what causes stress and some ways to reduce stress.

we are stressed out all most on daily bases.. the questions comes..

What are sources of stress?
Change of any kind can induce stress because of:

fear of the new, the unknown

feelings of personal insecurity

feelings of vulnerability

fear of rejection

need for approval

lack of tolerance for ambiguity

fear of conflict

fear of taking a risk

fear of developing trust

fear of inability to cope with changed circumstances....

Here are some ways to reduce stress...


1. Define your goals: we must define our life goals and begin to achieve these goals; this action will support us against stress because we will feel that we know what our life purpose is and why, and that we control our own lives.

2.Take control of your diet: we can use simple ways in our diet plans to reduce stress by avoiding some stimulants such as coffee, alcohol, tea and sugar and we can use chamomile tea as an alternative because of its calming and relaxing effect. We need to eat slowly in a calm environment to allow our digestive system to work well. We can use honey as an alternative to sugar but in small amounts (one or two spoonfuls per day).

3.Take hot baths regularly: after a very busy day or when we feel that we need to relax.

4.Exercise: This is one of the important things you can do which will reduce stress and bring happiness. When we exercise, our brains release substances which bring feelings of happiness and relaxation; we need engage in some exercise regularly such as walking, dancing or swimming.

5.Talking through your problems: talking about your feelings acts as a releasing mechanism and you will soon find that talking about your problems with your partner or best friend may help the solution to the problem come to light and will help to release blocked emotions.

6. Multivitamins:take a Vitamin B complex regularly to decrease stress.
