Managing Stress  

Music is excellent for managing stress. I use it in the classroom to create calm. Even if the students don't get into the music I choose (usually Jazz, sometimes "classical") it keeps me calm and I am better able to deal with them.

For me shopping, yeah I get relaxation actually after seeing those beautiful clothes, shoes, bags and etc.

Sitting at the bank of the sea. Yes I really feel fresh watching the small fishes in different colors, smelling the cool air from summer breeze, staring on the waves.

Lastly after I joined here in mylot, I never experience of that stress, I'm so happy every now and then. I keep on reading and responding discussions. Sometimes I started topics for 3 to 5 new every session.

To share the ideas and opinions and take the same is such an enjoying activity!
I am happy here in mylot. And with this I could say that it's my other way to ease from stress.

Stress has become a part of our daily lives. Managing stress is necessary for it will only lead to certain sickness. Most of the diseases are associated with stress. One good way of managing it is walking. It helps ease tension in your muscles Listening to soft music while closing your eyes is also one good way. Just feel the music as it calms you down. Another thing is our way of thinking. We should focus on the now. Let us not be tied up with the past for it cannot be undone. Let us not be overwhelmed with the future for it will take care of itself.

You can say stress is a slow poison to body. So try to be as much as away from stress. Stress makes you take wrong decision. It fills the mind of the people with anger. So try to handle your stress. When i get stress out i go for a ten count by closing my eye and dreaming about beautiful things or i listen to music. If i am at home then i play computer games to reduce my stress.
These are the ways by which I reduce my stress.

Well, personally stress can be both positive or negative. It can be a eustress or a distress, but excessive of any can lead to debilitating experience.

Personally, I managed stress by just eating right, stop blaming myself for the things that I don't like and accepting things as they are, and drinking teas that can be helpful. Personally, teas that are helpful are chamomile, passiflora, and valerian. All did great for me.

Exercising too, of course helps.

For me its painting and watching movies. That's what I do to escape from stress and after that day I'm already smiling and happy, coz I'm renewed. Sometimes simple activity like a good night sleep or an exercise can help too. If I only have a swimming pool that would be really relaxing you know.

Hi, thanks for sharing the methods, at present the social competition is growing, and we are all work under pressure, reduce pressure is very important, thanks for sharing the methods for reducing pressure, I think I will choose do more excises and listening the music, this is a good way for relax myself.

Hi streetcar, I strongly agree with the activities you are suggesting :) try exercising- yoga and running are fun! Listen to music that will make you feel better. Probably read a book or a magazine from time to time. Have a comfort group or talk to your friends and spend time with them, to just chill and talk about anything at all. Stress is very rampant but anyone can manage it :) just remember that the more you are stressed, the more you may not be able to finish and do your work the best way you can. Relax and have fun also!

that is a good advise, streetcar. i will try to walk every morning because i think i lack exercise. i don't have a time to go to the gym and the only chance i can see is to walk from our house to the pick up point of our shuttle service going to our company.

happy mylotting!ü
