How do you get ride of stress?

Answer 1

stress sucks dude.. the best stress reliever i can recommend is exercise.. it takes your focus off what's bothering you and hey it's just good in general.. exercise also releases serotonin, dopamine and a few other nuerotransmitters in your brain.. serotonin helps you sleep and dopamine is related to pleasure and happiness.. it also releases endorphins which are the bodies natural pain killers and are associated with "runner's high".. and it's been shown in clinical studies to quickly and effectively treat anxiety and depression..

other than exercise you could try deep breathing, muscle relaxation techniques, meditation, listening to music, or talking to a friend about it.. and if you feel it's bad enough then maybe talk therapy could help..

hope this helps and i hope ya get rid of some of that stress soon!

Answer 2

Take a breather..Run a mile, watch a comedy movie like the 40 yr. old virgin and the like, take a long ride, change scenery for awhile. If all these you can't do just look at a tree or any green coloured things because it soothes your eyes which helps relaxes your tensions or look at an aquarium with school of fish swimming and bumping at each other their colours and the dreamy effect of water helps drowning the stress away.

Stress tip.

Exercise Regularly. Start engaging in regular physical exercise 3-5X/week for 30 minutes, like jogging, walking, swimming, biking, dancing, aerobics, etc. Exercise releases mood-enhancing chemicals, like endorphins, the mind-body's natural painkiller and mood calmer. Briskly walking 2-3 miles allows us to experience a tangible sense of accomplishment and control. When everything is up in the air, exercise helps us feel grounded. Even better if you can find an exercise buddy.

Find a Hobby. Hobbies can be active or reflective; sometimes they can be both, like gardening. Hobbies may be shared, but often it's enjoyable activity pursued or engaged in solitude. Hiking in forests and mountains work wonders for me. Helps me get perspective, step back from my troubles, see a bigger picture, be at one with nature. Also, try your hand at creative writing, poetry or keeping a journal. Research shows writing that analyzes our problems and expresses our emotions is stress relieving. If you can't discover a hobby, I'd take that as a warning sign. You may actually be depressed. Loss of interest in things we once enjoyed, or loss of vitality in general, is a common symptom.

Watch a sitcom or a comedy movie.When you laugh, you actually cause a pleasurable change in your body’s chemistry that lasts as long as 45 minutes. So take in a comedy at the movies, watch a funny television show, or invite friends over for a game of charades.

Listen to music. Music’s calming effect has been proved during dental procedures, during labor, before and after surgery, and in emergency rooms. This effect is probably due to music’s ability to distract and soothe.

Have a balanced diet. A healthy diet containing B vitamins and magnesium helps to relieve chronic tension. B vitamins are essential for stress management. Magnesium helps to ease muscle tension, stress and anxiety. When exercising to reduce stress, a balance of carbohydrates and protein is necessary.

Have adequate sleep. Sleep is the number one defense against stress. It allows the mind and body to rejuvenate. When we awaken refreshed, we are more able to handle stressful situations. For the average person, adequate sleep is eight to ten hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Share your feelings. Talking to a friend or loved one after having a stressful day is one of the great ways to relieve stress. You don’t have to go it alone.

Answer 5

Go join a pilates or yoga class and totally forget everything for that one hour. After a while you'll just start concentrating on the moves and the breathing and at the end you'll wonder why you didn't do this stuff before! Actually, if you can get "lost" in any activity for an extended amount of time, that also helps ease stress. It's just simpler with yoga or pilates because the instructor usually tells you how to breath and counts for you and there's kind of soothing music in the background.

I know when I'm at work shuffling papers and I'm listening to my MP3 player, for like 20 minutes I can work, zone out, concentrate ONLY on the task at hand and feel good. It's really like meditation. But yoga also helps me with my back and legs. :)

Peace

Answer 6

Physical activity is the best way to get rid of stress. The more physical the better because it gets oxygyn to the brain and releases the tension in your body and gets you off your *** thinking about all the stressful stuff in life!
