You Can be Great If You Really Want To

When managing stress, it is true that prevention is better than cure. What are the common causes of stress? A change in work pattern/lifestyle, rush hours, and heavy workloads, high expectations upon oneself, financial problems, and having to readjust to new life happen to many of us everyday.

There are various categories of stress symptoms. Common stress symptoms include migraine, fatigue, insomnia, high-blood pressure, loss of appetite, muscle cramps, hair loss, and irregularities of menstrual cycles in women.

There are also emotional symptoms of stress. When you are easily upset or angry, have extreme mood swings, are hostile, withdraw from other people and are always anxious and depressed, you should try to relax and manage your stress before things get out of hand.

Other common stress symptoms include forgetfulness, poor judgment, having a disorganized life, negative self-conception, feeling unmotivated, having negative views about many things, and lacking interest.

Stress symptoms can be identified in school children too. You will know that the child is stressed when he/she exhibits behavior and clues such as declining school grades, no effort to join others in a group but rather withdraw from other, no interest to participate in school activities, absenteeism from classes, escapism, vandalizing school properties, concentrating poorly in class, breaking school rules, smoking, and disrespecting friends and teachers.

Can you identify which are the ones that you often experience? Stress management varies with different stress symptoms. Counseling usually works with almost all kinds of stress symptoms. Sometime, medication is also required when necessary, either by seeing a doctor, or using herbal remedies depending on the level of stress. But first and foremost, the things that really matter is that we develop positive thinking in oneself, live one day at a time, exercise regularly, release the tension away, get plenty of rest, and enjoy what we do.

Living in the corporate world means living at a fast pace. From Monday until Friday you have to face the same stressful events. By the weekends, you have to meet commitments to you family, yourself and friends from outside you workplace. During public holidays you try to find ways to effectively and usefully occupy the day. Petrol prices are up. Your car needs maintenance. It’s no longer safe to go out late at night in the parks. You have to be careful even when you are outside of the house because someone might snatch your possessions. When you’re on holiday you’re constantly worrying about your home. The list of worries can go on.

Stress is now an undeniable part of life, but that doesn’t mean that there is nothing that can be done to give yourself a slight relief from it. Below are 5 simple steps of stress relief that you can learn and apply in your life:

1. Acknowledge Your Stress Realizing that you cannot avoid stress altogether, how about accepting the fact that you are stressed out? What are the causes of your stress? You may be able to overcome some of the stress factors, but some may be beyond your control, so just accept them gracefully with an open mind and let them go. Don’t force yourself to solve problems that are beyond your capabilities.

2. Go and Get a Massage You don’t have to spend a fortune on a good massage. Getting a good massage doesn’t mean that you have to hire a professional masseuse. Sometimes all you need for a good massage are a person you trust and a relaxing place to be.

3. Laugh It Off Watch comedies. Read comics. Share jokes with friends and family. Meet old school friends and reminisce about good old days. Forget disputes. Laugh it off. Laughing helps relieve stress because your body will release feel-good hormones.

4. Get Plenty Of Sleep Is the standard 8-hours-of-sleep enough for you? Not really, as different people have different needs. You might have to sleep for up to 12 hours, depending onyou’re your energy is lost. You might get a short nap in the afternoon and sleep late on the weekends. Sleep rejuvenates your mind and body, so you really need to get enough of it.

5. Pamper Yourself After a hard day’s work, or after you have met certain goals, you might want to reward yourself as a motivation to your next success. Get the vacation you’ve always wanted, buy that expensive dress, eat at your favourite restaurant, watch a series of your favorite movies. Just do anything that brings you joy.

1. Practicing Meditation

Do you feel that you are constantly under stress? Are you looking into ways to reduce your stress levels? The world is seemingly becoming faster, more demanding and more pressurized. Meditation can help you to relax and become a happier person.

Stress affects people in different ways. I personally feel very tired and lethargic during these periods and start to worry about things, like a future event. Other people suffer from panic attacks, become very shaky and nervous, feel sick in the stomach or become depressed.

There are many types of meditation. You can meditate by walking, praying, sitting or visualizing. There are also more ritualized forms of meditation, such as yoga and Mandala.

Meditation helps us to control our emotions, to think in a more relaxed and positive way and certainly helps us to think more clearly. Meditating also reduces an accelerated heart rate and lowers blood pressure, both of which will help in reducing feelings of stress.

2. Watching Sunset

Every day starts with sun shedding its light upon us. Planets rotate around the sun. The sun is the reason why trees and plants are able to produce. While we rush through our things, we seldom think about the benefits of being out in the sun. In fact, many of us try to avoid the sun due to media attention on the hazards of over-exposure to the sun.

Get some sunshine into your life. Watching sunsets and sunrises can become inspirational. Artists paint these scenes on canvas. Poets write beautiful verses about them. These scenes are powerful enough to inspire you to forget about your problems and motivate you to stay positive. The best thing about a sunset is that you can enjoy watching one wherever it’s convenient for you – a park, the beach, or even your car when you’re stuck in traffic. Steal every possible opportunity, because watching sunset calms your mind and relieves you of some stress on your head.

The sun is the main source of life. Without sun there would be continuous darkness, the word “day” won’t have existed in our vocabulary, we won’t know what a tree is.

So, the next time if you feel like making the sun your enemy, think again. Be thankful and get out there to get some sun on your face. Let the sun burn up your stress.
