Being 'stressed' often means being 'overwhelmed' by having too much to do.  If this sounds like you, I have a few suggestions.\n\n1) Say NO to people who ask you to do things - right now you need fewer things 'on your plate'.\n\n2) Take care of things 'the first time' they come up.  A simple example is 'checking your mail'.  When we get over-loaded, we tend to 'pile some here' and 'pile some there'  thinking we will be 'taking care of later'.  In effect, we have to handle and process the darn mail several times (that's a lot more work and a lot more stress).  So, with mail, take care of it NOW - all of it.  Then it is done and behind you.  This technique applies, obviously, to lots of other daily 'tasks' besides the mail.\n\n3) Prioritize.  This will take 5 minutes each morning or before bedtime for the next day.  List the top 5-7 things you need to do today, with the most important thing first.  Then do them in order and check them off your list as you go.  DO NOT exceed 7 things (and 4-5 may be more realistic when you are really stressed - so say NO to less important stuff for now).\n\nHope this is helpful.  Best wishes and good luck.

You can basically talk yourself out of it.\n\nSeventy-five percent of all our problems - both emotional and physical problems - come from the same source. If you could identify that source, you could probably eliminate it. \n\nUnfortunately, few people are able to identify the core of their problems. And those who do typically don't know the steps to take to alleviate their challenges. \n\nSo what is the course of most of our problems? It is stress. That's right; 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 overcome stress and worry, try the following:\n1. Say No\n2. Listen to you Body\n3. Communicate with your heart\n4. Clear out past clutter\n\nTo stop stress, I do the following:\n1. Walk away from it! :)\n2. Clean the house.\n3. Go fishing.\n4. Concentrate on something meaningless.\n5. Play sports!\n6. Write on blogs.\n7. Read this book... Don't Sweat the Small Stuff!\n\nRecommended reading: http://stress.50webs.com

Get help from a trusted friend or a Life Coach. I'm a Life Coach and I help clients make sense of their overly expressive emotions and explore ways of creating a more calm self.  You're missing some part of what's really going on with you.  Try slowing down.  Yoga was suggested and this could be helpful to you.  Meditation is good too. People use a variety of things to help maintain a high level of awareness and positive ways to connect with yourself.  Check out the book, "Wherever You Go, There You Are".  Learn breathing and relaxation techniques.  Even simple changes like having a balanced diet, making sure you're getting proper exercise and sufficient sleep while maintaining a low-stress lifestyle can be priceless in helping you cope with your day to day life.  Maybe you need some changes.  Our lives have a way of speaking to us and retaliating if we aren't quite happy with ourselves.

I suggest that medication might help.  Otherwise, you need to avoid the situations that cause you the most stress, if possible.  You can also find some sort of outlet like running, excercises, sports...something to let your frustrations out.  Hope it helps.

Stress is bad because it not only effects your emotional health, but your physical health as well. unchecked stress can lead to depression. It can also lead to high blood pressure, strokes, heart problems,ect. While it is impossible to completly eliminate stress altogether, there are ways to alleviate it. Prayer and meditation are great ways to manage stress. It's also helpful to talk things out with a close friend. Take walks in nature, exercize, do a hobby you enjoy, take a long hot bubble bath and listen to soothing music. Take deep breaths. There are lots of things you can do, but the most important thing to remember is this.... God grant me the courage to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference.   Godspeed and prayers

We're all placed in stressful situations sometimes that are difficult to cope with. My best advice to you is to look at the positive side of things. The fact that you have a job and an income is a good thing. The fact that you are using a computer to access the Internet is a great privilege (believe me it's a privilege). The fact that you were raised in this great nation is an opportunity. You sound young and you entire life is ahead of you. This is only a chapter in your life. A chapter is bound to end when another begins. Have patience and faith in yourself and in your ability to change your perception of your situation. Thank God for the moments that you have. Remember, this is life, not a dress rehearsal. Make everyday count. And finally, I have personally found that I feel a lot better when I stop focusing on my own problems and try to offer help to someone else. We get so focused on self sometimes that we forget that there are people out there who are in a much worst situation than us. Try to lend a helping hand to someone, and you will see how blessed you will become.

Change yourself. \n\nI know it's hard, but believe me.. they are not causing the stress, you are.\n\nIt may seem like external factors are creating stress inside of you but only through the understanding that you truly create your own stress can you hope to master it. Simply change your internal reaction to external stimuli... but I know that it's much harder than it sounds... I have been trying for many years and am only getting calmer, so I think it's working.

Hobbies are wonderful.  Meditation, pets, music, hitting a pillow, a glass of wine, reading, games, getting massage regularly, giving massage to a significant other, sex, laughing (preferaably not at the same time), entertainment like movies or TV, etc.  Pick something you like and do it.  The biggest thing I have seen that helps...just staying active mentally and physically.  FI you feel good you will look good and be your body and mind will not get as stressed and not hold as much stress.  Hope it helps.

That is actually a nervous habit, I used to do that as well.  The best thing I'd do is find out what's stressing you out so bad.

There are a lot of ways to deal with stress, and the best one for you depends on your personality and also where the stress is coming from.  Exercise is often a good way to deal with stress- not only does it allow you to "work off" your frustration, it also produces endorphins, chemicals in your body which make you feel happier and more energized.  Listening to music is also a good way to de-stress, although heavy music with screaming lyrics usually doesn't work too well.  Taking some time to do an activity that you enjoy can reduce stress as well.  \nThere are also ways to prevent over-stressing yourself.  If you eat right and get enough sleep every night, your mind and body will be better equipped to deal with life, and you'll find that stress doesn't creep up on you quite as often.

Each of the answers you received have some helpful advice.  One thing that helps  is realizing that, if you are doing the  best you can with the resources you have, no one can ask for more.\n\nIt is important that you also look at what is producing stress outside of work.   How are you dealing with it?   Maybe you could profit from some professional counseling to help sort out what can be resolved and what cannot.  \n\nSelf care is extremely important in time of stress.  Keep you fluids level all day long as well as eating properly.  Get rest and exercise.  Sometimes hitting a body bag will help destress you.  (If you don't have a body bag, working out dancing or walking or jogging or doing housework, etc., will turn on the endorphins in your brain and help you destress.\n\nDebriefing with a trusted friend is another out.\n\nPrayer and meditation helps put everything in perspective.\n\nMy Italian grandmother had a tried and true receipe for sorting out things to stress about and things to let go.  She always asked this question: "What will it matter a hundred years from now?"    For her, family mattered and would continue to matter 100 years from now.  Now all you have to do is use it as a criteria of whether or now whatever you are stressing about will still matter 100 years from now.
