One way to make our stress less is by share our activities and perhaps some problems to our beloved friends or family.
The positive feelings we get from them can help us to think positively, too..
At least, that's what I always do and it works so far..

I've been reading posts for quite a while now. I'm amazed at the different views that people have; and I love it.

Stress has been an everyday for 45+ years, so I'll give it a whirl.

Live, Love, and Give

Painting is my meditation. I don't worry when I'm focused on my object of art.

So far for me...reciting positive affirmations, meditation and being proactive in my job search are helping me maintain a positive attitude and keeping stress and depression at bay.

Years ago I realized that I cannot control the circumstances and learned to quickly let go of things. Yoga and meditation help me to stay in the present and concentrate on the really important things in my life. When a stressful situation occurs I just slow dawn. I take deeper breaths and try to concentrate on a solution and not on the problem at hand.
Because my job is very stressful and extremely demanding, I take time to relax and unwind. I take care about my nutrition, pamper my body, and soothe my mind with calming music. And when things really get bad, I take calming herbs and go to bed early.

In my journal I posted a link to an article about stress management that I published on Hubpages. Everyone interested is welcome to read the post and my article. Maybe it will help...
