Doesn't matter how much you
avoid it, as an adult you'll experience stress at a point in your life.
At times you'll feel there's so much to do with so little time.
According to relationship and health experts, stress is avoidable and the only person causing you stress is you.
Author and host Charles J. Orlando, author John Gray, life coach and speaker Cara Cordoni, licensed psychotherapist and bioenergetic analyst Leah Benson and counselor and therapist Atul Kumar Mehra writing for YourTango lists two effective and easy ways to de-stress and relax:
- Have An Adult Tantrum (Yes, Really): It sounds funny, but tantrums aren't just for toddlers. Sometimes you have so much pent up negative energy and overwhelming emotion that you simply need to let it out. It's OK to release that bad energy, even if you are an adult. Not convinced? According to Cara Cordoni, you can combat the negative effects of stress on your mind and body with exercise. "We know that the stress hormones, like cortisol, that when you're physically active, you process them," she says, "If you're just sitting around and stewing in your head and having that stress response, you're prolonging it."
- Don't Accept Every Task: The need to say yes to everything is common. If you accept it all, you're definitely taking on too much responsibility. However, if you feel like you can't directly say no, find a nice way to decline. People will be more understanding and less hurt if you don't say no right away, and you'll feel less guilty about not being able to help.
