How to stress less
It made me
feel relieved
 "ahhh... less stress. So nice"
How I did it: Okay, so I've has some issues with anxiety and stuff, so stressing less has been something on my mind for a while.I just tried to see things in a different perspective, and remind myself that I can't know everything, and that messing up is okay. Overtime it was easier and believed that stuff more. I still get stressed out some, but not as bad as I used to. Lessons & tips:

Relieved
How I did it: Once I realized that I was drowning in stress I decided that I was not going to allow myself to be a victim of it, and simply took the control back to my life. I rarely am one to stress for longer than a day or so about something, so the fact that I was good and stressed out for at least two months was pretty remarkable, but I'm glad I got myself out of it through hard work and an unwillingness to be bothered by things out of my con… Read how I did it…

How I did it: If you are having anxiety attacks about your life while you work, like I do often, then you need to set this as a goal immediately. If you ever find yourself seriously or jokingly considering suicide as a "way out," than you need to set this as a goal.I listened to a speaker on how to stress less, and she made some valid points. You cannot solve stress related issues by simply ignoring or running away from them. You must confront the sour… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I get physically ill when I'm stressed. I've been to a couple doctors and had been told the same thing, that I was in pain due to stress. So I had no choice. Part of dealing with it was to recognize that some things were just not worth the effort to worry about, some things were just a passing aggravation, and some things are a necessary part of life. Being stressed does not influence the outcome of anything, except the probability of me … Read how I did it…

How I did it: Between school, my new fitness challenge, and beginning to pepare for the LSAT, I haven't had time to stress. These things, if I focused on one individually, would all cause me to stress, I'm the first to admit. But when I charged in, and just started working toward accomplishing my goals, I didn't have time to compartmetlize, and then agonize, over how long it was taking to do these things. I'm actually content knowing that I a… Read how I did it…

I seem to be doing this but...

Not to the extent I would like to be.
I still stress out over small things, and these small things usually are not worth the fighting & tears by the end of the day. Then I look back and wish I’d never got so worked up over it.
Need to continue at this goal!

I am so stressed out!
3 weeks ago
This one really needs to be taken care of soon. I can feel my body reacting negatively to all of this stress I am putting on myself. Running always seems to help me, but I can’t just take off and run everytime a new stressor comes upon me. I need an immediate stress reducer as well to tackle those unexpected stresses that come up throughout the day. I don’t know what to do!!!! I don’t want to smoke or drink or do any more unhealthy things to my body. Maybe I’ll try journaling my stresses at that moment as writing things down tends to help.
This goal must be accomplished before the end of this term. I will not go into my second semester of my credential this frazzled and allow myself to continue this terrible stress.
If anyone else has any other ideas for immediate fixes for stress, then please send them my way. I’m beginning to drown in it.

I feel so much happier. I am letting small things slide and not worry me…
I’ve learned that the small stuff is not worth worrying over and if it can be easily resolved just to LET IT GO!!!

I want to be less stressed.
1 month ago
Being stressed makes me days, weeks, and months terrible. Just a small amount of stress changes my relationships with people and can totally mess up things I have going on in my life.
I stress over everything. From rent getting paid on time, to where my missing cell phone charger is.
I stress more over things involving other people, because I don’t trust others to get things done.
My perspective is one that focuses on details, instead of focusing on getting things done.
Fixes to try this week:
- When presented with an issue, instead of being upset, come up with a plan of action. If no options can be found, work around it until something comes up.
- Trust people that deserve it, but also don’t rely on others to help you meet goals.
- When I get stuck on bad details, calm down and ask myself, “Will I even remember this ten years from now?” Chances are, I won’t, because it’s little shit that I just need to work around.
Mental Case

I definitely stress myself out over the smallest, most trivial things. It makes it harder for me to enjoy things. I now have a boyfriend in the military, so life goes where they want us to go. And that makes me stress more, which does not help the situations. So I’m going to work on stressing myself less
