How do i relieve from stress & anxiety ??

Question

Its become a habit with me to get easily tensed up with little things. Something that's not happening correct or not in order makes me anxious & irritated. You can say that i am stupid enough to take tensions & be worried the whole day regarding my studies, my life , my responsibilities, my future, what should i do ? Whom should i trust ? What is good for me ? I rarely remain relaxed. When everything seems to be allright something else crops up to cause me stress & anxiety.
Now a days i don't get a wink of sleep before its 1:00 or 2:00 am. Stupid thoughts & worries keep pestering me & i keep rolling over the bed before i get some sleep. I get head aches.
I am spoiling my health !!

Answer 1

You can get good relief by practicing proper Breathing techniques, Meditation and doing Yoga on daily basis. Apart from his you can hae regular prayers and make habit of reading spititual books regularly-

Controlled Breathing Techniques-
When you are anxious, you tend to breathe shallowly, using your upper chest muscles. Your breathing can become extremely rapid and erratic, leading to hyperventilation. Controlled breathing is a technique that you can use to counteract this stress response and induce a state of calm within 3 to 5 minutes. Try this simple technique, using the following steps:

-Lie on your back, placing one hand over your heart and the other on your abdomen.
-Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose for a count of 4.
-Watch the hand on your abdomen rise as you fill your lungs with air, expanding your chest. (The hand over your heart should barely move, if at all.)
-Hold your breath for a count of 4.
-Exhale slowly through the mouth or nose for a count of 4.
-Repeat for 10 full breaths. Work up to 2 or 3 sets of 10 breaths each.

Meditation -

Meditation is a practice of concentrated focus upon a sound, object, visualization, the breath, movement, or attention itself in order to increase awareness of the present moment, reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance personal and spiritual growth.Meditation benefits people with or without acute medical illness or stress. People who meditate regularly have been shown to feel less anxiety and depression.

Yoga - You can start doing Yoga with simple ASANAS. Yoga has been used to alleviate problems associated with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, migraine headaches, asthma, shallow breathing, backaches, constipation, diabetes, menopause, multiple sclerosis, varicose veins, carpal tunnel syndrome and many chronic illnesses. It also has been studied and approved for its ability to promote relaxation and reduce stress.

For the time being you need not go to Doctor and I suggest the above methods, as going to doctor will make you addict to stress cure medicines, which can not be discontinued later. Also do not try sleeping tablets. -

First of all you are not stupid. Stress is difficult to deal with. It sounds like you have everything going on in your head at the same time and it is hard to sort it out. I understand how that feels, I was very stressed out for a long time, anxiety was a constant until I felt as if I was losing my mind. Everyone is different, but I will let you know that the best thing that happened to me was when I spoke with my Dr. honestly and let her know how I was feeling. She was able to prescribe an anti anxiety pill that has made a world of difference to me. I am able to concentrate on one thing at a time, most of the time. Sleep is not always easy, but I have a relaxation CD that really helps me to relax and fall asleep. There are many on the market, I suggest that you give one a try. I also think that speaking to a Dr. is a good idea. You deserve to life a life free from constant anxiety and stress. Take a chance, I pray that you will not be disappointed. God bless you and good luck, And again, you are not stupid.

There are a few questions that need answering. How is your family background? Are there small arguments in the house daily? Are you in college? Do you associate with boys? Since when did this problem start?
There are 2 types of stress. Physical and Mental. You can do away with physical stress but it will take a great effort by you to rid of mental stress. There are a lot of things which remain embedded in your subconscious mind. These have to be dealt with.
An hypnotherapist can be of real help to you. A psychiatrist will prescribe tranquilizers which are habit forming. My suggestion is that you do yoga, pranayama and meditation.
There are many like you who take to tensions easily over petty matters. It is not easy to get rid of them.
Take Rescue Remedy - mother tincture - 4 pills 3 times daily - on your tongue for a month and let me know. You should be fine.

anxiety is a individual trip, what works for me may not work for you even though it is a universal positive thing.

1. love your self....no one is perfect,so cut your self a break

2.go hug a tree, sit under a tree and do [RECHARGE- DISCHARGE]

while sitting under the tree imagine ,light,sky energy, water energy ,ground energy,ground magnetic energy poring into you.

discharge--discharge all the anxiety, pain,worry,and problems ,out though your but,into the earth,as far as you can imagine them going ,like to china.

breath in [recharge] breath out [discharge] and do that until you start to feel GROUNDED

3.go into the wood ,is a standard good thing

4.bed--fill your room with spiritual pictures, burn some incense and light a candle, and stare at the flame ,imagine all the negative thoughts and emotions going in to the candle flame like a door way to a nother dimension.

5.get some nice music and play it on the head phones befor sleep ...remember to blow out the candle we don't want to start a fire.

6.find someone you trust and tell them your problems

7.ma be your a night person ,its 2 am here and I'm not stressing

8.stress and anxiety is a natural part of life,no one is totally peace full.so stop worring about things you cant change and change the things you can change.

you can e-mail me ,have a few books i can give you the title to

Answer 5

Dealing with stress is a process, not a quick fix. There are three essential steps in successful stress management?

The first step is to acknowledge that you are having problems with excessive stress in your life and you now recognize that you have to start managing it because your health may already be suffering from it.

The next step is to learn about effective stress management techniques so you can finally get organized and more importantly, commit to this new endeavor. Stress management requires a bit of effort in order to work, but the rewards are endless and truly worth your time and effort.

The third and final step is to plan and take action. You need to set goals for yourself and reward yourself when you attain those stress management goals. Rewarding yourself will help keep you motivated and can also help you forget your old stress-related habits.

Getting stressed is a harmful habit, but it’s a habit, nonetheless!

Many people will find this unbelievable or even impossible, but being stressed is actually a conscious choice. Our stress response is actually triggered by our thoughts and emotions. If you are a relatively normal and healthy individual with no mental illness, then there’s no reason not to be able to control your conscious response to stressful situations.

I know that a lot of you are thinking that I’m “off my rocker” for thinking that stress is a choice or even a habit. However, modern studies of stress and its origins and effects on the human body show that the actual stress response that you experience is the final chain in a long process that starts when you perceive something as stressful.

When a person perceives something as stressful, negative emotions begin to surface and he begins to suffer from psychological stress.

When you are psychologically stressed and your negative emotions are running high, that is the time when your body responds to your mental and emotional states by releasing chemicals that trigger the physiological stress response.

There are many excellent resources that can help you prevent stress and manage it if you’re already experiencing it. One of my favorites is The Professional’s Stress Relief Handbook. I keep it handy at my office and my home desk. Read the techniques, take note of the strategies but most importantly, start applying the things that you learn as soon as you can! http://www.stressreliefhandbook.com

Dear Friend,

You need to listen to some good music. Everyone has some favorite songs that they heard when they were in their prime of life - or the best times of their lives. Some tunes are really kick-*** type and make you feel like a winner. They infuse you will lot of energy and 'just-do-it' attitude. Listen to such songs.

I have seen many people advising you to meditate. No doubt, it is a very good suggestion. But it does not work for all. I have seen it acting negatively on some people. They tend to lose interest in life and interest in work when they meditate. They lose their agility and reflexes that are needed in today's world to compete and succeed.

In a nutshell, all I can say is this: If you want to win, Act like Alexander - the Gret. Don't think too much . Just know that you are a winner and you have every right to bulldoze your way to success with your hardwork and 100% focus on your work.

Good luck.
Cisco Reddy.

Dear friend,

Normally we can devide stress into two categories. one is external and the second one is internal. It is obsorved that most of the stress comes from inside, that is created by our own.

Try to plane the things. Doesnt matter if they are done well or not. In ur case i think u r in habit of thiking more about problems rather thant solutions.

As you are a student, study should be your first priority. Career follows your tallent, and knowledge.

It happens with many people that the become uneasy even the small tings go wrong. Dear friend.remember.

Nothing that comes too easily is worth having, For anything worth having u must pay the prise, prise may be devotion, love or hard work.

Do not think too much, Have professional attitude even towards the problems. Cultivate the habit of taking the things positively, Be strong and rest of the world is yours

Great luck ahead

Hi,

I could know how much you suffer. If you seriously think not to be like that. When your mind keep pesting about this, ask this question allways to yourself " why am i wasting my time on thinking all the worries more than trying to slove them?" Then think of how to slove it. And try to slove it.

When you cannot sleep at night, Try to say some sloga or hear some good happy songs. Enjoy music. That's best relife.
i just forget anything for music.

I am saying this from my own experience, I do ask questions which i mentioned above and try to slove it. If you avoide it, it will come again to you.

I had so many sleepless night. I use to sing in my heart as " jaya jaya shankara, hara hara shankara".. There is a song which just repeat this sentense. I just sing and sleep peacefully. At that time i concentrate on that song. And also follow what Aum and Aradhana have said. Those are best. Pray god regularly, It will sure give you peace and will learn a lot in your life about all these. Try it and best wishes for your good future.

Do not take sleeping pills.It will never slove your problem.

I understand completely on where you are coming from and how you feel. It is annoying and unhealthy to lose sleep based on anxiety and stress - but trust me there are ways to ease worry just like the way you are feeling! I'm going to give you some suggestions that seriously work, and believe me you do not want to take sleeping pills or anti-stress tablets - I don't believe in putting anything into your body that would by any chance alter the way you think , feel etc. YOU want to be in control and I don't think that its the best idea for you too take that. I think that it would be healthy and benefical for you too ease this by the following techniques that I think would help.

If you are losing sleep and have trouble getting to sleep because your mind is pre-occupied by stupid thoughts you may want to consider how your phsycail environment is. aka your room. if you feel as if there are things in your room that remind you of things that worry and pester you then you should immeadieatly change your room!

Secondly, if I am feeling bombarded with worry I will vizualize myself in a tranquil place or think of someone or something that makes me feel at pure sease! trust me , you will eventually end up falling asleep!

On the other hand, if you feel stressed during the day - walking and exercise relieves a tremendous amount of tension! And another thing. If you are worried about these thoughts they are never going to go away untill they are addressed - so if you need to talk abou tthem to someone or reslove them with someone you can trust or to anyone for that matter then you should , because you will feel a whole lot better about yourself! By the way if you need to talk about anything I am here to help.

Good Luck!
Let me know if this works for you!

Answer 10

Wow kiddo, you have to destress here. Don't take life so seriously. Believe me this world will go on with or without you!

Get outside and get some exercise. It will counteract the stress. Get into a routine of doing something daily, and seriously stop taking everything so seriously. Life will work itself out and you needn't be such a perfectionist or worrier either.

Worry doesn't do a darned thing. It doesn't make something happen; it doesn't alter anything, and it just consumes your time--no amount of worrying will change the outcome of anything.

So take a deep breath...listen to some calming music or waterfall or something at bedtime...learn to meditate and stop your mind from racing. You have to learn coping skills or everything in your life will get out of control. Trust me...been there done that. It will manifest itself physically if you keep this up and yes it can and will ruin your health if you let it!
