Managing stress
The first step in managing stress is to pinpoint whats causing it. Stress is crying, loss of appettite, headaches, and oversleeping. Feelings of frusteration may go along with stress. Stress Management is the ability to maintain control when things in life make excessive demands.
When a situation arisis see if there is something you can do to change or control it. Remove yourself from the situation if only for a few moments or perminently. Some people often caused me alot of stress therefor they are no longer in my life.
Make sure to get plenty of rest because loss of sleep can make stress worse. if you are under alot of stress it is more likely you will not beable to sleep at night, then without enouph sleep you will be even more irritable an add even more stress.
Try to stop all the worrying. If you constantly have the "what ifs" and fears that are not productive, its time to stop. Constant worrying takes a toll on a person. It sends your anxiety levels sorring and can cause you to stay up at night. The good news is worring can be stopped, its a mental habit that you can learn to break by training your brain to stay calm and take a more posative outlook on life.
Everyone should take your vitamins. Low levels of certain vitamins mabe linked to stress levels. A vitamin B deficiency has been linked to nerve problems. Vitamin suppliments can be found at most grocery stores. Magnesium is also recommended since people who are under stress often have a deficiency.
Sex is the best stress reliever for me. I feel so much better and more relaxed. I believe this is why people who are grouchie and moody are told they need to get alittle. Orgasm itself has many benifits for your health and for stress management.
