5 Ways To Handle Stress

5 Ways To Handle Stress
Stress is condition of pressure that jams our mind and takes us to the depth of frustration. Frustration and Depression are the two terms I personally seriously hate and that’s the main reason I came up with these 5 ways to handle stress which I believe will definitely help you in Stress Management. Stress is confusing and tiresome. We get stressed because of our problems and our seemingly incapability of solving them. When our work, our emotions, personal life and time fail to match up, the exact feeling of disorder at that moment is Stress. However, the definition may vary with the source of your stress. Some are stressed because they can do nothing about their problems and many are trapped inside this puzzle of stress because they think they can do nothing about their problem. And there’s a big difference between two.

With stress come effects: on our health – physical and mental, our emotions and relations with the close ones. Everyone has their own ways of dealing with the stress they’re suffering from. Some like to yell out, some like to chill out, and many take stress as another added problem and hence get stressed. Well let’s not get stressed out understanding all these sharpness of stress which is definitely not going to help out dealing with it. Let’s head to 5 ways to handle stress:

1. Get Disconnected:

The best way to find relief is by finding peace. In this chaotic daily life, we can only find peace if we are able to get disconnected for a while. Switch off your cell phone, logout yourself from your computer and just stay alone. Try not to think about the problems that are roaming around. Find a nice place, a peaceful park or a silent-environment-providing café and enjoy the quietness.

2. Start refusing:

You are completely busy with a certain tasks and there is this bunch of people asking you to do this and do that and you keep doing it or at least trying it. Stop being a volunteer and start refusing. Give a straight ‘NO’ when you know you cannot do that and you do not want to do that. Do not regret your decision as you’re not where the world ends, the job will be done by someone else or by yourself once you get free.

3. Exercise:

Not asking you to go to gym and boost up your stress. Just stay relaxed and think about any sort of light exercises you know. Yogas are supposed to work good at these situations. If you don’t know either of them, not a problem at all, you can go cycling, hiking, swimming (it works best) or any other physical activity. Physical efforts are good for sufferers of sleeplessness too.

4. Think Positively:

Sounds lame? Oh, you’re a bit skeptic huh? Let me explain. Positive thinking doesn’t really means to think the thank-god-cows-don’t-fly way. Just remember the best times you’ve had in your life. Try and get back there in your head. Then think about how many times you’ve been in a problem, what was the biggest problem you faced last time and relate it; you’re still here in the middle of a battle with this new hitch. Things come and things pass, just let it be.

5. Listen to music

This one works the best for me. Pull on your headphones and play back the most peaceful song you’ve heard in your whole long life. In my case ‘Let it be – The Beatles’ and ‘Into My Arms – Nick Cave’ works the best. If you don’t want listen to some singer from dunno which corner of the world, just listen to tracks. This works even better, words somehow ruin the peace. If you take me suggestion I’d suggest tracks by “Beethoven.”

I know these are not the technical ways that you’d follow and your stress would disappear just like that – but for that matter, there are not any technical ways, are they? Just give these ways a try; try and relax and things will slow down for you.
