Before we begin, check out these stress activities first. Consider it a primer for today's tips!

Anyway, are you ready? Let's go!

Stress Management Activities!

"I Look So Silly!".

Hmm?

The first activity is... Laugh at yourself.

Why?

It will help you find humor in your life. It will help you look at life in a very relaxed and "worry-free" manner.

You know, it makes you a kid again.

So here's how you do it...

1. Look at yourself in the mirror

2. Spot something silly about yourself (food stain, undone hair/clothes, etc)

3. Just laugh!

4. Then...Think about what stresses you out

5. Laugh at it!

It doesn't even have to be a real laugh. Sooner or later, you'll really start laughing.

Just think, "Oh my! How is something so small like that able to stress me out?"

"What? I Work?"

Well, this one is quite similar to the first activity.

Just think of all the things that are stressing you out.

And then pretend like it's the silliest thing you ever worried about.

Pretend like it doesn't exist. Then comes the fun part...

When someone asks you about it, act as if it has nothing to do with your life.

Why?

It will make you look at your stressor (the thing that stresses you out) in a very calm and smooth manner.

It will make your stressor seem like "no big deal".

How does this help?

You won't stress over it! Here's an example...

Stress Management Activities: "I Work?" Example...

Let's say you have a lot of paperwork to catch up on.

Before you leave home from work, your boss or colleague reminds you to do it.

"Hey, remember to finish all of those files by tomorrow". You reply, "Files? What files? I don't have any files to work on!"

BY saying this, what are you doing?

You're calming up your mind before the "attack".

You still have to do the files, but you're making it seem like it's "no big deal".

Bottom-line?

It makes your brain concentrate on the job, not the stress of the job.

Well, here's another stress management activity you can try...

You Can't See Stress!

I bet you think of stress as this "big bad monster who wants to eat you alive"!

Well, if you think of stress like that, of course it's going to "eat you alive".

Why?

Stress is all in your mind. You can't see stress.

Therefore, however you imagine it to be, that's how it's going to turn out.

You should think of stress as a tool to help you get things done.

Because that's what it is, really. Without stress, your life would be boring.

But you didn't know that, did you?

The more you think stress is going to "destroy you", the more it will.

Well, there you have it! Use these stress management activities to reduce your stress.

You'll feel happier too!

Stress Management Activities: Bottom-line?

What's the bottom-line for today?

If you want to reduce your stress, or even if you want to have some fun, use these stress management activities.

No stress means loads of other good things - happiness, freedom, tranquility, and that's just to name a few.

So, the goal is not to be stress-free...

The goal is to enjoy yourself no matter what happens!
