The best way of reducing stress There are different ways of coping and reducing stress These vary for different people in terms of personality, lifestyle, age, gender and other similar factors But in my own experience, I have some simple ways of reducing stress Every time stress hits me, I always make sure that I get enough sleep This can really help as our body needs rest for it to function more effectively Stress can cause us to be physically weak, thus we need to revitalize our physical strength I also some exercises to be physically and mentally active Doing cardiovascular exercises like walking or jogging give me time to think about things and focus clearly on them I also engage myself in activities which I really enjoy doing such as watching my favorite programs on television; reading a feel-good book; and cooking a specific recipe Another effective way of reducing stress which I frequently is to talk with my family or friends about just anything Having a chat with somebody who is close to me simply unloads my burden I get the chance to pour things out and express my sentiments The mere thought of having someone who listens to my stories is like a heaven`s gift These things help me reduced stress but I think the most effective way is having a good attitude I know how to manage my time and physical effort This way I not dwell too much on unnecessary things which could only result to stress I not allow negative things to affect me especially at school or at work If somebody tells me that I have a lousy job, I try not to get angry But I will look into my work and examine where my flaws are and correct them Getting criticisms from people should not be taken as a negative thing These should serve as constructive comments so that we could improve our skills and become better people To sum up, I think the level of stress a person can get greatly depends on how he or she deals with everyday life The keyword is good attitude
