Some ways to Manage our Stress

Are you stress out? Maybe yes or maybe not? But one thing is for sure stress is a part of our everyday life. Agree? Stress is the feeling of being overwhelmed or unable to cope with mental or emotional pressure. Source And everyday we cope up with different stress at home, our work, school, and even in every relationship. Stress can make us ugly too, that’s why we need to take up some stresstabs to get that glowing face back. Ok just kidding, but to be honest I used to drink those multivitamins before and I think it really works well with me. One stresstabs a day keeps the stress away. So what if we don’t have enough money to buy some of these supplements to manage our stress? Let me share some strategies or ways we can do to manage stress in our life.

Identify and eliminate stressors

What is stressor? A stressor is anything that causes the release of stress hormones. Source Basically there were a lot of stressors in our life, and unfortunately we can't reduce it one time. So the best thing to do is make a list of all the stressors you have in your life, either big or small. Some examples of it are job interviews, financial crisis, marriage and so many more. From then on you can identify what to change or you want to eliminate. For instance, if you have a lot of commitments that gives you a lot of stress on that same day, start reducing it. Organization is the key. If you can manage your stress successfully for sure you can eliminate the stressors as well too.

Taking a Break

“Have a break have a kitkat” This is a famous commercial line from one of my favorite chocolate. When everything seems to be out of hand, rest will definitely one of best solution. If you got tired or burned out with your everyday responsibilities, then take a rest or have some break. C’mon I know we all deserve a good relaxation after a long stressful work. You can simply pause for a while, take a nap and enjoy the rest of the day taking a break. Isn’t it the reason why we take some day off or rest day at work for us to give ourself a me time. And don’t forget we also take vacation from school to give our minds a break from all the hassles in school.

Get enough Rest

Having a break isn’t enough. Getting a proper rest can be a big help in managing our stress. If we are tired because of our everyday routine that causes us a lot of stress it will make us less patience. And you know too well what will happened next. We tend to overreact in a certain situations if we are tired. We would probably make a bad decision which will cause more stress in the future. So what to do? Set a proper bedtime for you to get a better sleep. A good sleep will make us feel better and view things in a more positive ways.

Proper Diet and Exercise

“You are what you eat” Do you believe in this expressions? If you would ask me, my answer is yes. A balanced diet gives our body the proper nutrition which is required to boost your energy and function well in everything we do. Actually we have the tendency to eat unhealthy food in the midst of stress. Keep in mind that if we have an unhealthy body we can’t deal with all the stress. So let’s make it a habit to have a nutritious meal most specially when we are under stress.

Physical fitness on the other hand, is also as important as our well being. There have been many claims or testimonies that says getting a regular exercise or work out can helped in managing stress. So what are you waiting for, a 15 minute work out from home is enough so that you can release all the stress in your body.

Sense of Humor

Laugh it out loud. There are times when we are under stress, we tend to lose our sense of humor. On our job for example, when the higher ups were pressuring us, we become too serious that we forget to even laugh. Laughing can make us feel good and it can even break some tension. It can also make the hard situation more lighter. So next time, don’t take everything seriously and look for something funny in every hard situation. After all laughter is still the best medicine.

Final Message

Life is too short they say, so why make it harder when you can enjoy the rest of it. Same with all the stress we had in life. Don’t let it control your life. By properly managing it, I am sure you can make your life more fun. With doing some of these strategies I know we can all manage our stress successfully.
