26 Tips For Managing Stress by Youngsage: 8:18am On Jun 13, 2013
Always take time for yourself, at least 30 minutes per day.

Be aware of your own stress meter: Know when to step back and cool down.

Concentrate on controlling your own situation, without controlling everybody else.

Daily exercise will burn off the stress chemicals.

Eat lots of fresh fruit, veggies, bread and water, give your body the best for it to perform at its best.

Forgive others, don't hold grudges and be tolerant -- not everyone is as capable as you.

Gain perspective on things, how important is the issue?

Hugs, kisses and laughter: Have fun and don't be afraid to share your feelings with others.

Identify stressors and plan to deal with them better next time.

Judge your own performance realistically; don't set goals out of your own reach.

Keep a positive attitude, your outlook will influence outcomes and the way others treat you.

Limit alcohol, drugs and other stimulants, they affect your perception and behaviour.

Manage money well, seek advice and save at least 10 per cent of what you earn.

No is a word you need to learn to use without feeling guilty.

Outdoor activities by yourself, or with friends and family, can be a great way to relax.

Play your favourite music rather than watching television.

Quit smoking: It is stressing your body daily, not to mention killing you too.

Relationships: Nurture and enjoy them, learn to listen more and talk less.

Sleep well, with a firm mattress and a supportive pillow; don't overheat yourself and allow plenty of ventilation.

Treat yourself once a week with a massage, dinner out, the movies: Moderation is the key.

Understand things from the other person's point of view.

Verify information from the source before exploding.

Worry less, it really does not get things completed better or quicker.

Xpress: Make a regular retreat to your favourite space, make holidays part of your yearly plan and budget.

Yearly goal setting: Plan what you want to achieve based on your priorities in your career, relationships, etc.

Zest for life: Each day is a gift, smile and be thankful that you are a part of the bigger picture.

Nothing wrong with the outlook IMO. The points are alphabetised and separted in paragraphs. The words are in clear understandable English. I don't know what else you want.

Man you just have to realize and understand how short life truly is and not stress over all this meaningless stuff

You have to do the Maths

You probably have only 70 gd years on this earth

59 of those are probably your only "healthy" years

If you check your age ATM...you probably are already a third that 59 or slightly over a third of that

That Means you only got about 2 quarters Left

So many people stress over such meaningless things. Not Realizing how short this Ride is

Life is a very short Ride Game.

Enjoy it

Never EVER Dwell on the past, even the good past......erase both from your memory

Live for the Present & The Future

How about trying to be proactive and avoid stressful situations or not allow stress to take over. Whatever it is, it's not important. Yea, I know, I keep telling myself that cheesy. Oh, and who's got the money to pay for all the wonderful destressors?
