Stressed out?

I am a person who stresses about every little detail and how everything has to go right.

Not the best way to think but it hasn't failed me yet.

I calm my stress by doing a number of things:

1. be 30-15 minutes early to everything (I was 30 minutes early for class today and I tend to be an average of 5 minutes early for work)

2. find an outlet. sometimes zoning out watching hours of television works. I play Call of Duty MW2 to take out my extra stress. make sure the outlet is safe and not harmful.

Those are what help me. Here is a website with some more tips.

the top five are:

1. Exercise. “Run, do some yoga, punch a bag at the gym,” advises Charles Goodstein, MD, clinical professor of psychiatry at New York University School of Medicine in New York City and president of the Psychoanalytic Association of New York. Exercise is a way to manage stress that doesn’t have to add to your financial woes. For example, a 20-minute walk or jog around your block can yield up to 12 hours of improved mood. The main thing is to find a physical activity that you enjoy, whether it’s dancing or fly fishing.(My best friend plays her Wii)
2. Laugh. Laughter really is the best medicine. It is proven to lower tension, and at the same time, improves blood flow and the health of your heart. Rent a funny movie or hang out with that wannabe-comedian pal, and forget about your worries for a while.
3. Write. Dedicating a period of time every day to write about a situation that is bothering you may reduce tension and give you stress relief for the rest of the day. Keeping a journal can also help you solve problems or find positive angles amongst the stressors.
4. Socialize. Spending time with friends and family who give you a sense of belonging, purpose, and fun may provide all the stress relief you need.
5. Take care of yourself. When tension spikes, it can be tempting to put yourself last — but prioritizing healthy eating, physical activity, relationships, and sleep is necessary if you want to avoid making your stress worse.
