Stress and anxiety are common problems that affect many people in today's hectic and challenging times. A number of factors contribute to this, such as work, various family commitments, health problems or an uncertain future. As time goes on, there are more and more factors. Therefore, it is important to find ways to cope with them and improve your overall well-being and quality of life.
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a state of uneasiness, worry and uncertainty that can have both physical and emotional manifestations. People may experience anxiety in a variety of situations, for example, before an important interview, before a public appearance, or when coping with stressful events.
How to get rid of stress and anxiety?
There are many ways to get rid of stress and anxiety. Each of them more or less affects our normal functioning and changes our stereotypes. Everyone is looking for their own way of dealing with stress and uses different rituals to help them deal with it. However, few people know that one of the very effective ways to get rid of stress or overcome anxiety can be wearing different jewellery every day. These have been a favourite accessory of many women and men for many years. Apart from being an essential way to decorate ourselves and present our personality, they can also have an impact on our mental health. There are several ways jewellery can help us manage stress and anxiety.
1. Calming by the symbolism of the jewel
Jewellery often carries symbolism that can be important for us in coping with difficult situations. Whether it is a suitable and beautiful gift from a loved one or we simply associate a particular piece of jewellery with an important moment in our lives, the symbolism we carry in jewellery can help us to overcome many difficult situations or moments of anxiety. We turn to our jewellery the same way we turn to talismans, believing that it will bring us good luck, which will ultimately calm us down and give us the strength to keep moving forward.
A separate chapter in wearing jewellery against stress can be the various pendants that evoke positive emotions just by looking at or touching them. It does not matter what the symbol is, only the ultimate emotion is important. A great example are gold pendants with a religious theme. The alternative for those who do not acknowledge this type of pendants can also be Celtic symbols or general symbols of love and peace. Such symbols include a four-leaf clover, a heart or a tree of life. For some of us, animal symbols and favourite objects can also relieve stress, which we can include in our jewellery.
2. Aromatherapy in jewellery
Some jewellery is designed to serve as carriers of scents, such as essential oils. This jewellery can be an unobtrusive way to relieve stress and anxiety. Aromatherapy has proven to be an effective way to help us relax and increase our sense of well-being. The jewellery is worn throughout the day and the scent refill is gradually released.
3. The healing power of natural stones
There is a lot of talk nowadays about the power of different stones that have different healing effects. Some of us use this power of stones for different situations and health problems. The power of natural stones can definitely help us against stress as well. Remember that the power of healing stones should be used wisely and individual stones should also be charged in the right way. The healing significance of each natural stone is different, so you need to choose one that has the right effect and will actually bring you calmness when you feel stressed and anxious.
