Stress-free: Additional Tips to Combat Stress and Relieve Depression
Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing, Stress Remedies
Here are some additional tips to assist you in managing depression more effectively by reducing stress. A stress-free lifestyle could very well do wonders in eliminating depression.
1. Search Out For A Support Group. You’ll be able to manage stress much better if you have other people helping and supporting you. Di
d you know that married people and people who are outgoing (always meeting with friends), have considerably low levels of stress in their lives?
- Choose positive friends who are not worriers. Friends who continually put you down or talk gloomily about life will increase your anxiety. Invite a good friend to help you talk out a problem and get it off your chest. A long-distance call to an old pal can be great therapy.
- Pardon others instead of holding grudges. Slow down your standards – for yourself and others. Don’t expect too much. Perfectionism is not the means to happiness.
- Become more flexible and adaptable to your environment.
- Communicate clearly with your co-workers and boss.
- Ask questions. Repeat instructions that you are given. Clarifying directions at the start of a project can save lots of time later rectifying out misunderstandings.
- Be honest in your dealings with others. Lying and cheating leads to stress.
2. Consume Healthy Foods at the Appropriate Time.
- Never skip meals, especially breakfast. Get time out to eat heartily no matter how busy you are.
- Take nutritious snacks to the office, or even the shopping mall. A nutritionally balanced diet is essential to your health and lifestyle.
For example, researchers have found that even small deficiencies of thiamin, a B-complex vitamin, can cause anxiety symptoms. Pantothenic acid, another B-complex vitamin, is critical during times of stress. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and large amounts of sweets, which can worsen symptoms of stress.
3. Live Optimistically.
- Count your blessings, particularly when everything seems to go wrong.
- Believe that many other people are living in worse conditions than you are. Don’t exaggerate the complexity of your problems.
- Every problem has a solution. All you need to do is find that solution. Learn to be happy and to enjoy life’s blessings. Live one day at a time.
4. Put Off Problems Earlier Than They Occur. This takes some preparation.
- If you are going to another city for an valuable meeting, carry your presentation materials and dress suit on board the plane.
- Acquire gas for the car before the tank is unfilled. Get usual oil changes and checkups.
- Keep food ready anytime at your house so you can fix a fast meal without going to the store. Keep food, medicine, and toiletries on hand so you never have to feel tensed when they run out.
I urge you to use these tips repeatedly. Allow them to help you more-effectively manage depression by reducing the stressors in your life!
