what's the best way to deal with stress, anger, and frustration??

Answer 1

Just take a deep breath and realize that whatever is happening is really not as bad as you are making it out to be. Don't go to drugs, cigarettes, drinking, or anything like that because that will only make things worse. Whenever I get frustrated, etc., I always think of the past when I had a bad time, and many have I had, and that what is happening now does not even compare to what has happened before.

Some things that help are...
physical activity,
yoga,
just letting out a scream,
close your eyes and count to 10 (or 100 depending on the situation),
just take a deep breath of fresh air,
talk to a friend or family member about how your feeling,
start laughing for no reason.

There are probably a bunch of other things but this is what I do.

Don't worry, be happy!

Answer 2

Maybe it would help for you to understand your mother's background - how she was raised/how she grew up. Just because she is your mother doesn't mean she has all the right answers or equipped with good judgment. I am sure she means well but you need to let her know that although you want to please her and don't mind doing chores, sometimes, you feel chores are overwhelming and unfair...and that times have changed and nowadays, housework is fairly divided between men and women because a lot of women are getting great jobs too. Also, if you have a future goal or what you want to do with your life, share that with your mother and let her know how you plan on making it happen. For her to focus so much on you doing most of the housework and telling you that it's a woman's job...maybe she thinks that you're going to be a housewife someday and you have no other goals. She's just a little old-fashioned. Try to understand where she's coming from and let her know gently, where you are going in life.

There is a lot of "quick fixes" for stress, anger, etc. working out, exercise, sports, ....or even things like relaxing and having a cup of ice cream. Theres a lot of things to DO. Now all of these are great and you should do them too (especially any exercise not only relieves stress mentally but biologically releases chemicals to lower your stress levels.)

However, the next day, you might be stressed, angry, or depressed again. A lot of books/advice tells you what to do. But at the core of it, its not what you DO, but its how you should BE. Of course every problem is different....but in essence, problems are a state of mind. Everyone has problems but its how you react to problems that really determines if you have a problem or not. Why is it that some people get a flat tire and think its the end of the world while there are certain people who have great tragedies happen in their lives and yet they are generally happy?
When I'm getting really stressed out or angry, I try to think of all the reasons why I don't have it so bad as some other people.

Answer 4

Changing your view and perspective.

Integrate positive thoughts into your mind, force them if need be. Do this regularly when stressful/frustrating/angering circumstances arise, and with practice and time your neurons will move themselves to different receptors, so that in future experiences, you are able to deal with these situations with ease and you will have a whole new outlook on life.

Answer 5

Well, there are many ways to deal with it but, first you need to identify the source of all your problems, for example if you are having issues caused by a family member who drinks or uses drugs, then you should seek Al-anon a group for family and friends of alcoholics, or you can try a counselor but, mainly try to figure out what is cousing all those feelings and find a group or the appropiate help.

Answer 6

If you want to know the root of all your anger which is depression see a therapist. Otherwise, I think excercise is the best, it gets the endorphins going and it gives you a great natural high. The other advice is to write in a journal, it's helpful.

Answer 7

It varies from person to person, for me it's laughter. Just laugh at yourself or something around you. Think about if what you are stressing about is actually important. If you were to die at this moment and what was written on your tombstone the last thing you stressed about would it look ridiculous there? If yes, then stop stressing! If it belongs there then it's worth fighting for, you'll get through it.

Answer 8

see a Dr for meds=do something to relax you=take an anger management course=do deep breathing for the anxiety and stress

Answer 9

it depends. you may take a bubble bath, sleep, eat, read, break things(not recommended) or my personal favorite- scream into a pillow. of coarse there is always the ever so famous stress ball although many people dont that very effective. some people just find it the easiest though to just either talk it through by yourself of to a pet or close friend.

Answer 10

There are a lot of ways to get rid of stress. One way is therapy and it gets results. Another is yoga, martial arts, or meditation. There are many, many more...........I am just stating things that will help you the best.
