Stress is all around us. We encounter it at work, in our families and in our social lives. You can not run and hide from it. You must learn to face it head on and deal with it productively so it does not cause adverse conditions in your body, mind and soul. Here are some tips to combat stress.

Recognize that stress is unavoidable. Identify what causes it and how you react to it. Use the extra energy that you would typically use for worrying and fighting it for your benefit. Channel the energy into a challenge or to help you meet a goal.. Find ways to relax, maybe a vacation or just an afternoon at the park.

Avoid stress talk. Many people like to constantly talk about their stress with friends and coworkers. This is not a good coping technique. It only causes more self talk and stress. This kind of self talk can be destructive. Avoid situations or conversations that may lead to doom and gloom talk.

This brings us to stress thoughts or mind garbage as I like to refer to it. We can put so much energy into the should a, could a, would a theory's. We can manipulate our minds to think things are worse then they are. Cut these thoughts off as soon as they start. They are usually unfounded thoughts anyways.

Everybody knows somebody that has had to deal with stress and they have pulled through it just fine. Learn from these people. Identify how they dealt with the stress. Let there techniques influence you positively. If they can do it you can. Many have even dealt with more.

Many people love the breathing technique. It is simple and is a great way to calm yourself when stress gets you anxious and excited. All you need to do is take lond steady deep breathes, inhaling and exhaling. Once you start to feel relaxed and calm you can breath normal.

Identify our stress triggers. Identify how we currently deal with them. find ways to improve the way we deal with them. We may need to try many techniques before finding one that works for us. Make note of this information and find positive de-stressors that work for us.

Last but not least, take care of yourself. Be sure to get plenty of sleep and rest. Eat healthy foods and get some exercise. Enjoy lives little pleasures, so often we ignore them. Stop to smell the roses. Be good to your body and yourself and your body will thank you for it!
