Posted by Nick Niesen on October 26th, 2010

The demands of everyday life cause much stress. The work responsibilities alone would make anyone look older than they really are. When you are stressed, your body reacts in a negatice way. You may feel abnormally tired, have headaches and even lose weight. To help you manage your stress better, here are some helpful tips.

Find Some Alone Time

You should make sure that you find time to recover from stress by spending some quality time with yourself. You can go to a spa and enjoy a relaxing massage.

If you do not wish to go out and face the horrible traffic, you can stay at home and read a book or listen to music. Sometimes, something as simple as a bubble bath could relieve much of the stresses of the day. Inform of your family and friends of your alone time so that there will be no distractions from relaxing.

Exercise

Physical activities can help you remove stress in your life. It is believed that endorphins or the ?happy hormone? is triggered by exercising. When you exercise, even for 15 minutes a day, you effectively relax your muscles, which become tight when you are feeling stressed out. An added bonus is you would also look great after continuous exercising, making you feel extra confident.

Sleep

A person who lacks sleep will be unable to fight off stress. In fact, you will be more susceptible to stress if you are constantly losing sleep. An adult person must sleep 6-8 hours a day to fight off stress. If you fail to complete your sleep, your immune system would probably break down causing you to be sick. You would not want to be stressed out and sick at the same time.

Counseling

If you think that you need more expert help, you can seek out psychotherapy. Some stress is caused by reasons such as work pressures or family issues. Most people become stressed with their finances as well. Your psychiatrist will help you manage stress by finding out the exact reasons for your stress.

Hypnotherapy

Relatively new, hypnotherapy is increasingly becoming a popular way to manage and control psychological troubles like stress. A qualified person would hypnotize you and make suggestions to your subconscious. This treatment is considerably cheaper compared to psychotherapy. A typical hypnotherapy session would probably last for three hours and depending on your response, you would need about one to five sessions before you can see positive results.
