Stress is something you encounter each and everyday. You cannot shy away from it. You will have to deal with it. But how you deal with is important. Here are some pointers to manage it in a successful way.
1) Take a Deep Breath : Take a couple of deep breaths. This distracts you from the problem for a short while breaking the continued stress on your body. This break from the cycle helps you to look at the problem afresh, staring off at a point you might have missed.
2) Write it Down : This helps you to look at the problem in a different format, and most of the time you will see that the solution is right there in front of you. You only needed a different perspective.
3) Talk with the Right person : If you talk with the "right" person, that person would give a different perspective. Even if you can't find someone, talking it out loud (yeah,might sound crazy) will help you to get an auditory perspective of the problem.
4) Have a bath : It sort of takes away the physical stress by dropping the temperature, and relaxing you.
5) Exercise : The thumping heart, the ache in the muscles, and the sweat poring down your ears will take the problem away for a bit. Then when you do come across it again, you will have a head full of oxygen to think it through.
6) Take a walk : It detaches you from the stressful setting on the stressor person, so that the change of environment will help you regain the composure and think things through.
7) Read a Book : If you are into reading, then read at least a short biography of a successful person once a week. This has been attributed as one of the successful features in the home education, the internet entrepreneur Emerson Spartz got.
8) Listen to music : It will be an auditory distraction for the person, and can slow the hyperactivity of the brain down. It doesn't have to be Mozart or Chaupin all the time, some would prefer Lynrd Skynrd, and some prefer ACDC.
9) Eat a Healthy diet : This pushes the nutrition in the system, that would otherwise reject food in the stressful, cortisol rich environment. Preferring the flight or fight stance, the body will reject the extra work of churning the food. But if you don't eat then the body won't be able to sustain itself.
10) Sleep Right : Sleep will release growth hormone, GH, important in maintaining general well being and immunity. It won't be good if you start feeling sick or falling ill. Also sleep helps to synthesize neurotransmitters in the brain.
11)Avoid alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, sugar, drugs, etc.: These can adversely stimulate the brain and harm the general health of the person. Though it might provide a temporary anxiety reduction, it won't help to square away the problem in the long run.
