How to manage Stress

If we think about the causes of stress, the nature of the stress response, and the negative effects of some types of stress, several healthy management strategies become clear. First, exercise. You see, since the stress response prepares us to fight or flee, our bodies are primed for action. Unfortunately, however, we usually handle our stresses while sitting at our desk, standing at the water cooler, or behind the wheel stuck in traffic. Exercise on a regular basis helps to burn off and use up the stress hormones and neurochemicals. Thus, exercise can help avoid the damage to our health that prolonged stress can cause. In fact, studies have found that exercise is a potent anti-depressant, anxiolytic (combats anxiety), and sleeping pill for many people, without taking any pills.

To handle stress we need to know what beats it. Here are the most effective tried and tested strategies:

• Meditation
• Improve sleep routine
• Healthy diet
• Aerobic exercise
• Emotional outlet
• Positive imagery 
• Breathing exercises

Meditation is the best way to release stress 

Elimination or reduction of drug use are the key of the successful stress management. We know that people, when stressed, seek these outlets. But, we also know that many of these substances sensitize (make even more responsive) the stress response. As a result, small problems produce big surges of stress chemicals. What's more, these attempts with drugs and alcohol to mask stress often prevent the person from facing the problem directly. Consequently, they are not able to develop effective ways to cope with or eliminate the stress.
