7 Stress Tips-How to Deal With Stress

You are one very lucky person, if you have never been stressed in your life. Please let me know if that is you, as I?d love to learn stress tips from you! I have to a certain extent learnt how to deal with stress, but only when it starts to well up and rear its ugly head from within. So here are the 7 stress tips that keep me sane!

Try giving yourself enough time to do what you need to do, for example if you have a deadline, then make sure you plan out the work, whilst leaving enough time for mistakes and other eventualities. If you need to get somewhere, give yourself an extra 10-20 minutes traveling time, you might get stuck in traffic or your train could be late and there is no point stressing about it, because there is nothing you can do.

Another great tip on how to deal with stress is to take fifteen minutes out to meditate. This can be done by going into a quiet room, sitting alone in the toilet at work for fifteen minutes to de-stress, or my favorite way, which is listening to relaxing music combined with binaural beats to train my brain to relax on my MP3 player, wherever I am.

How about subliminal messages that pop-up on your computer screen, they do not affect your work, because they are too quick for you to really notice. What they do though, is sort of like the binaural beats and meditating – they help you relieve stress, relax and all sorts of others. Give them a try and if they work for you, stick with it.

Taking some time out the day to be nice to someone is perhaps one of the best stress tips I can give you. Forget about your stress for one moment, connect with someone by helping them, and your mood will be elevated instantly and everything will seem better.

Getting more physically exercise will also help with stress relief, as well as getting you fit in the long run. Whether it be jogging, battering a punch bag or just going for a walk, you will be surprised at how good it makes you feel to expel that excess energy.

Changing your diet, although not a quick fix, will definitely help your stress levels. Antioxidants from fruit and vegetables, which we should all have everyday anyway help boost your immune system, which in turn keeps down your stress levels low.

Out of all these stress tips, this is the one that helps keep me the sanest, and that is to remember to laugh! You know the saying ?Laughter is the best medicine?, well it’s true in the case of stress. When you feel yourself getting stressed, trying to inject some humor into the situation and laugh, it will make you feel better. After all, most things we get stressed about are not life and death situations, yet a lot of us are guilty of treating them like they are.

If you already have your own way of how to deal with stress, then that’s great, but if not then try one of these and see how it goes. You never know, using these few stress tips may surprise you and improve your life a bit at the same time.
