Tips for Managing Stress


Some stress is actually good for you. Unfortunately, any stress that builds up can lead to health problems, emotional issues and more stress.

You need to determine what's causing your stress and take an active approach in dealing with it.

It's not going away on its own. How you deal with stress is completely up to you. Here's some tips to help you get started.

Know Your Limitations

Knowing your limitations and how much you can deal with on a daily basis is a major key in reducing and managing stress.

You need to learn to say "No" if people keep trying to pile work on you or expect you to be super human and get everything done on your own. This doesn't just include your work environment but also friends and family.

People sometimes expect us to go out of our way to help them out without realizing that you may have other obligations and can't just drop everything for their whims.

If this happens in your life, put a stop to it and start saying "No". Instead, make time for you so that you can use stress management techniques and stop trying to be super-human.

Quiet Time

Spend quiet time with yourself. You can either meditate, read a good book, or go for a nice walk.

Get away from the stressful situations and spend time working on you and managing the stress. No one is going to do it for you. No one can do it for you.

Many times, people will not take you seriously in your quest for peace unless you start taking it serious and do something about it.

Practice Gratitude

It may seem hard to be grateful for things when everything is building up and causing stress. This is actually the best time to be grateful for the things you do have.

Be grateful for the small things that you take for granted, the things you rarely stop to think about that makes your life easier.

Modern conveniences can be a blessing or they can add more stress to your life. Try to see how they help you in your daily life and be grateful for them.

Just Breathe

Breathing is one of the best ways to reduce stress. Most people take breathing for granted because it's an automatic function of living. You may think that since you breathe without making yourself do it that it automatically helps.

However, focused, deep breathing has a tremendous amount of benefits. The majority of people go through their lives only using ten percent of their lung capacity.

This does not get enough needed oxygen to the brain and organs of the body. Start focusing on breathing exercises and you'll see a difference in your moods, your health and your stress levels.

Learn to deal with stress and try a few of these relaxing techniques so you can avoid any long term implications due to stress.

You can learn more techniques for this from my stress management book - kindle + pdf formats both available.

You are a life Saver!!

I recently discovered this site and I can tell you that my life has not been the same. I now come here EVERYDAY and spend at least 1 hour.

I used to spend that time browsing online fashion and beauty magazine which just means that I spend more. Now I have replaced that habit with coming here.

In future I will think about contributing articles as well. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! and God bless"
