And yes, we can state that stress is totally unavoidable part in human life regardless of age, genders, professions and stress can also caused by our family, relationship problem, finances, friends and also workplace.

There is no doubt when i mention here that stress is indeed manageable with patience by using several strategies which i will mention later. 

There are several simple ways for us to relieve stress. I lists down all the possible and optional methods or strategies for you to handle stress as follows :

Plan for A Holiday 

This is what you actually can do to reduce your stress. Some of us might feel stressful for being stuck with daily work routine that we all know which might never end. Workplace is indeed stressful place ever. With daily paperwork, demand bosses and the hectic environment due to many assignments deadlines can give you the unbearable stress level. So, why don't you take leave and spend your time to go for a holiday or vacation with your family or best friends. And just leave your thought about paperwork and workplace behind, because thinking about it might stress you even more. So, you may plan or go for a holiday and release your stress by enjoying sunset at the beach or mountains view are also considerable depends on your mood. 

Exercise 

This is the part that i love the most. Exercise here does not mean that you need to do powerlifting or need to go to the gym for having a benchpress but the need for you to stretch your muscles out. Well, i can mention here that even just sitting in the office can be even stressful for myself so why don't you do simple exercise to stretch your muscles and free your mind from those paperwork you have. Simple exercise like push-up is the best one or else, you also can just walk around your office area and not just stay at your room or cubicle as you need space, adequate spacious space for you to settle down your mind. 

Listen to Music 

You also can reduce your stress by listening to your favourite music and this way has been practised by many people out there in order for them to deal with their stress. Doesn't matter whether the songs you prefer is rock, pop, hip-hop or ballad, as long it is your favourite one and you love to listen to them as you can leave all your problem behind and be stress-free, it is best for you to practise indeed. 

Get Enough Rest and Sleep 

This part is actually a circular part and it is best and better for you to fully understand the facts. Most people cannot be denied that they cannot sleep well due to stress, but don't forget that if you did not get enough rest or sleep, it will also lead to stress. So, it is kind of circular issue that essentials to be understood by everyone. So, what i can suggests you is, you must rest accordingly and put gap between your work and rest. And for sleep, you should sleep healthily. "Healthily" here means that you must sleep for 7 - 8 hours a day like what been recommended by doctors. And if you get too much sleep, you will become more lazy and even more stressful for not being active and less energetic throughout your day.

Do Not Take Things Too Seriously
Well, getting what you really want in life can be really stressful indeed. But, we also cannot simply not focus and not being serious in putting efforts to your heart desire as well. It is kind of circular issue here. So, i suggests you to moderately think about your desire, and not to put too much hope in it and just move forward without thinking so much about one particular thing or more. And just believe in one thing, being hardworking with good efforts will definitely brings you success in future. So, do not fret for being a looser or left behind because comparing yourself with other people can make you feel stress even more. Just feel neutral about it and turn your head-on for yourself.

Breathe Easy 

The most simple one i guess. Well, when your mind agitated, and you do not have the idea of what you should do and where you must go in order for you to escape from the tense environment, just sit and calm yourself down first. Get your body and mind feels relax, focus on your lungs and inhale deeply to make it fully expand in your chest with oxygen and hold it for 5 seconds and then exhale all of it it at once. Repeat it until you feel very relax and cool your minds down from your stress. Maybe the advise of "take a deep breath" sound lame and even more cliche to some of you, but it holds true when it comes to overcome stress.

Call Good Friends
When you feeling stress, please don't keep it to yourself. Everyone need someone to talk to when they have problem regardless how big the problem is because the more you keep it to yourself, the greater pressure you will get. So, why don't you call your best friends and share what you experience, what makes you feel tense and seek for their advise if possible. Even if they cannot really help you in certain issue like finance problems for instance, but at least even by sharing it with best friends will ease your minds and lessen the big burden on your shoulders. And trust me, everyone need supports from someone they trust and same goes to you as well.

Playing with Pets
Apart from calling your friends, if you think the methods not really applies to you, you can play with your pets instead. Not everyone has pet, so for those who have it, you can take this method as for you to release your pressure. And yes, for some people, playing with their beloved pets can relief them from their pressure indeed. But however, for those who don't, you can apply the methods i mentioned earlier instead.

Watch A Comedy
Watching comedy is another way for you to release your stress. This method is believed to be very effective to those who has intense level of pressure indeed. As mentioned by experts, many working adults getting stress from family and even workplace are rarely watch movies due to their hectic life. So, the rare things to do can be the most effective methods to release pressure as well. But of course, it must be a movies that have many hilarious scene instead of horror. So why don't you spend time, switch-on your television and watch any comedies with your family members or friends. Only you can feel the difference when watching comedies with them instead of sitting in front of your television alone.

Try Aromatherapy Massage 

Maybe some of you ever heard of the aromatherapy before right? For for those who don't, let me explain briefly about what aromatherapy is about. Well, aromatherapy is actually a treatment for pressure by the uses of certain scents and then inhale them accordingly to release pressure. As massage also another way to release pressure, it actually can deploy the feel-good hormones in human's brain as well. And of course, by getting your tension worked out of your muscles will help to work out the tension out from your mind as well. And by combining these 2 factors, it is definitely good and beneficial for those who practise it. 

Well, i think these methods are very useful for those who want to relieve their pressure. There are many other ways that also suitable and good for you to practise them, but what i had mentioned above is quite popular ones and best for you to consider. Become a stress-free person is definitely impossible but way to manage stress is very important. 

And please keep in mind that the uses of any drugs, gambling, alcohols, sleep too much should be strictly avoided since it will cost you more harmful effect to yourself. So, manage your stress wisely and get yourself a healthy lifestyle too!
