What is the best way to get out of stress?

Question

i really need to relax!

Answer 1

A man goes to a shop, picks up a beautiful cup and says "my god this cup is so beautiful" and suddenly the cup starts talking to the man. The cup starts saying "O man, I am beautiful right now, but what was the state of my being before the pot-maker made me a beautiful pot?

Before I was sheer mud and the pot-maker pulled me out of the mud from the mother earth and I felt why that pot-maker is so cruel, he has separated me from mother earth. I felt a tremendous pain. And the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me and churned me, when I was churned I felt so giddy, so painful, so stressful, I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me into a oven and heated me up, I felt completely burnt. There was tremendous pain and I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait."

Then he poured hot paint on me and I felt the fume and the pain, I again asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then again he put me into an oven and heated it to make me more strong, I felt life is so painful hence pleaded the pot-maker and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." And after that the pot-maker took me to the mirror and said, "Now look at yourself". And surprisingly I found myself so beautiful.

When god gives us lot of trouble, it appears god is very cruel but we need patience and we have to wait. When bad things happen to good people, they become better and not bitter.

So all difficulties are part of a cosmic design to make us really beautiful. We need patience, we need understanding, we need the commitment to go through in a very calm and wise way. So all difficulties are not to tumble us but to humble us.

With this understanding, let us not be against difficulty. Understand difficulty is a part of a purifying process. A purifying process at present which we cannot understand and hence we need faith and we need trust.

Let us understand how to handle stress with this background. You can be affected by stress from two angles. There is an internal stress and there is an external stress. Nobody can avoid stress; one has to only manage stress. Managing stress can be internal and also external.

The internal stress is; your thoughts can create stress, your values can create stress, and your beliefs can create stress, meaning thereby your stress is coming from your mind more from the outer world. Many people suffer not from heart attack - they suffer from thought-attack.

For example, when somebody says you are an idiot, we get so hurt, we get so victimised. My boss has called me an idiot and I am feeling tremendous pain. Now where does this stress come from? If my boss has called me an idiot, I have to ask myself "am I an idiot"?

If I am an idiot nothing to be upset about; and if I am not an idiot, then also nothing to be upset about! It is the perception of the boss. But why do we suffer from that stress? I suffer not because my boss has called me an idiot but because of the thought-attack.

I may say the boss has called me an idiot; therefore I am suffering? It is true that the words are unpleasant. But what hurts is the interpretation of the unpleasant word. The thought in me interprets. That is pain and therefore it becomes pain. Much of our stress is our mind interpreting it as pain. So we suffer from thought-attack more than heart attack.

Answer 2

You have to ask yourself why you have this stress.

Is it job related? Then maybe switching jobs in the near future would be a good idea. Is it because of poor choices in your life? Then making better decisions, well thought out, will get you less stress.

You also need to have good coping skills. Understand that some things you can change and some you cannot, know the difference. Let go of what you cannot change. Do what you can with what can be changed.

Relaxing takes some work on your part. Learn to put yourself in a quiet room and just sit, eyes closed for at least 10 minutes without thinking about anything or being interrupted. Listen to your own heart beat and concentrate on slowing it down.

Other things you can do are; take a nice bath with lavender oil, which is very relaxing. Drink soothing warm tea (caffiene free). Take time to enjoy life; look at the birds, a beautiful sunset, breath deeply often, it relaxes the body.

You don't get out of stress. If you think you can, you'll spend your whole life running to get away from it, and it will always catch up to you, just when you think you've gotten away from it.

The only thing to do is learn to live with it. You could say there are two kinds of stress: stress that pushes you toward positive action, and stress that takes you away from anything helpful for you in the long run. You have to learn what to accept and what to avoid.

For example, we take care of ourselves because of the pressure we feel to look attractive. That may seem like a bad thing, but it is actually a helpful thing. If we didn't feel that pressure, we would all be obese and dying of heart disease. Maybe americans would be better off if we cared a little more about being healthy and not just looking healthy.

You will be a lot less stressful if you exercised enough for you brain to be stimulated to release the endorphins it needs to combat the stress you feel. Think of them as doctor's orders - and it you need proof, ask your doctor. Exercise.

I recommend meditation and music as helpful ways to relax. Relgious study and prayer are calming to the system and helpful for brain's organization of logic and clarity of thought. Music connects the brain's expressive and methodological capabilities with great synergistic effects.

Food is helpful for relaxation. Not necessarily the food you are thinking - but healthy, organic, nutritious food does wonders for the brain. Other things are not impossible, just should be eaten with moderation. Drugs that are addictive and harmful to the system can and should be avoided if at all possible.

Finally - the best way to get rid of stress is to get outside of yourself. Stop worrying about yourself and think about helping another person with their problems. You will find that, even if for a moment, yours are gone.
Try those out - if you're still stressed, quit your job.

Answer 5

You and me both, sister.
Anyhoo, I doing the complete opposite to what you're used to doing. If you're a computer programmer, for example, then go and take a hike in the woods -- leave your techno stuff at home and enjoy nature; if you're a person who's occupation is connected with nature, then get on the computer and start blogging and having fun with techno-stuff.
Whatever it is that you do, or whatever it is that is making you stress, take a break from it and come back later on -- or not.

Answer 6

Take a nice warm bubble bath with some candles and soft music. Just totally let your mind go to wherever it takes you. This is the only way I have found to escape stress. Good-luck and let Calgon take you away!!

Answer 7

My Advice is give your anxiety and worries to Jesus! Know God loves you! He wants you to learn to trust him when things in life get you down! Look to God and Jesus to Supply your needs and Give Thanks to them when they answer your needs. The Bible says: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:6-7) Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6-7) Do you know that God loves you so much that he gave his one and only Son Jesus to the cross, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life! (John 3:16) Know that every time you feel any situation is to much for you, it is never to much for Jesus. I would encourage you to start a relationship with him by reading the word of God (the Bible) beginning with the Gospel of John. So, no matter what voices in your head bring you fear and anxiety, you will how do handle it with faith and thanksgiving!
