How to I get rid of stress?

Question

I need ways to get rid of all my stress because it has taken its toll on me and no matter what I try it won't go away. I don't feel like the same person and I need help finding a solution. Please don't say yoga or meditating because those DON'T work whatsoever for me.

It is not just that I had a stressful day, or week! This has been going on for almost over 2 years now, where I just feel stressed and anxious about everything and I don't know why.

Answer 1

Anything that you can do that'll cause endorphins to be released into your blood stream should make you feel better; so exercise, going to an amusement park, falling in love, having sex, and all kinds of other things can accomplish that, but those basically mask whatever underlying problem there is.

You're probably stressed because you're afraid of something. Fear is the strongest emotion. You may be so afraid that you don't even want to face the root fear. If it's one of the typical ones, it has to do with your basic needs: food, shelter, security, family or friends. The way to get rid of your stress if it's based on a fear, is to figure out what you're afraid of. Then figure out what to do about that fear. If you're afraid of being abandonded by friends or family, make new friends. If you're afraid your house isn't secure, get an alarm. You see where I'm going with this.

If you don't think you can figure it out, get help.

First of all...try to fit in a small snack or something in the middle of the day between breakfast and when you eat next, it should give you more energy, even if it's a granola bar. Also you should drink more water. that should hopefully help with your diarrhea and cramps.

As to your stress...you need to make time for you...just so you can breath! I personally will go out for a walk or a jog, exercise is one of the best ways for your body to release stress. try and give yourself at least 15 minutes to have you time a day. Also try to go get an hour massage. you are not too young for one either, just in case you were wondering. :)

Get to feeling better! good luck with your studies!

Have you considered spirituality? Prayer always reduces my stress faster than anything else. I suffer from nervousness, and prayer always seems to calm me down. The following are some suggestions:

Supplication

Supplication is asking for our prayer to be answered. The set prayers from religious traditions can set us in the frame of mind that something outside our ordinary daily thinking and experience can intercede in our lives. Depending on our personal belief system we call this higher wisdom by various names or qualities.

We can ask for events to turn a certain way when we want a specific outcome, or we can ask for the best (though perhaps unknown to us in the moment) outcome to happen in our lives or in others' lives in general. Both ways we are intentionally putting forth our energy. A prayer asking for the 'best' outcome:

Meditation

Through meditation we come to experience our eternal Self. We know about our sensory organs; we know about our emotions; we know about our thinking mind; but until we still our body, emotions, and thinking mind, we do not have conscious contact with our soul, which is part of the main eternal core of Self. The joyful effects experienced from the inner stillness of meditation eventually flow outwardly into daily life. Joy invigorates us with plenty of lively energy for caring and sharing; in joy we feel happy and fulfilled.

Going within, reflecting, brings forth a clarified reality, free of stress. When we perceive past and ongoing events clearly, we see where we are heading. Living each moment with care and in our highest consciousness of good allows happiness to flower.

Productive work, contemplation for guidance and inspiration, and play for enjoyment are a winning combination allowing personal harmony and achievement in everyday living. A Meditation Practice

Preparation: Sit on a carpet, folded blanket, or pillow on the floor with back and head erect, eyes closed, legs folded in, hands clasped and resting in lap. Alternately, sit on a chair with spine erect, eyes closed, hands clasped and resting in lap.

Breathe evenly in and out, with no breath retention, while mentally repeating an uplifting word such as 'peace' or a short phrase or prayer, all the while feeling love for at least one other person in order to grow in loving consciousness.

In this bodily stillness the mind relaxes and becomes more peaceful allowing stress to wash away.Appreciation

Appreciation uplifts both the giver and receiver. A smile is an appreciation. A gentle touch or hug conveys loving appreciation. Encouraging words appreciate a person's potential. Sharing shows we care.

Appreciation goes forth through our thoughts, words, actions, and returns the same instant as uplifted energy in our body-mind. Consciousness awakens. Consciousness of love awakens.
uptight or stressed.

Application

It is through sharing the increased loving consciousness gained in the process of prayer in caring actions that we are able to more fully enjoy our human experience.
