Tips on Cutting Stress


Stress can be a very unwanted guest in life, especially if it's more stress than you can deal with. Unfortunately, obstacles and problems will get your attention and keep you from relaxing and focusing on other matters. Most of these problems stem from conflicts in the work place, family problems, or problems being in relationships. There are several ways to cut the frustrations of stress in your life. Relaxing is one of the main aspects of managing stress. I have found that doing certain breathing exercises can be a great way to reduce tension and stress in the body. While sitting or standing, you can inhale slowly through your nose while counting to five, and let the air out of your mouth while counting to eight. Doing this several times will help you relax. Excercise and Meditation are great stress reducers. Excercise can include walking, whether walking your dog or walking in a place that will give us a sense of serenity and joy. Meditation can put you in a similar state of mind as in sleep which can be beneficial to warding off stress. Focusing on helping others can also get your mind off your own problems. For instance, you can find time to volunteer or help someone in need.
