Everything You Need To Know About Stress

By Johnathan Black


It can be really frustrating to even think about all the stress in your life and how to deal with it, but the fact that you're here, says you want to do something about it and that's a good start. You have to stay positive and keep an open mind when you learn new tips and ways to reduce stress. Take some time to read this article and you may discover a few, new tips, on how to manage your stress.

Another very important factor in managing your stress is to understand that you can say no to things people ask of you. You need to be able to manage your own time, allocate your own 'me time' and accomplish your daily tasks. If you can manage your time well and select only the things that fit in to your schedule, you will be feeling less stressed overall.

Breathe deeply from your abdomen. This gets more oxygen to your brain, so that you feel relief from stress quickly. Many adults breathe from their chests, which causes shallow breathing that almost invites stress. Place your hand over your navel and visualize breathing from there and watch how much more relaxed you feel.

To calm down a stressed friend or family member, try giving them a piece of candy. Studies have shown that sugar gives our bodies a momentary relief from stress. Candy can help diffuse a situation when stress levels are at their highest, and will give your loved one a chance to get some perspective.

A great tip that can help you keep your stress in check is to listen to soothing music. There are many different genres of music that can have a calming effect when you listen to them. Enjoying a little bit of this music from time to time can help a lot. It is a great alternative to the unending bad news you hear on most radio shows.

A great way to reduce stress is not to sweat the small stuff. You have probably heard that before many times, because it is true. People with high stress levels tend to get upset about trivial things more often than people with low stress levels. Sometimes it is best to step away from a situation and think about whether it is worth getting upset over.

Hopefully, with all of the tips you just learned, you're already feeling like you can manage the stress in your life. Just remember to try and have a clear head and be positive. These tips won't work if you don't stay positive and try them out. Keep an open mind, relax and relieve all of that pent-up stress.
