How can I stop stressing and enjoy life more?

sit down in a quiet place and think about some things that make you happy, and some things that make you stressed out. pick one (or more) of the happy things, and try to do it/see it/listen to it/feel it more often. when you are experiencing whatever it is, really let yourself enjoy it.\n\nthen, think of one of the things that makes you stressed out. think about the way you like it (perfect) and what will happen if it's not perfect. next time you see it not being perfect, take a minute to relax and see if it's really as bad as you think before you change it. this is something you can teach yourself to do. \n\nwith both, start slow and do one at a time- you're not going to change everything overnight.

Stress is tension or pressures that are a natural part of living our lives.  Changes and events in our lives (getting married, illness, changing jobs) are a major source of stress.  Pressures and tension from both good and bad changes can trigger our Stress Alarm System making us feel that we want to either fight the stress or run away from it.  \n\nPreventing Stress:\nEating Right Helps:  Foods high in preotein, Vitamin C, B vitamins and Vitamin A protect us from the effects of stress.  These are found in whole grain products, fruits and veggies, expecially citrus fruits, dark green veggies, meat and dairy products.  Caffeine, refined sugars, starches and junk food create false energy and stress the body even more.\nManage Time Better:  Take five minutes at the beginning of each day and make a "things to do" list.  Converty this list into a priority list of primary tasks, secondary tasks and miscellaneous tasks.  Do Primary tasks first and continue until the list is completed.  Don't over schedule - leave time for unexpected events.  Reward yourself for a job well done.\nExercise your tension away:  You feel healthier and less stressed when you develop an exercise plan that meets your life style, needs and ability.  Yoga and stretching exercises are good for developing flexibility and relaxation.  \nIn a nut shell:  everyone will get stressed.. but how to manage your stress and keep it from occuring as often just takes a few little changes throughout your day to make it much easier to get through the bad parts!

Prioritize what really matters to you and pull back from the things that are low on that list (like things you might do because of someone else and not really for yourself).  For me that most important commodity is TIME, so I choose to spend it with my loved ones, rather than stressing about housework and what society thinks I could or should be doing.  \n\nDon't get wrapped up in other people's lives and drama -- learn how to stay detached.  You can love someone and still not try to take on all their issues for them.  In fact, it's usually better if they solve their problems themselves, and have a good friend that they can vent to when the going gets tough, or who can offer impartial advice when needed.

I believe stress is the source of 75 percent of all our problems and a major epidemic in people's lives. Finding ways to control stress is vital, because if you don't control stress, it will control you.\n\nIf you want to reduce your stress level and live a happier and healthier life, use the physical and emotional stress relief techniques outlined below. \n\nPhysical Relief \n - Say No\nThe pressure to perform in today's world is intense. As a result, people work long hours and take on much more than they can bear. They juggle multiple roles throughout the day and sacrifice sleep or personal time just so they can get everything done. Saying "no" to a demand is out of the question, resulting in increased stress, both at work and at home. \n\n - Listen to Your Body \nListening to your body helps you take control of your stress because you become aware of the signals your body gives you regarding comfort and discomfort.\n\n- Communicate With Your Heart\nYour heart has an important job, pumping 2,000 gallons of blood throughout your body each day. This merits the heart receiving your attention. To reduce emotional stress your heart needs encouragement, appreciation, and love.\n\n- Clear Out the Past Clutter\nJust as you do a spring cleaning of your house, you should also do a spring cleaning of your heart to wipe away the old memories and messages that are causing you stress. This is important, because the way we fell from moment to moment, the way we behave, and the actions we take are all conditioned to how we feel inside.

the best stress relief is sex, but there are also other things you can do like journaling, or drawing/painting, taking a nice hot bath, listening to some relaxing music, taking a nice long nap, reading, going for a walk, it just depends on what make you happy.  I usually just watch a good, funny movie and take a bath and go to bed early. Just having a good, long, convo with your best friend can make you feel better.

dont stress over things. fix things that you can fix, or if you can fix it let it slide off your back.

Have you tried just honestly making an effort to stop yourself, everytime you start to stress about something someone else does?  Try to fill your mind with other more important things.... get a hobby even...you need something else to focus on.  And remind yourself that other peoples' business doesn't concern you or affect you!  Just doing something constructive and/or relaxing may help you alot!

Take a bath.  Get a massage.  Spend one hour of every day with no phone, no computer and nothing expected of you, and in that hour just relax, pray, and think about things that make you happy.  And eliminate extra stressors from your life, they will only drag you down.

i often struggle with being nervous myself.  when i find myself feeling overwhelmed i pull back and evaluate what is going on in my life.  is what i am really stressing over worth it?  \nif  you find your life being controlled by stress try talking to your doctor.  there could be a biological reason for your stress.

Take a moment to pamper myself once in awhile. Relieve stress by meditation, yoga, or just kickin' it and watching something on the tube. Music makes me dance, dance makes me feel good about my body. Taking a long walk and breathing the fresh air and wathcing things around me makes me appreciate the fact that I am here, and in the body I am in.
