7 Easy Stress Management Techniques for Newbie

By Lester Sim

Stress is just as true as life itself. Stress has been documented in infants as well as adults, though of course the levels of stress would vary for these two different age groups.

If you are constantly on the run, couldn't remember where you park your car, hardly any time for leisure, breathe out heavily, distance yourself from social life, look much older than your actual age, think about work even before your bedtime, lead a life full of schedules... chances are you are stressed.

Here are a few easy steps to manage stress:

1. View Stress Positively Sometimes a small dose of stress can motivate us to work harder to bring about more fruitful results. While it is true that all work and no play makes for dull living, all play and no work isn't very effective either.

2. Learn From the Best Look for someone you know who never forgets to smile at everybody, wave and be friendly despite the hustle-bustles of life. This is the person you should learn from on how to manage stress.

3. Remember to Exercise Take a 20 minutes walk outside the office building whenever tension really gets out of hand, or just bring your gym clothes and go to a park after work for a jog. Exercising regulates blood flow and pumps oxygen from the heart to the brain, making you energized and more alert.

4. Identify Causes of Stress For example, if reading this article makes you dizzy, perhaps you should begin to navigate to other segments of this website or get some hot chocolate drink and watch TV instead.

5. Live One Day At a Time Utilize your life daily by focusing on chores that should be done for the day. Worrying too much about tomorrow won't help that much. God willing, if you're honest, sincere, did your duty accordingly, hear no evil and see no evil; you are more blessed than 250 billion people on this planet.

6. Eat, Drink, Sleep, and Be Merry! Given that you get plenty exercises each day, eating and drinking should be something to enjoy and look forward to. Phrases like calorie counts, organic foods, and dietary supplements are the things written inside beauty magazines to encourage people to live up to other people's expectations. Buy a new dress and change your perfume. Learn to love and respect yourself as you are. Get at least 8 hours of sleep. You rule your life so nobody can tell you how to live. For singles, a Friday night at some club with a cute companion sounds fine, too!

7. Have Time For Yourself Indulge in a hobby and take time out to do it. You can sing in the shower, listen to music, get involved in sports that you enjoy.

Hopefully you can adjust or adapt these stress management techniques to suit your lifestyles and be able to successfully manage stress.
