Quick Ways To Help You Manage Your Stress How would you like to live the rest of your life without stress? Unfortunately, a stress-free life is virtually impossible. Actually, a small amount of stress is perfectly healthy. Unrelieved stress is the problem; it can build up and interfere with your ability to function. If you do not manage your stress it is harmful to health, these suggestions will help you get it under control. Most people who are dealing with high levels of stress in their lives tend to gravitate towards alcohol and tobacco as an outlet for their stress. However, these activities actually increase levels of stress. If you want to reduce your stress, it is in your best interest to avoid tobacco and alcohol consumption. Release some of your tensions and stress by engaging in physical exercise. Even taking a quick walk around the block can help relieve the tension of the day. Try to control your breathing. Breathing deeply gets more oxygen to your blood and brain, which helps to relieve stress chemicals. When people are under a lot of stress, they tend to take shallow breathes filling up only the upper chest with air. Shallow breathing like this tightens up your chest muscles and speeds your heart rate, making you feel even more stressed. Taking long and deep breaths when you are under stress will help you reduce your stress levels. Breathing deeply is effective in calming yourself down whenever you feel overwhelmed and anxious, and research has shown that if you do this regularly, your stress can be reduced. TIP!

Holding on to the idea that you can change these kind of situations will cause harmful stress to your body. Once you are aware that you can’t control everything, you can focus on the positive things in your life. TIP! Even if your life is extremely busy, regularly take breaks for yourself.
