burn incense
If you’re thinking of the kind you offer at a household Buddhist altar, did you know there are actually many different types of incense? If you’re into fashion, you may have seen incense burning in vintage clothing shops.
The scent is nice, of course, but simply watching the curling smoke can be quite soothing too.
My personal recommendation is Nag Champa, an Indian incense that’s also used in Supreme’s stores.
It’s very affordable and easy to find.
After all, exercise is what really helps with stress!
I think everyone has experienced feeling refreshed in the head after moving their body vigorously.
A research team at Princeton University in the United States has scientifically clarified the relationship between exercise and the brain.
According to the study, exercise is effective for the growth of a certain part of the brain that plays a role in suppressing stress.
These findings once again teach us that exercise is good not only for physical health but also for mental health.
How announcers overcome stage fright
This is a method for overcoming stage fright from a professional announcer.
It’s a lesson from someone who speaks in front of people as a professional.
The first point is a mindset shift: “No one will remember in ten years.” You might think, is that all? But they explain it with real passion, and by the end, it’s quite convincing.
karaoke
They say that shouting is good for relieving stress.
That said, yelling at home would probably bother the neighbors and cause problems.
The sea or the mountains are nice options, but if you live in the city, they’re not easy to get to.
That’s where karaoke comes in—you can belt out songs without hesitation.
Overcoming stage fright with subliminals
It seems that the cause of stage fright lies in the “subconscious.” In this context, the subconscious is like a warehouse storing past failures and embarrassing experiences and emotions.
When you stand in front of people, those memories appear to come out of that warehouse.
Overcoming stage fright means rewriting those subconscious memories.
To do that, you need to create successful experiences.
However, even with success, a conflict can arise between the heart and the mind.
It’s quite challenging, isn’t it? For more details, please watch the video!
