Remember the moments when you are so stress that you cannot think properly? Remember the moments when you let out your anger due to stressful situation? Remember the moments when you can feel the blood surging to your brain causing you a big headache? Do not let stress get controls of you but you should have control of it (because stress is controllable in the first place).

Take a step back and follow these simple instructions:

1) Take a deep breath. A really deep one.

When you could not take in anymore air. Just let it out.

2) Repeat it. Five times. Ten times. Up to you.

The point of this step is to allow sufficient amount of oxygen flushing into you brain to help you relax.

3) Look at the source(s) of the stress.

Is it because you have to complete an assignment and the deadline is just around the corner? Overdue bills, pressurizing boss, mountains of work to do or a hard-to-please mother-in-law? Think about it, where is that stress coming from and how come it makes you so stress. Some people are stress-prone and the stress might not have its source. After you find the source, reason around it. Is this stress source life-threatening?

Is it going to cost you a job? Sometimes, you might have different sources of stress, prioritize them, list it down one by one and see which one requires more attention. And you might notice some of the sources of your stress are of minute importance, throw them away and look at the big picture! Looking at the more importance stuff helps you to realise there is one or two things in life that required immediate attention and not 10 at the same time. In this way you reduce stress and can focus more on the immediate problem that need to be solved.

There are many ways to do meditation, you can sit down, close your eyes and think about nothing. Or you can meditate on breathing in and out (usually that is the first technique of learning meditation). Or you can walk slowly and observing your thought. Whatever ways. It works. For whatever purpose you want to achieve.

I have a stress-free life and it is not because I do not have stress but I simply manage it.
