobby relate to your own sense of fulfillment — like not having time for what you want to do, not improving as expected, or not seeing a future outlook.

Childcare and Housework-Related Stress

Childcare and housework tend to be a cause of stress since they’re a continuous series of endless days. Anxiety about a child’s growth, the difficulty of balancing housework and work, the frustration of not having time for yourself — stress related to roles within the home can be hard for those around you to understand, so it tends to be carried alone.

Stress Unique to Modern Society

With the spread of smartphones and social media, stress unique to modern times — constantly being exposed to information — is also increasing. Comparing yourself to others, worrying about reactions, and continuing a state where you can’t step away from digital devices can cause fatigue to accumulate without you realizing it.

Simple Stress-Relief Methods Worth Trying First

When you feel stress, please try simple stress-relief methods. First, let’s introduce methods that are easy to do.

Deep Breathing and Abdominal Breathing

Regulating your breathing is a very simple method for calming your mind. Try slowly inhaling through your nose, breathing deeply while expanding your belly. Then, slowly exhale through your mouth. Just repeating this abdominal breathing a few times, you should feel your bodily tension loosen and your mood settle. Please try it when feeling irritated or anxious.

Short Stretches

Continuing the same posture during desk work can make not just your body but your mind stiff too. Even just rotating your neck while sitting in your chair, moving your shoulders up and down, or stretching your arms wide can be expected to deliver an effect. As circulation improves and stiffened muscles loosen, your mood should also clear up.

Relax Listening to Music You Like

Music has the power to directly work on emotions. Choose an energizing song when feeling down, or a calm song when irritated. Nature sounds and healing music also settle the mind. Just putting on headphones, closing your eyes, and creating time to let yourself go to the music should give you a feeling of stepping away from your daily life a bit.

Organizing Your Feelings by Writing Them Down

When carrying a murky feeling, writing it down on paper is recommended. Putting into words what you’re feeling now, and what bothered you, organizes your mind and clarifies the problem. Since you’re not showing it to anyone, write freely as you feel. You should feel your mind lighter after finishing writing.

Stress-Coping Methods Worth Incorporating into Daily Life

Temporary stress-relief methods are important, but why not review your lifestyle habits and build a body resistant to stress? Here we introduce coping methods we’d love for you to continue daily.

Moderate Exercise

Moving your body connects to stress relief. Try finding an exercise you like — walking, jogging, yoga. Even about 20 minutes of light exercise serves as a mood changer, refreshing both body and mind.

Securing Quality Sleep

Sufficient sleep is the basics of stress care. Continued sleep deprivation makes you more prone to irritability and more likely to be bothered by small things. Try creating an environment for quality sleep by refraining from your smartphone before bed or keeping your room dark.

A Balanced Diet

Our mind and body are built from what we eat. Being mindful of a nutritionally balanced diet regulates your physical condition, making it easier to cope with stress. In particular, being mindful of getting vitamins and minerals also connects to mental stability.

Enjoying Hobbies

Creating time to fully immerse yourself in what you love connects to building a body less prone to accumulating stress. Reading, music, travel, sports — anything is fine. Using your time on what you find enjoyable lets you step away from daily stress and reset your mind.

Our Recommended Treatments for Those Who Want to Break Free from Stress

Our salon offers treatments recommended for those troubled by stress. Let’s approach from both mind and body to break free from stress! Here we introduce KADOMORI’s recommended treatments.

Sleep Correction

Stress, autonomic disruption, and muscular tension actually affect the skull too. In our salon, we perform treatment using a machine called the Synchro Wave, which we developed independently, running a gentle weak electrical current through the head. Combining this current with skilled hand technique and cranial acupuncture, we carefully regulate the autonomic nervous system, brain waves, and skull balance. After treatment, you should be naturally guided into deep sleep, and feel a state of relaxation in both body and mind.

Honeoto

Misalignment in the bones of the neck, back, and lower back occurs gradually from daily posture and stress. In this treatment, focusing on three areas — the neck bone, spine, and lower-back bone — we carefully check bone misalignment while performing instantaneous correction. We create a pleasant, relaxed state, as if your body is being just perfectly stretched, and gently add pressure while timing when the bones are ready to naturally align. It’s a treatment where you can experience a refreshing sensation without feeling pain.

Detox Oil Treatment

The soles of the feet gather points called reflex zones, connecting to the whole body. In this treatment, we pleasantly stimulate the foot reflex zones using oil, supporting the function of internal organs like the stomach, kidneys, heart, liver, and lungs. Furthermore, we can also remotely approach discomforts in the shoulders, lower back, neck, eyes, and arms from the soles of the feet. You should feel gently warmed from within your body, and accumulated fatigue and tension loosen.
