does any one know any good ways to relieve stress?

Answer 1

depends how old you are... an adult (preferably married) sex or not exercise, stress most of the time is pent up frustration...

Answer 2

Breathing is very helpful. I mean proper breathing. Sit up straight, take a deep, slow breath and hold it in for a couple seconds, then let it out slowly. Basic Yoga poses are helpful. Stretching is good too. Exercise is excellent.

Warm baths with lavender or patchouli oil can be very calming.

I read a lot, and I find that when I'm reading I can't think about the things that are stressing me, so it's very relaxing.

Another thing I do...I scream in the car. I'll go for a drive on the freeway or a quiet road (somewhere where you won't scare anyone), and scream as loud as you can. Once or twice does the trick. I have a sore throat after, but I feel better.

A glass of wine, if you drink, can help relieve stress (or a thick, sweet liqueur).

I had to write an essay on stress when I was studying Indian Head Massage, here are a few excerts from it which you may find useful; "It is important to differentiate between temporary stress that you know will go away when a situation is resolved, and long-term or chronic stress. Most people can cope with short periods of stress, and it can often be relieved by relaxing, taking a walk, chatting through issues with friends, or having a good night’s sleep. Chronic (long-term, continuous) stress is much harder to deal with, and can be psychologically and emotionally damaging, both for an individual and for friends and family." "The only real ‘cure’ for stress is to remove from your life the factor that is causing your stress. If it’s a relationship problem, the first step should be to talk it through with your partner. If it’s a work problem, you should consider discussing it with your colleagues or manager." "Many complementary therapies concentrate on relaxation and reducing stress. They can help calm your emotions, relieve anxiety and increase your general sense of health and well being. And there is an increasing amount of medical interest in the idea that positive emotions benefit your health. There are many alternative therapies available, such as, massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, accupuncture, reiki to name just a few. These therapies can promote relaxation, give the person time away from stressful situations, and on a physical level can promote general well being and help aching muscles and tension caused by stress." "There are also ways in which people suffering from stress can help themselves, and if a client told me they were suffering from stress I would tailor my treatment and the choice of oils to suit their requirements, I would also advise them of what they could do in their own time to promote relaxation and relieve stress: * Take the phone off the hook and have a warm bubble bath with candles and dimmed lights * Go for a walk * Practice deep breathing exercises * Join a yoga class * Listen to relaxing music * Read a book you enjoy to take your mind off stress I would also tell them that they should avoid nicotine, caffiene and alcohol as these will not do anything positive and won’t actually help to deal with the stress."

Stress is kinda like a hot air balloon, eventually it gets too full and blows. You have to have an outlet to releave all the stress from your body. Actually if you think you will find that you have more than one way to releave stress. At first try calm things like reading books or watching movies. If that doesn't work move on to things that get your brain moving, like video games or playing board or card games with friends. If that doesn't seem to help, than get your body moving till you sweat. Do things like baseball, basketball, tennis, running, swimming, or working out. All these things depend on the types of things you enjoy doing. Expand yourself to do things that you havent tried.
