Simple Ways To Cope With Stress_Anxiety

“I’m SO Stressed Out!”

It seems like you hear it all the time from nearly every one you know. Stress_Anxiety abound in this world today.

The statistics are staggering. One in every eight Americans age 18-54 suffers from an stress_anxiety disorder.

Women suffer from stress and anxiety almost twice as much as men.

So many women feel the need to be everything to everyone and that includes a paycheck earner, house keeper, mom, wife, daughter, and sibling.

The only problem with that is some women just don’t make any time for themselves thus contributing to their stress levels being at an all-time high.

We're living in very trying and difficult time and things don't seem to be getting any easier.

Stress is a normal function of everyday life. Only when it appears to take over our lives does it then become a problem.

Stress comes from the pressures we feel in life, as we are pushed by work or any other task that puts undue pressure on our minds and body.

Anxiety is a feeling of apprehension or fear and is almost always accompanied by feelings of impending doom.

There are three major approaches to manage stress_anxiety:

The first is the action-oriented approach.

In this method, the problems that cause stress are identified and necessary changes are made for a stress free life.

The next approach is emotionally oriented and in it, the person overcomes stress by giving a different color to the experience that caused stress. The situation, which causes stress, is seen humorously or from a different angle.

Sometimes if you don’t laugh at a situation, you’ll cry-uncontrollably. So learn to see the humor instead of the doom.

The third way is acceptance-oriented approach. This approach focuses on surviving the stress caused due to some problem in the past.

Here are some quick steps you can take toward relieving stress_anxiety.

(1) Don’t just sit there. Move! Exercise can be a great stress buster.

(2) Smell the roses. You need to detach from your daily activities and venture a little bit.

(3) Help others cope with their problems. You will be surprised how many people’s problems are worse than those you may be facing.

(4) Laugh a little. It relieves tension and loosens the muscles.

(5) Wear your knees out. Pray or as some might call it meditate. It doesn’t matter to me what you call it, as long as you have a place to run.

(6) Learn it is OK to say 'no' occasionally. You do not have to do everything your family, friends, and others ask. One huge problem people who are overly stressed out have is the ability to say “No” when they need to.

7) Make time for yourself your number one priority. What’s important is you. When you are healthy, those around you will be healthy!

These stress tips are simple cost effective methods to effectively check stress. They can be practiced anywhere and at anytime.

Stress is a normal part of life. In small quantities, stress is good, it can motivate you and help you be more productive. However,too much stress, or a strong response to stress, is harmful.

I'm not a doctor and these tips should not take the place of one. These are just simple things you can use to help cut the stress and anxiety in your life.

If you think you have too much stress in your life, it may be helpful to talk with your doctor.
