The best way of reducing stress
There are different ways of coping and reducing stress. These vary
for different people in terms of personality, lifestyle, age, gender
and other similar factors. But in my own experience, I have some
simple ways of reducing stress.
Every time stress hits me, I always make sure that I get enough
sleep. This can really help as our body needs rest for it to function
more effectively. Stress can cause us to be physically weak, thus we
need to revitalize our physical strength. I also do some exercises to
be physically and mentally active. Doing cardiovascular exercises
like walking or jogging give me time to think about things and focus
clearly on them.
I also engage myself in activities which I really enjoy doing such as
watching my favorite programs on television; reading a feel-good
book; and cooking a specific recipe.
Another effective way of reducing stress which I frequently do is to
talk with my family or friends about just anything. Having a chat
with somebody who is close to me simply unloads my burden. I get
the chance to pour things out and express my sentiments. The mere
thought of having someone who listens to my stories is like a
heaven`s gift.
These things help me reduced stress but I think the most effective
way is having a good attitude. I know how to manage my time and
physical effort. This way I do not dwell too much on unnecessary
things which could only result to stress. I do not allow negative
things to affect me especially at school or at work. If somebody tells
me that I have a lousy job, I try not to get angry. But I will look into
my work and examine where my flaws are and correct them.
Getting criticisms from people should not be taken as a negative
thing. These should serve as constructive comments so that we
could improve our skills and become better people.

To sum up, I think the level of stress a person can get greatly depends
on how he or she deals with everyday life. The keyword is good
attitude.
