Answer 1

Tips:

1. Read -- a good book can be really relaxing. Take at least an half an hour every day to do a little comfort reading.
2. Music -- Zoning out and listening to your favorite tunes for a half an hour or more can make your anger melt away, and also give you time to think.
3. Plan ahead -- Make a schedule for yourself so that you aren't constantly worrying about what you need to get done and when.
4. Rewards -- Treat yourself when you attain your goals, even little ones.
5. Sleep -- Make sure that you get plenty of rest, or you won't have the energy you need to tackle life's little problems.
6. Take up a hobby -- A new interest will divert your attention and help you to forget about being angry.
7. Eat right -- Proper nutrition will help you to concentrate and give you the energy you need to feel better.
8. Sweets -- Taste great, and the sugar can give you a boost when you really need it.
9. Exercise -- Gives you endorphins, and burns off the sweets.
10. Talk -- If there are specific things that are bothering you, TALK to somebody about what's going on, whether it's your parents, siblings, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, or even a random stranger you meet online. Specific help is far more helpful than generic advice. If a certain person (or people) is the issue, then it is best to talk to that person about why you're angry, and how they can help.

Answer 2

Are you having problems right now that are on your mind? I'm like that a lot of days. Maybe you need to see a counselor to get to the root of what's bugging you. Even a crisis line can guide you to who to talk to. I know for me that if I start the day out angry, the day is a mess! Maybe if you try and be a little positive each day and find something you really enjoy doing, you might not feel so stressed. Not a quick fix, just an idea. Take care!

Answer 3

try to change the position of your bed it might have some effect on how you sleep and how you wake up, try before you sleep to have this golden dream where you make it all so much better if you cant have it in real why not start getting it in your dreams for starters .also scent candles can begin to relax you and get an obsession anything to get your mind away from you realize that you are what you think so change your thinkinghabbits radical from negative to positive it makes your world turn and you are not the only one and the good thing about being so low is that the only way is up ,you cant sink deeper so start climbing out of that dump you got yourself into in the first place, also i dont know for how long you feel this way if it is some years oyu might want to see a doctor as some medication might help you to make the change and stay out of it for good.Good luck.

Answer 4

u should be relax, stop thinking those things that making u stressful dont let ur mind explode of being exhausted. try to watch the movie or talk with your friends and hangout.

I must say, there are some really good answers here to your question!

I found an on-line heath guide that has this information about stress management.

Did you know that 90% of doctor visits are for stress related symptoms?

The impression is that the feelings of stress come from outside sources when, in reality, it happens inside of us. When we feel as though we are under pressure, our bodies react the same way that we have trained them to do with a rise in blood pressure, tightening of muscles and accelerated breathing.

These physical symptoms are generally referred to as “fight or flight” responses. This is a term left over from historical times when the choices were to flee or stand and fight. Unfortunately, today we don’t have those options. Each situation must be dealt with and that’s where the stress comes in.

But too much stress leads to troubles that can range from upset stomach to anxiety attacks and even as serious as heart attacks.

There’s a whole arsenal of stress busting tools available that we will discuss here. Hopefully, the more you understand your stress, the better prepared you will be at controlling your body’s response to stress and restoring a calmer state of mind.

WHAT IS STRESS?
Chemically, stress is a condition that your body enters as the result of a message received from your brain telling it to prepare to run or fight.

The body reacts by preparing for that eventuality. The brain tells the adrenal glands to send a rush of two hormones (adrenaline and noradrenaline) to the muscles in preparation for them to respond to a fear or a threat.

It is the job of the brain to protect the body. It accomplishes this by telling the noradrenaline to redirect blood flow from lower priority areas of your body (like skin or your abdomen) to the muscles to give you a “power boost.”

At the same time, the brain is also telling the adrenaline to speed up your breathing to take in more oxygen to feed the work being done on the muscles with the noradrenaline.

Unfortunately, when you can’t make a decision about how to react (fight or flight), these two hormones are caught in limbo rushing around madly waiting for you to decide what you want them to do.

Since you aren’t doing that, the only choice they have is to cause vomiting, make you tremble, panic or maybe even pass out.

It’s actually a very efficient process and has worked wonderfully for thousands of years. When we were running across the plains barefoot with a spear in our hand bearing down on supper, we needed this process to protect us.

Indeed, the entire system is just the result of the brain doing what it is supposed to do … keep the body functioning and protect it.

We no longer chase the woolly mammoth nor does our survival revolve around running away from a rival tribe (well maybe just a little). The battles today are demanding employers, uncontrollable traffic, annoying neighbors, partners, children and oh yes, taxes!

Here’s where the interesting part of this analysis comes in. Even though our situation has changed, the chemicals are still there along with the vehicle to drive them.

It is merely a response to a perceived threat and the brain will set it in motion on a subconscious level even at the slightest sensation of danger. In fact it will DEMAND this action.

What is needed is the ability to change our programmed responses. We need to discern the difference between real threats and our own internalized perceptions of danger.

Logically you know that you don’t need them under most normal situations like: at work, at a party or when the kids are screaming in your ear. So what can you do? Some people turn to drugs or alcohol and others take out their frustration on the people they care about the most.

Naturopaths that use flower essences and muscle testing would be able to help you with this to get to the root of the problem. Do a search of these. My ND uses these and I find them very helpful.
