Stress, where did you come from?

Whether you are studying, working, running a business or just at home taking care of your children, stress is one aspect that will always there.

For me, this word is over-used and I hate to hear it (sad to say).  I know we will all get stressed at some point but instead of focusing on it, we should do something about it.  It is like a negative energy that will drain the life out of us and is something that we should get rid of or at least make it something better.


Stress is one of the reasons for so many illnesses and thus taking action about it will not only save us from these illnesses, it will also save us money and energy.


I was able to read this article from Healthline that I would like to share to everyone.

There are many articles to lessen stress, to fight off stress, to feel stress free and so on and so forth but this one for me are simple things that will help us to leave stress behind.


Some other tips to cope with unavoidable stress include:
  • Laughing a little every day.
  • Cutting stimulants (like caffeine and sugar).
  • Relaxation and meditation.
  • Talking to a friend or counselor.
Each one of us is unique and one coping mechanism may not be applicable to another person.  Therefore, I would suggest that we find our own candy for stress.  It can be as simple as satisfying a hobby or reading a comic book.  Eating is one coping mechanism but we should be careful as this might affect our health if we overeat sweets or processed food.  Healthy munchies that might relieve stress can be fruits and nuts (they are still sweet but healthy".


Happy Stress free to all of us!
