By: Clive Cable

You can rid yourself of much of your stress by using these easy to follow tips to reducing stress in your life.

#1 Decide what are the major reasons for you feeling stressed and jot them down in your diary or journal.

#2 Jot down in your journal your stress triggers and how you could deal with them and when they occur.Plan ahead so next time a trigger occurs you are prepared.

#3 Next time you feel stress happening slow down, then reflect a little on why you feel stressed and then react accordingly.

#4 Put things that have happened in the past to the back of your mind and allow your future to reflect your current decisions.You can't influence your past but you can change your future. This fact alone will allow you to face situations with more confidence.

#5 Don't assume that you'll fail if you do anything keep a positive frame on things in your life and this will help you cope with anything.

#6 It's almost a certainty that there are people much worse off than you are who need your help. Help others or become part of a support group as this will increase you confidence and self belief.

#7 When stressed try breathing exercises as they help bring your body to a calmer state. If you also count slowly backwards from 100 while breathing it helps.

#8 Keep things that are special and beautiful in your life, plants and flowers can be especially soothing. Some people find reading helps or even music.

#9 Treat yourself to a warm bath, jaccuzi or even a massage with aromatherapy oils either do this at home or visit a spa . Soft music and candles also help the mood. Maybe enjoy this time with a lover or a girlfriend.

#10 As long as you know they respect your confidences speak to friends and family about what is bothering you.

#11 Don't end up a hermit, spend time with family and friends when possible and go out to bars, restaurants and other social events. If time allows spend an extended vacation with family.

#12 Keep your home and working area (even if you work from home tidy) it will stop you feeling over whelmed when things get out of hand and on top of you.

#13 When you have concerns about any health issues or your performance in the bedroom speak to your doctor straight away. He may suggest counselling, therapy or other forms of support.

#14 Eat well and ensure you keep to a proper diet. If the pressure from work stops you eating meals prepare food in advance so that you have time to enjoy it. Don't feel bad about going out and eating in your favorite restaurant when you really need a lift.

#15 Don't put off those tasks you have been dreading any longer. Seldom will you find that they are actually as bad as they are when your procrastinating about them. Start you day with a walk then a bath or shower and get dressed even on your days off.

I put together these few tips to help many people deal with the stresses and daily rigours of life. However you might find you require additional help and if this is the case you should seek it sooner rather than later for your stress.
