Relieve stress

As i know stress consumes our time and energy and weakens our immune system as well. It causes restlessness, unhappiness, impatience and anger and eventually it could have been harm our life, ambitions, relationships and health and there is no doubt that it would be much better to live without it.

Well, i think one of the method probably the best for stress management is through meditation as it exerts a calming effect on the body, nerves and blood pressure, reduces restlessness, and brings peace of mind, detachment and equanimity. To experience the benefits of meditation one needs to meditate everyday, but the problem is that not everyone has the discipline, will and desire to meditate, even when realizing the benefits of meditation.

It is not always possible to control or eliminate the reasons of stress, but it is possible to act and behave in certain ways that could reduce or alleviate it. For example, we can't always control the conditions of our life and circumstances, but we may learn to choose not to be internally influenced by them too much. Anyway, there's some solutions which i think it might help to relieve stress:

-> When stress is building up, STOP what you are doing and take a short walk.
-> When we got stressed, drink some water or juice.
-> When we are understress, take a few slow deep breaths.
-> Eat some food we like, because food can calm down restlessness and nervousness.
-> Listen to our favorite music.
-> Do something that we like doing.
-> Watch a funny movie.
-> Exercise our inner freedom, and DON'T let other people thoughts, opinions, words or actions affect us.
-> Engage in sports or physical activity.

Personally i believed we can manage our stress if we put our mind to it and surely it requires some efforts and times on our part but the rewards are great in return.

"The more peaceful our mind becomes, the less stress we experience."

Life can be made happier

Life can be made happier and it is a matter of choice. It is our attitude that makes us feel happy or unhappy. It is true that you and i met all kinds of situations during the day, and some of them may not be conductive to happiness. We can choose to keep thinking about the unhappy events and we can choose to refuse to think about them, and relish the happy moments instead. Perhaps we constantly gone through various situations and circumstances, but we do not have to let them influence our reactions and feelings.

If we let outer events influence our moods then we might become their slaves, chances are we might lose our freedom just because we let our happiness to be determined by outer forces. On the other hand, we can free ourselves from outer influences. We can choose to be happy and we can do a lot to add happiness to our lives.

Well, happiness is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction. It is usually experienced when there are no worries, fears or obsessing thoughts, and this usually happens when we do something we love to do or when we get, win, gain or achieve something that we value. It seems to be the outcome of positive events, but it actually comes from the inside, triggered by outer events. Sometimes we may begin the day with the desire to accomplish several objectives. At the end of the day we might feel frustrated and unhappy, because we haven't been able to do all of those things.

For most people happiness seems fleeting because they let changing outer circumstances affect it. One of the best ways to keep it, is by gaining inner peace through daily meditation. As the mind becomes more peaceful, it becomes easier to choose the happiness habit. Most importantly - SMILE more often.
