| Stressed to Your Last Nerve?

Are you stressed? Irritable? Having trouble sleeping? Do you feel like screaming? Crying? Pouring a jug of water over your boss's head?
We all feel stressed from time to time, so it is essential to have an arsenal of coping mechanisms at hand. Instead of heading for the refrigerator, here are some stress management tips that should help ease the pressures of life!
Breathe. No kidding! Taking in a few deep cleansing breaths and slowing down does wonders. Are you ready? Breathe deep.... inhale, exhale. Ahhhhhh.
Change your routine. Shake it up baby. If you've been sitting all day, get up! Let's get physical! Stretch. Walk. And ... if you've been lifting heavy boxes (anyone out there lifting???), then sit down and take a load off. Think deep thoughts.
Keep things in perspective. When you find yourself in an emotional twist, ask yourself ... "Will this matter in ten years? Five years? Tomorrow? In ten minutes?"
Smile and Laugh. Every chance you get. (Laugh lines are sexy!)
Add Vitamin C to your diet. Studies show that vitamin C knocks out the secretion of stress hormones.
Pray: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. ~ Isaiah 26:3 KJV

I usually punch and kick things. Not a good idea. Your ways are much better.

I usually let off stress by doing unacceptable things such as being very irritable to people that don't deserve it.
Your ways are much better. I will try and do some of the things I used to do. Today I actually walked on the treadmill for 10 minutes to relieve my anxiety. It really did help. I have an anxiety disorder with Bi Polar.
Oh well we can't all be healthy, now can we?

Music and beer have always been my stress relievers. At least the music has no bad side effects.
