Five tips to help manage stress
"Stress occurs when you perceive that demands placed on you — such as work, school or relationships — exceed your ability to cope. Some stress can be beneficial at times, producing a boost that provides the drive and energy to help people get through situations like exams or work deadlines. However, an extreme amount of stress can have health consequences, affecting the immune, cardiovascular and neuroendocrine and central nervous systems, and take a severe emotional toll.
Untreated chronic stress can result in serious health conditions including anxiety, insomnia, muscle pain, high blood pressure and a weakened immune system. Research shows that stress can contribute to the development of major illnesses, such as heart disease, depression and obesity.
But by finding positive, healthy ways to manage stress as it occurs, many of these negative health consequences can be reduced. Everyone is different, and so are the ways they choose to manage their stress. Some people prefer pursuing hobbies such as gardening, playing music and creating art, while others find relief in more solitary activities: meditation, yoga and walking.
Here are five healthy techniques that psychological research has shown to help reduce stress in the short- and long-term.
Take a break from the stressor. It may seem difficult to get away from a big work project, a crying baby or a growing credit card bill. But when you give yourself permission to step away from it, you let yourself have time to do something else, which can help you have a new perspective or practice techniques to feel less overwhelmed. It’s important to not avoid your stress (those bills have to be paid sometime), but even just 20-minutes to take care of yourself is helpful.
Exercise. The research keeps growing — exercise benefits your mind just as well as your body. We keep hearing about the long-term benefits of a regular exercise routine. But even a 20-minute walk, run, swim or dance session in the midst of a stressful time can give an immediate effect that can last for several hours.
Smile and laugh. Our brains are interconnected with our emotions and facial expressions. When people are stressed, they often hold a lot of the stress in their face. So laughs or smiles can help relieve some of that tension and improve the situation.
Get social support. Call a friend, send an email. When you share your concerns or feelings with another person, it does help relieve stress. But it’s important that the person whom you talk to is someone whom you trust and whom you feel can understand and validate you. If your family is a stressor, for example, it may not alleviate your stress if you share your works woes with one of them.
Meditate. Meditation and mindful prayer help the mind and body to relax and focus. Mindfulness can help people see new perspectives, develop self-compassion and forgiveness. When practicing a form of mindfulness, people can release emotions that may have been causing the body physical stress. Much like exercise, research has shown that even meditating briefly can reap immediate benefits."

We should learn to let go when things are not going quite well. We should learn to live in the present and let bygones be bygones. In this way, we can conquer the anxiety of life. In the long run, nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing our health , and nothing is worth driving us into stress, and anxiety.
Stress is inevitable for all functional humans and a certain low level of stress is beneficial in motivating us for our ongoing self-assessment of our goals, prioritize those goals and have motivation to pursue those goals. Stress is also inevitable because humans constantly view themselves through the “looking glass” of the society around us. In other words, unless in private sphere, we keep thinking what is others’ assessment of u. Medically, regular excercise helps us release harmones helpful in stress management. Social measures recommended by many colleagues already in the discussion string should be used to supplement BUT not replace physical activity as a measure to manage stress.

thank u for practical suggestions
I walk barefoot on the natural earth and hugh a tree, and sometimes I dancing without shoes while I listen to music.
dear @ María De los Ángeles Vivar-Vera, how enjoyable you try to cope with stress
Thank you Farangis Shahidzade. I think the nature, dance, music and prayer are great anti-stress.
1. Why wait until we have stress? How to avoid stress?
2. My understanding is that in order to be happy in whatever we do ; we have to put the others first. Serving others is a worship ; similar to prayer.
3. The second objective is to keep learning to serve the others better.
4 Similar to flows in nature; there are flows of charity between human beings. Therefore; serving orhers is exactly Charity and the reward from God is true happiness and peace.
5 .Please try it and discover it by yourself.
6. If you don't believe in God; you can call it law of the universe.
Self Stress Management via:
1. 'Outer Voice' through 'Intuition'
2. Self Reflection
3. Inculcate a passage of 'Spiritual' ideology in 'Materialism'
4. Reinforce future goals in basic duties
5. 'Donate' or 'Destroy' unwanted things with individual & take self protection
It is easy to say but very difficult to apply on oneself though the music, dance, travel, meditation, self-satisfaction with what you have and no more unnecessary dreams are the better medicine.
Believe in yourself
Good organization and time management
Physical activity - some kind of sport
Eliminate envy and evil person from your surrounding or change surrounding
1. Listen music;
2. Meditation;
3. Sleep and eat whenever you need!
4. Be positive and show empathy!
5. Try to make harmony with yourself!
dear @ J. M. Koli, @ Aleksandar Dejanović,@ Jelena Lukić, @ Iswar Mani Adhikari, Zin Eddine Dadach

Playing, listening music, exercising, reading, chatting, and many more ways are used by different people.
The primary reason for stress is that we take the responsibility of everything that is happening around us, as if we have created it or are involved in it! If we leave every event as the wish of God, do not take the credit or discredit of anything, we will be relieved of almost all stress. This needs a belief in God and his powers! It also relieves us of sadness and anxiety because anyway we are puppets and nothing can be really done by us, unless HE WILLS!
Meditation is the unparalleled weapon to fight against any kind of stress, anxiety, and tension.

It is our mind which disturbs our feelings ,our sentiments which may become a part of our thinking passage which transforms our mind in anxiety keeping us in a stress move . It is in this line some times back I have my publication under the captioned'' Stress - Our Negative element '' which I submit herewith for your perusal .

Don't try to manage stress, you have to remove the causes of stress.
dear Rohit Manilal Parikh, your views were really practical solutions of reducing stress. thank u
Take time out to visit friends and family members.
Take time to rest - a nap.
it is also a good practice to make a priority list everyday in the morning and decide what can be accomplished and what cannot. in that way the stress of not completing a task will be reduced to some extent.
Plan your daily schedule.
Put them on a scale of preference.
Let them be in the order of most important to least important tasks on a daily basis.
Why to worry? Leave all your worries on the Almighty SWT and pray. :)
Insha''Allah everything will fall in place slowly and steadily.
To reduce stress dramatically, you can go on a vacation.
When I am stressed, I prefer to offer Salaah (2 Nafl rakats) or I either go on a holiday and munch on tasty delicious food. It helps! Honestly. :)
