I'm under a lot of stress. whats a way to help me be less stressed out???

??? help !!!!

easy 10 points :)

1. Take a relaxing bath
2. Have a snack indulgence such as chocolate or ice cream
3. Take a nap!
4.Go to the bookstore and read
5. Go to the library
6. Go to a coffeeshop and have some coffee or sweet tea
7.Write in a journal
8. Ask a question on Yahoo Answers
9.Listen to some soothing music
10. PRAY

Have a cry, read a nice short book, like a Readers Digest, they are filled with distracting little stories to take your mind off things, and spend some, um, "time" with yourself before you go to sleep. That's always good for stress (and headaches!).

And, as my comrade in arms there said - chocolate is always good - unless you're stressed because you need to lose weight, in which case buy a bar of chocolate and give it to a homeless person - then you can feel good about having done something nice instead :)

As crazy as this might sound, grab a hershey bar!
chocolate has an ingrediant in it that releases a chemical
in your brain that makes you happy !

another thing is just sit back & listen to your favorite song, band or music..that always helps me.

And if that doesnt work, take it easy. When you try to grab life by the horns all at once it will really feel overwhelming & get you so stressed out. try taking things day by day , one by one. and it should relax your mind =)

My ninth grade Math teacher taught us how to relieve stress. Whenever you are feeling particularly stressful (though in your case, you seem to be in quite a lot of strain at the moment, so I say you should start after you read my answer), try clapping your hands as if you were applauding. Just keep applauding, until you feel like you are releasing any strain. Have you notice how babies seem very happy and cheerful whenever they are clapping? That is because they are releasing stress! Another way to release stress would be to pretend to shake hands with another person, say "Hi!" and then throw your head back and laugh. I know it seems strange, but you can do that when you alone in the house. If you experience any further stress, you can do a bit of research and look for a "Laughter Club". These clubs are designed for those who are in constant stress, and their goal is to keep these people positive and as stress free as possible.

Good luck =]

it depends on what kind of stress....um....sorta like if you have stress from a relationship and stress from homework they probably wont have the same solution. i say take a hot shower, sit down, and close your eyes, take a deepbreath, and put on a face pad thing and relax.

1- Talk things over with friends, family, pastor, counselor
2- Exercise: walk, tae, weights, ride a bike.
3- Take your problems and break them down into small blocks.
or imagine that they are like papers and you have a file for
each problem.
4- Try some websites: www.success.bz

I actually just wrote about ways to reduce stress - here are some tips that work for me that may require looking at stress differently -

journal it out before a warm bubble bath. have a nice snack and maybe just watch a movie or a show that can make you laugh and just forget about everything for that night. maybe just listen to music in a calm atmosphere.

You should take a really long shower and imagine that the water is washing away all the stress and negativity. probably sounds kinda silly but it works for me anyway!

listen to the song "no stress" which i believe is by laurent wolf, it will make you feel better just hang in there !!

take a bubble bath, light 2 or three candles, then get a good book or magazine, or turn on some calm music and just relax!

see if you can find a massage school in your area.. there is one near me in NC and its $25, and its great..
