The people look for primary reasons which cause their unpleasant feelings because they think that stressful jobs and relationship conflicts and financial difficulties create their problems. The scientists discovered that people experience environmental micro-stressors which they accidentally overlook during their daily activities which actually determine their emotional state. The mental resources which people actually own become wasted when they work through daily tasks and invisible environmental factors which people cannot observe because these elements exist as hidden aspects of their regular activities.
The “Open Loop” Anxiety
People think about their unfinished work because their mind continues to work on these projects beyond their actual ending point. The brain maintains a small part of its capacity to work on tasks that remain uncompleted. The mental effort becomes lighter when you complete these tasks since you close the unfinished business.
Low-Level Background Noise
People assume they cannot hear sounds from two devices which work in silence because people hear both devices at their regular operational level. The sound will be processed through your nervous system to your brain because it remains active even when you stop listening. People become increasingly irritable throughout the day until they reach evening time.
Dehydration Grumpiness
The human brain consists of roughly 75 percent water. Dehydration at even 1 percent level results in symptoms which include cognitive impairment and headaches and irritability. Your body requires water to hydrate so the first glass of water you drink will improve your bad day.
Poor Lighting Choices
The overhead fluorescent lighting creates a stressful environment through its bright lights which make people feel tired not under their control. Natural sunlight works best to improve your mood because it enables your body to produce serotonin while your natural body rhythms continue.
Digital Clutter
A phone screen filled with 50 unread notifications and a desktop covered in icons creates visual noise. When you look at your computer screen, your brain feels a %micro-ping% which brings him pressure. The process of digital space cleaning decreases your daily stress levels.
The “Decision Fatigue” Trap
People must make numerous decisions every single day about their clothing and food choice. Your decision-making ability will decrease during the afternoon because your brain has reached its maximum capacity for decisions. People experience more anger because their mental state worsens while their emotional state becomes more negative. You should create a better plan for your daily activities to keep your good mood intact during the times when it matters most.
Shallow Breathing
People who work during hectic times will use shallow breathing through their upper chest for oxygen intake. The brain receives this signal that we exist in a state of emergency because we experience this breathing pattern. Deep belly breathing for 60 seconds helps you to go back to a state of inner calmness.
The Impact of Your “Scent-Scape”
The olfactory system of humans exists to deliver scent information to our brain emotional processing center. Stale room odors lead to a decrease in energy levels while fresh citrus and lavender scents create mood improvements which happen without conscious recognition.
Lack of “Transition Time”
People go through a full work shift and then move to time with their family or the tasks of home maintenance. People will carry their stress through various places without taking a 10-minute break because their body lacks the necessary time to recover from stress which resorts to spilling their stress on others.
Physical Posture
Your body assumes that you have reached a defeated state because your shoulders slumped toward the ground. The act of standing tall through power posing for two minutes reduces cortisol levels while boosting self-assurance.
The “Negativity Bias” in Media
The presence of rage-bait content together with negative news stories keeps your brain in a readiness condition. The body responds to news updates in the same way it handles actual threats which approach your home.
Temperature Sensitivity
Your body undergoes physical stress because it needs to deal with both hot and cold temperature changes which happen throughout the entire day. Your ability to feel emotional situations becomes impaired because your body requires energy to maintain your body temperature while you experience shivering or sweating.
