Great information. I’ve always had problem with 30 and 5. Hopefully I can relieve some of the stress.
i learn something from a stress management seminar that you can actually relieve your stress buy just taking care of your plants. sitting under the tree or watching fishes in an aquarium or go to beach….
I agree with you stress can be extremelly bad for your health. I will try out some of your tips and see how they work.
I try to laugh more often, but it’s difficult when you’re vomiting.
Seriously though, the best stress eleviating trick I tried was quitting my job and doing something I enjoyed instead. Sure, I’m broke, but I’m happy.
Thanks for the valuable information. But I would like to add that the most important way to combat stress is by living in present. If we stop thinking about our past and future and enjoy what we have today, I’m sure our life would be much much more stress free.
I always try to medidate during stress to relax both mind and body. There are a lof of Internet courses that will help you to medidate.
Hopefully this information can help me with my fatigue, thanks a lot!
