Scientists point out that dealing with tension should start from both objective and subjective aspects.
Objectively speaking, people should deal with the stressful events that may bring tension. For example, if you feel nervous about the exam, make a review plan early before the exam, memorize the knowledge to be tested, and do more simulation questions. The feeling of "having a bamboo in mind" is helpful to relieve tension.
Subjectively, there are two ways to deal with tension: positive and negative. Among them, "positive response" refers to facing the tension directly and dealing with it constructively, including talking to friends or family and obtaining social support; Learn to laugh at yourself and relieve pressure with humor; Sublimate negative emotions, that is, "turn pressure into power". "Negative coping" is to suppress or avoid those stressful thoughts, including: shifting attention to other things; Suppress your emotions and tell yourself "don't be nervous"; Deny emotions and tell yourself "in fact, I'm not nervous at all"; wait.
In addition, aggressive behavior is also a way to vent tension. Among these methods, "positive coping" is the most effective and beneficial to the body and mind, while "negative coping" can alleviate tension for a while, but it may cause inexplicably more anxiety later; Venting tension through aggressive behavior may cause harm to others, which is not advocated. In addition, it can also reduce tension by relieving physical performance during tension, such as deep breathing, relaxing muscles, meditation, listening to soothing music, and so on.
