However, do you ever wonder about certain people who just don’t seem to get stressed out? How do they do it? The following techniques may help you feel more comfortable when facing the challenges of your job, relationships, family matters or everyday life.
1. Communication
A common problem for most of us is anxiety when dealing with communication. The fear of speaking causes you to worry. Express your thoughts through other forms of communication – whether it is a phone call or e-mail. No matter the outcome – you will feel better knowing that you have communicated, and now you can move forward.
2. Listen to Music
I find music to be very therapeutic. Music can make you forget your worries, lift your spirits and energize you. When things get you down, turn on your favorite tunes and let the music carry you to your “happy place.”
3. Laughter
This is a powerful tool to help fight stress. Watching a comedic movie or TV show will make you smile and laugh resulting in a better state of mind.
4. Massage Therapy
You will benefit from the relaxation of your mind and the stimulation to your body. It can be a fun activity with a significant other. If you have never had a massage, go get one!
5. Don’t Procrastinate
One of my favorites. Putting things off only to do them later in a rush often creates poor results. Get ‘er done!! You feel good when you finish what you started.
6. Exercise
A great way to make you feel better is to exercise. This does not mean go run a marathon –
a short walk or riding your bike can clear your head and give you inspiration to solve your problems.
7. Time Management / Planning
When most of us think about stress, one main component is time. You feel overloaded and become discouraged when you feel you don’t have enough time to complete your tasks. Schedule time each day for planning and you may find yourself with less stress and more time.
“The truth is that stress doesn't come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health
challenges, or other circumstances. Stress comes from how you approach and handle it.”
