DEALING WITH STRESS

[@user-te6ms9wf5k]

Niomi! You’ve become so so much more approachable and relatable since you opened up about what you see online and feeling guilt! I LOVE these honest videos, the way you’ve relaxed with your fitness ‘regiment’ and upholdinging perfectness and you seem SO MUCH HAPPIER and more free?! Keep it up!!

[@vcas13]

I really recommend the book Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert Sapolski to really understand stress and why we suffer so much from it. It's a science based approach (I read it for an advanced science class during my bachelors), but it explains everything so well that I do believe the general public is able to understand it. It explains the link of stress to all sort of diseases such as cardiovascular, dementia, Alzheimer and cancer. Very interesting and educational.

[@leonorleitmann]

Something that I found really helps me “get rid” of some stress is just either lying down (on the floor or somewhere else) and just listening to music, I actually made a 9 hour playlist just for this sole purpose. Other times I’ll just walk around town alone and listening to the same music and idk stop for a coffee or tea or whatever. Normally I find that being alone in general helps me I’m stressful situations.

This is so inspirational, I'm loving this new series Niomi! I also love to practice gratitude, feel like it helps open up your rational mindset especially in times when your feeling overwhelmed with stress

[@2011naomi]

Love this. Came at the right time xx

[@ellik1165]

Sauna, hot baths, mindful breathing will help.

[@marii8057]

Such an appropiate video for me right now with all my exams and assignments. Very much needed thank you I do think it's good to wind down in the evening that helps and have a good night sleep x

[@emanalbadaani5038]

I have learnt that self love is the most important thing you do for yourself. Everyday I try to do anything/something that makes me happy.. enjoying a cup of coffee at my favourite cafe.. text a good friend... or even go for a walk... also I have learnt to let go any negative thoughts/feelings that are out of my hand/control. We only live this life once let go of anything spoils it and be happy

[@akilatchier4068]

I love you Niomi...and this video came in the right time...I am having a rough time....and I suffered a hard depression for two years. Dunno what to do now...but I am trying my best...and I'll use your tips. Love from Algeria💝Thank you Niomi

[@reubenantonio1474]

In a similar situation, sending love to you!

Finding someone in algeria suffering frim mental health like le lake feel like i am not alone i suffering frim an extrême anxiety

[@darjajo]

I have a list in my phone of "feel-good" movies, tv shows, youtube videos, songs etc. and every time I feel stressed out I watch or listen something from that list and always feel better! 🌞 Thank you Niomi for this great video! 🧚‍♀️

[@CasaSaldosdiLadyAngelaIII]

To reduce stress, I shower with cold water and use my favorite coconut body wash. Then head to the kitchen to prepare me a peachy tea flavor, go to the garden with my iPad to listen to Chopin melodies and write on my diary.

[@linastrindlund2830]

but to really relax you need to shut of your ipad! :) make your husband/boyfriend play a guitar instead! :D

[@liahatz]

Loved hearing this, have been so stressed lately. Tons of exercise and mindful eating has helped massively x

[@sarasbeautyblog]

Yes, the caffeine comment is so important! I gave up caffeine at the end of September and I have noticed a huge difference in panic attacks. Not stress but work has been intense. But I highly recommend giving up caffeine for anyone struggling with anxiety!

[@katiesmith3242]

Sara G. I’ve reduced my coffee intake! It has helped I think x

[@tabzq8118]

Lovely tips. Thanks. As a Muslim I'm required to pray 5 times a day and it helps me with stress as I have to take time out for 5mins x 5times. It's great to leave everything and recite Arabic

[@evanneofficial]

I have downloaded a Muslim prayer time app half a year ago because of that reason!! I don't pray but I use those times to reconnect with myself. It's so easy to forget those moments otherwise but now the app reminds me of it 😊

[@tabzq8118]

@@evanneofficial awww that's lovely. Thanks for sharing and replying. Yes the timings are according to the sun's height and is Sooo useful as the timings can be known by if someone was to be living on a farm with no clock. 1.Break of dawn 2.From when the sun has been at it's highest 3.When the shadow of things are more it's length 4. Just when the sun has set 5. When the sun has disappeared and darkness overspreads.

[@evanneofficial]

@@tabzq8118 you're welcome, have a nice day 🤗

[@courtneyfyeah]

the timing of this is MAD. i am living in stress city right now and actually have a doctors appointment tomorrow about an eye twitch i've had since my january exams. i've learnt a lot about stress since getting into Dr Rangan Chatterjee's podcast 'Feel Better, Live More' and purchasing his books 'the 4 pillar plan' and 'the stress solution' have really really helped. i would recommend them to anyone wanting to understand stress more and make simple changes to improve your life. i've been struggling recently and i've got a lot on as I'm in my final year at uni and i know it's going to be over soon but i'm really trying to make an effort to sort out my response to stress, because even though this specific stress will go, life is still stressful !! so i want to make changes and do things that are going to help me so i can live a happier and calmer life. thank you so much for this video niomi x

[@jessicagold444]

Girl thanks so much for this^_^ I have been STRESSED /stressing sm over my class this semester , I'm breaking out severly since I started, on my forehead (possible it could be other things)!! but it completely drains me by the end of the day and especially after the whole week, I need the weekend , WHOLE weekend to recharge from the week and by the time i am recharged to do the things that I love and that are the most important to me and my heart like my videos, insta stories, what my heart is all about it starts all over by the time I'm back up and full of energy ughhh. I try my best, thank you sm Niomi! You've grown sm🥰

[@maleeka6312]

I have JUST finished all my block exams so the stress is slowly falling off my shoulders! A good tip is to clean when ur stressed. I just deep clean my room or the house and feel so much better

[@jessicafliegel9125]

My husband and I are currently going through the process of moving to Germany(hes military) and I am beyond stressed. This video is just what I needed.

[@owllilly5535]

If you have any questions about germany, comment here! ;) I'm german and would love to answer and lower your stress levels a little bit ;) Germany is a beautiful country, hope you will like it! :)

[@reubenantonio1474]

Thank you Niomi! Your videos are wonderful and are helpful! :)

[@sashaadina5663]

This video came at the right time! For the past week I've felt super stressed, the past few weeks I've been doing ten minutes of stretching before bed which helps!!!

[@DD-wg7rw]

I’m stressing right now because I have exam on Wednesday and I’m not prepared. It’s stupid because I knew for months and had time to study and prepare myself, but nooo. For years I’ve been doing this and my brain is now used to this “condition”. If I try to study a month before it’s not as effective as it is 10 days before the exam. And these 10 days are really depressing and stressful. I know I have to change this, but it’s hard.

[@maxenehorstead8106]

Hi naomi.. im a fan.. i learned a lot all the thoughts you have shared on ur videos.. yeah sometimes a felt stress in my life..i dont know what to do.. how to handle it.. i didnt yet tried yoga but as uv said it helps u to relieved those stress..lets see..lets try.. yeah i have to love myself.. do whatever makes me happy esp i have famly aready, i have 3 kids, 2 boys n a girl.. and yeah i dont like to pass my stessful day to them.. pls continue naomi on what u r doin.. uv been an inspiration, yes u are.. tha k you for exploring and sharing ur life to us.. Godbless😊

[@kaisasinivuori808]

You saved my week. It’s been now already one month in a row of weeks filled with multiple deadlines and 5 exams per week. Felt like i was so close to mental breakdown. Thank you

[@trrawa96]

Being stressed and overwhelmed by everything around is something that unfortunately has happened to me a lot of the time since I remember. I always try to work on it and remind myself that the pressure I'm feeling is just something that my mind creates on its own and that it's not something that is really a thing - but it's not that easy as it may sound. For me the thing that calms me down the most is writing a notebook - I just sit by myself in my bedroom, listen to my favourite chilling spotify playlist and just try to write all of my thoughts on paper - I've been doing this since i was a little girl and I swear I always feel instantly better afterwards - it clears my mind and helps me organize all this negative things in my head. So I really recommend doing that or at least try a few times :) Besides that I also love meditation, but I'm still learning and trying to improve that :) Also Niomi - it's so lovely and nice of you that you talk about topics like mental health - I think there are a lot of people out there that would find your videos helpful xx

[@abigailhall7870]

Thank you, needed this! I’m starting my first year of teaching in September and teaching is soooo stressful so this will really help! ❤️

[@alejandrapabon5465]

Eating crunchy food helps to release stress. Things like peanut, almonds, cashues, etc

[@skyfairzzz8923]

Can you do a video about your favorite teas? I’m sure you have good recommendations

[@linastrindlund2830]

What kind of pasta do you eat ordinary pasta from wheat makes me stressed! :(

What's the flashing light in the video?

[@MartaMichalskaUras]

Love all the advice! Have you tried experimenting with different frequencies of relaxing music? It’s so relaxing. One of my favorite playlist of meditatove music that I listened to throughout my pregnancies (mom of Three Under Two and a tiny KZbinr) is Zen Musica on youtube. Try ;)

[@belleomalley1022]

Thank you so much for this Niomi! I'm definitely so worked up with stress. I'm going to have a tea and chill reading about sleep and stress now! Even texted my bestie about going for a chill workout together.

[@sharontsai835]

I have to say that Noimi is really beautiful. I am learning English from KZbin. If it can be with subtitles in the video. That's best to learners.

[@sakshi1284]

Can you please also convert SmartChats into podcasts? I feel like if you're not showing visuals, then it'll be great to have the same video/ episode in two mediums (as a video and a podcast). :)

[@mariandubrule1822]

Love these videos ♥️thank you niome 💕I just had an anxiety attack yesterday and quit my job today and this video came at the perfect time ☺️ watching your videos relaxes me also jazz music or the fireplace channel in the background helps a lot :) reading too! And walks in the garden :) Can you make more yoga vids I love them! Or your relax routines ☕💐🌈☺️💗

[@Itschloeanne95]

The statistic about women is interesting. Are they more likely to be stressed or more likely to admit to it? I’m constantly stressed as a teacher and I never seem to have time for myself 😭 coupled with depression, it’s difficult to be productive and do the right things when I have got time to myself 😖

[@hannahprestwood4933]

This is all so important especially with school and university! I love your new #smartchats series think they are really great and honest! Definitely needed this reminder to GET MORE SLEEP during term time! Also find it interesting how you said to eat healthy and not indulge in junk food when mega stressed (guilty!) Hope you're having a lovely day x

[@JenzBeautyStyle]

Such a great video! Very inspirational

[@lichtreflexionen2114]

Hi Niomi, great tipps! Thank you 😀 But... when I'm really stressed, I have no time to cook good meals with vegs or sit down with a tea or sleep enough or things like that... 😕 in a medium level thats possible, but when I'm in a really hard stress, I have no time for these things left...

[@laurajane1997]

I get really stressed over my boyfriends Ex as she's still in his life because they have kids together who are 5 and 7 so it's difficult with her involved at times or she'll always ring him about silly things or has a go at him

[@lolaphoebeee]

Niomi how do you always know what videos I am in need of watching!? You are amazing . Also of you like herbal teas you should try the clippers organic sleep easy teas. They are amazing and I always have one before sleeping x

You know what, you’re a great stress relief Niomi! Your videos always make me feel calm and a bit better when I’m feeling like everything’s a bit too much. Thank’s :)

[@kimaponte7082]

Good video but I don’t think you have the stress that some have who don’t have the luxury of dealing as you do.

[@MsKTMvalley]

Kim Aponte what luxuries? This wasn’t a list of expensive treatments. There are many ways to deal with stress which she discussed, and it’s not a total list anyway. You can find what works for you

[@dianawilliams4161]

Kim that's a really ignorant comment. Anyone can feel stressed however fortunate others may think they are.

[@yellowrainbow7889]

No one asked you to talk about stress. At least not a huge number of people. You'll just do anything and talk about everything to avoid talking about yourself and your own life because clearly things are not working out with Joe. Your topics lately are awful because you don't want to get real with us. You don't connect with your audience and that's why no one's into watching your channel anymore

[@jclh21]

Yellow Rainbow Omfg this is such a good, relatable video! Look at the reception. Quit the negativity just because she’s not putting out content that’s appealing to you.

[@yellowrainbow7889]

@@jclh21 Thanks, but I'm my own person with My own thoughts which I wrote. I'll comment mine, not parrot anyone else's or write what u WANT me to think 😉. The "reception" BTW is not in the comments. It's in the lack of views & the extremely LOW engagement on Niomi's channel over the past year. Nobody watches her anymore... With just under 2 mill sub's she should have at least 300K views.. Not under 20k or even 50K on most recent chosen topics.
