Try meditation or yoga. That's proven to relax a stressful mind.

Simple if you have no time for them all, then they are not all important.

"stress" is what we do to ourselves by not saying "No"!

Nowdays stress has become one of the major problems that people die. I belive that you can be yourself a nice and good patience if you know how to avoid this.

When stress starts making mess in my life I try to find some time to spend with my friends somewhere open-air, nature and good company always help

**mpw45233** · 12-26-2010, 08:55 PM

I run. And I know, I've heard people say this for years, and I thought it was total BS. After all, I didn't enjoy running laps for wrestling in high school. But I have to say it is like a dopamine shot straight to the brain, and now I'm addicted. A nice day in the park, it's even better.

If you don't have time, try 20-30 minutes of interval training. Alternate 30 seconds of hardcore running; or an eliptical, treadmill, bike, uphill....anything that gets your heart rate up, with 30 seconds at a modest pace.

And if you don't think you have time for even that, please keep in mind that your 30 minute "investment" will pay yoou back many times over in the form of peak mental efficiency. (And trust me, I need all the help I can get

**Nanaa** · 12-26-2010, 10:29 PM

do not say no , leave some time to yourself and hope you can become better , and i belive god , you can .

Some coffee might help? Not just because of its energy boost but possible kick.

**robin12** · 01-02-2011, 12:30 PM

You need to have a proper sleep. and early in the morning try and join any yoga classes and relax your self. i understand it is hectic to work with pressure. try to do this you will find some difference.

Do overdo everything. Each of us has its limits. If you feel tired, relax and have a rest. I know its hard to do that especially if your used to,but just try.
