How to deal with every day stress?

Exercise helps, deep breathing, listening to soothing music, prayer.  If the stress is causing you serious anxiety then you can talk to your doctor and they can prescribe an anti-anxiety medication such as ativan.\n\nOne thing I've found to be the most helpful for me is to monitor my self-talk.  When I have a negative thought, I try to analyze how realistic or rational it really is and then replace it with a more positive and realistic thought.

The key will be diversion.  When we focus on the problem or the issue, we amplify it and actually it cane become worse.  So the best advice is to do something different, each day.  The best thing anyone can do for any emotional concern is something physical.  It is as simple as walking.  Go for a walk.  Gradually make it a longer walk or walk for a longer time, but keep it fun and enjoyable, something you look forward to doing and want to do.\n\nIf you are physically able, begin a simply program of running.  I am 65 now and run regularly.  I can easily say, I work at staying nice and staying happy.  And it works.

Well for starts you get away from what is causing you the stress for a while. You then should do an activity you like which will keep your mind off the stress. But if you can't get away from it  taking a few deep breathes and relaxing ur mind will help a bit.

1. Have a positive attitude, no matter what, everyone goes thru hard times.  What defines us is how we handle those trying time. \n True character is built on hard times.  \n\n2. Exercise.  It clears the mind and promotes good health.  Something as simple as a daily walk does wonders for your mental health.\n\n3. Adopt a pet.  I know it isn't always possible but it you can, do it. Studies show that owning a pet reducing a lot stress!  Pets will always be there for you and love you unconditionally!\n\n4. Have a support of people around you.  Isolation can lead to depression, a major mental illness in this country.  Not everyone has family around for that.  Go out and make friends with similar interests as yourself!\n\n5. For me the most important is having faith.  Something to believe in, a higher being.  Seeking him during difficult times gives you hope for a better tomorrow.    Hope this helps.

I think you need a girls day out. I don’t mean just a day of hanging out or shopping, but go get hair done, go to spa, maybe even two days. You need to have some time centered around you, for you. If all these outside things are stressing you out and having a outlet helps but is not the trick then you need to take some time. You and your best friend, go do something you would not normally do, step outside of your daily routine. What is fun and relaxing to you? Do that. Set up a plan to attack one problem at a time, and you and your support system attack it one at a time and slowly there will be less.

u can't always get rid of stress, it is part of life, and will always be there in one way or another.  stress is not the problem, its how u deal with it.  some people use exercise, meditation, talking to a close friend and u can always go to the Internet, to find out different ways to deal with your stress.   i believe you are 16 years old, that in itself is a stress full part of your life.  raising your self esteem at that age is difficult also, but if you go on the Internet there are ways to help you raise your self esteem.   pamper yourself, get hair and skin conditioners for yourself eat properly and get a good nights sleep  try to stay away from over the counter medications, you are too young to be dependent on some of these "cures"   believe in yourself, you are a beautifull person, there is no one in the world like you, as you get older you will be able to handle the stress better.  if all else fails, and u feel so miserable, talk to school councellor, or family doctor.  keep your spirits up life will get better for you   good luck

Make sure you meet your basic needs. Eat healthy food and get plenty of rest and exercise. If you have a problem in front of you.. take steps to solve it. If there is no immediate problem, tell yourself that you are alright. After a few times of reminding yourself that you're alright, you might find that your rollercoster emotions calm down some. So many of us make ourselves stressed out.\n\nIf there are no people at work to talk to, find a support group outside of work. It can be a therapy lead group or just a group of friends that you hang out with. Make it part of your life to laugh and have joy and find somehting beatiful every day. \n\nIf none of this works, seek professional help.

Cool water. not too cold. drink it.\nThen take a cool (not cold) shower and go to bed. Do not sleep with a light on! Try to reduce your stress level. \nExercise is great for stress. just 10 or 15 minutes two or three days a week can make a real difference. Open a window. Fresh air is the best. helps the blood circulate and if it is migraines that's the best thing. Also, try not to get over heated or too cold.

Each of the answers you received have some helpful advice.  One thing that helps  is realizing that, if you are doing the  best you can with the resources you have, no one can ask for more.\n\nIt is important that you also look at what is producing stress outside of work.   How are you dealing with it?   Maybe you could profit from some professional counseling to help sort out what can be resolved and what cannot.  \n\nSelf care is extremely important in time of stress.  Keep you fluids level all day long as well as eating properly.  Get rest and exercise.  Sometimes hitting a body bag will help destress you.  (If you don't have a body bag, working out dancing or walking or jogging or doing housework, etc., will turn on the endorphins in your brain and help you destress.\n\nDebriefing with a trusted friend is another out.\n\nPrayer and meditation helps put everything in perspective.\n\nMy Italian grandmother had a tried and true receipe for sorting out things to stress about and things to let go.  She always asked this question: "What will it matter a hundred years from now?"    For her, family mattered and would continue to matter 100 years from now.  Now all you have to do is use it as a criteria of whether or now whatever you are stressing about will still matter 100 years from now.

Get help from a trusted friend or a Life Coach. I'm a Life Coach and I help clients make sense of their overly expressive emotions and explore ways of creating a more calm self.  You're missing some part of what's really going on with you.  Try slowing down.  Yoga was suggested and this could be helpful to you.  Meditation is good too. People use a variety of things to help maintain a high level of awareness and positive ways to connect with yourself.  Check out the book, "Wherever You Go, There You Are".  Learn breathing and relaxation techniques.  Even simple changes like having a balanced diet, making sure you're getting proper exercise and sufficient sleep while maintaining a low-stress lifestyle can be priceless in helping you cope with your day to day life.  Maybe you need some changes.  Our lives have a way of speaking to us and retaliating if we aren't quite happy with ourselves.

Life is too short to live it with stress over little crap that won't be remembered 2 weeks from now. Learn to do deep-breathing exercizes and keep repeating to yourself "it's only life and it sure beats the alternative"

I know that stress in life can be unavoidable at times. Why, any change in ones situation is considered a source of stress. Exam your life and your current obligations. Determine if there are some things that you are currently doing that you can stop or delegate to others. \n\nTry to schedule in some daily "me" time when you can just do something that you find totally relaxing, even if just for 15 minutes. Think about things that you like to do, that makes your happy, or that you find relaxing. Have a mini daily retreat where you can refocus, replenish, and rejuvenate your soul.

Haha, with a boyfriend, college, work, and every other thing in your life, of course you are going to be stressed. That's just life for you. I think maybe to be less stressful youself is to realise that through your entire life, you will have to face a lot of it. I don't think to be an average, healthy person there is anyway you can eliminate ALL stress in your life. Instead you have to learn how to deal with it. Try doing just the simple things that you enjoy doing more often. Try to relax and take breaks even for just a short while.\n\nAlso, remember, we're all in this together. I've had some really bad luck and fucked up times in my life so far, but you gotta learn to move on and get passed those things. Gotta remember there are people much worse off than you and I. Be thankful for what you have... you have a boyfriend, you're going to be graduating college, you have a job, I mean, you already sound like you have a decent life. ;p

Hobbies are wonderful.  Meditation, pets, music, hitting a pillow, a glass of wine, reading, games, getting massage regularly, giving massage to a significant other, sex, laughing (preferaably not at the same time), entertainment like movies or TV, etc.  Pick something you like and do it.  The biggest thing I have seen that helps...just staying active mentally and physically.  FI you feel good you will look good and be your body and mind will not get as stressed and not hold as much stress.  Hope it helps.
