How to Deal With Stress
By:Vandana Makharia

First of all, anything you'll read now or in any stress advice related article - your first thought would be 'Huh, easier said then done... ' Just understand that if you have taken the pain to search this topic online, you might actually go on and try implementing a few things in these articles. Not all but some steps are surely going to make a difference.

The only suggestions I can make are from my daily life, what I find helpful while dealing with stress.

1. Make yourself understand (repeat in head continuously) that stress is something that will come along all the time in life. In job, at home, in love... everywhere. The idea is to not shatter every time something is taking a toll on you but learn to continue living while dealing with it. It's not a big deal really; each and every living individual has their own set of stress makers. Try finding one who is totally devoid of it.

2. Every time you feel stressed, get into action. Move around a little, stretch, go for a jog, take deep breathes, take up a sport.

3. Call a friend or close one - reminiscence the good times, gossip a little. It's amazing how a good chat can refresh you.

4. Get a dog, play with it. Play with a friend's dog if you don't have one.

5. Watch a light hearted good movie (or television), something that tickles your funny bone.

6. Find your thing - by this I mean do that thing which always has pepped you up or made you feel peaceful inside. Like listening to classical music or dancing or writing a poem or may just communing with nature.

7. The most important thing is not to keep delaying the act / situation which is causing you all the stress. Just face it as soon as possible. You'll save a lot of mind and peace by not delaying.

Remember, Stress is inevitable... it's how we respond to it is what changes the entire equation.
