Stress is caused by several reasons: getting married, having a baby, losing a job, getting a divorce... But, sometimes it's not evident to see why we are stressed. Stress is feeling overwhelmed or feeling that you have to deal with more you can handle. Stress affects our health, it affects our immune system, so it makes our body harder to fight when we are sick. Stress causes headaches, back pain, insomnia, stomach pain... It also affects our emotions (moodiness, depressed, tense, irritated), therefore our relationships may suffer from it and our job performance can get lower. Apply these tips to reduce stress:
1. Think about what is causing the stress and try to solve it. Write what is bothering you and try to find solutions. Be honest with yourself.
2. Get plenty of rest, reduce smoking, drinking alcohol and stay hydrated by drinking water and eat well.
3. Pamper yourself, get a massage, use aromatherapy, dress nicely, get your hair done. Feeling good about yourself helps your emotions.
4. Excercise (run, walk, bike ride). Do yoga, it helps relax your muscles and your mind.
5. Don't ignore your emotions, cry if you need to, laugh, talk.
6. Do something you like, a hobby, shopping, write, watch your favorite show.
7. Talk to someone, a family member, a friend. Also, consider talking to a counselor.

I wonder if you have some tips for some lady who just broke up with her boyfriend. Actually, the lady is me. I broke up with my boyfriend because I was tired and sick of being cheated on. Right now I am stressed out. I can hardly eat and sleep. I cry all the time. I miss him so much that I start thinking that it was a bad idea to leave my boyfriend. I feel so unhappy and lost!!! What should I do? Should I take him back???
I go for long walks listenning to my ipod when I am stressed. It helps but trying to solve it makes it better.
