However, a little amount of stress keeps us motivated to our task, but if we are getting overstressed, it means we are in ruining our lives. When under stress, we catch all the adverse conditions of our life, both in psychological and physiological terms. Till date, relaxation and meditation are found to be the most effective ways for managing stress.

Stress - Are you feeling it?

Stress is not at all pre-defined. Typically, we get stressed when we are not too concerned about reality and realistic goals, and we do not know how to manage our time, so we are unable managing stress as well. These two factors contribute to most of the stressful situations. However, there are a few inevitable situations (such as divorce, loss of job, relationship crisis, etc.) which throw us into the stress tunnel. We simply cannot avoid these stressful situations. Even an emotionally strong individual needs time to restore his healthy balance after facing these types of stressors in life.

Stress can affect anyone!

Any one can get affected by stress. Whether you are an adolescent or a young adult, or an aged individual; you are not at all free from stress. However, the pattern may be different from each other. But the impact is more or less same for every one.

Why do we need to manage stress?

It is simply because we cannot eliminate stressors from our life. All we can do is to adopt different measures for managing stress in our life. If we do not take proper action for managing stress, it means that we will end up at distress. In a distress condition, we will find ourselves simply broken both psychologically and physiologically. When we are overstressed, it affects us in three ways - psychologically, physiologically and emotionally.

The common stress symptoms are headaches, nervousness, rashes, stomachaches, fast heartbeat, perspiration, increased urination, lack of concentration, forgetfulness, drop in task performance, unable to concentrate, carelessness, boredom, anger outbursts, nightmares, depression, scared, withdrawn, irritation and others. We can easily say that none of these we can really welcome to our life. So, quite obviously we need to adopt proper measure for managing stress.

How do we manage stress?

There are possibly hundreds and thousands of concepts for managing stress, however, relaxation and meditation are found to be best measures for managing stress so far.

You can experience a great variety of these two techniques and mostly all these variations offer excellent solution to stress management program. In relaxation process you can simply relax to sooth your mind and body. Either you can do it by yourself or you can perform relaxation under an expert practitioner. You may begin with simple relaxation and they gradually uplift yourself to experience progressive muscle relaxation in which we need to tighten your muscle initially and then relax them accordingly step by step. An exquisite form of relaxation is called visualization or guided imagery in which you are asked to imagine the places or events where you want to see yourself. It offers a peace of mind, hence lowers the effect of stress quite significantly. If you can practice it one regular basis, you can be benefited in terms of reducing fast heartbeat, lowering high blood pressure, reducing the need for bodily oxygen, reducing muscle tension, enhancing blood circulation and many more.

Additionally, if you practice meditation, it will help you to focus your mind on a specific focal point. Meditation can be practiced in different ways depending on your lifestyle and requirement. When we are stressed out, we may lose our ability to decision making or problem solving. A regular practice of relaxation in combination with meditation can ensure you to take a great care of all of your anxieties, enhance your ability to take decision or solve problems and help you to promote a healthy balance in your life.

He wants to die young.
By: worriedfriend | 03-08-2008
i've made friends with this very friendly man. as i've got to know him better, i have noticed somethings that do not sound healthy to me such as him wanting to die by the age of 40 max. he doesnt want to get married or have children because he has claimed to have tried it once and things didnt work out. he actually wasnt even really married but just dated this girl for a really really really long time. he doesnt visit the doctor even when he is in severe pain and says that he deserves it. he almost never sleeps and claims that his daily 5 mile run keeps him going... he doesnt really open up. he talks about what has happened, but doesnt express his deep feelings about it. he has been through some great challeneges in life. i feel like there is something he is not over. and im very worried about him. when i try and point out that maybe he needs help or his way of thinking is not normal, he tells me that im wrong because he wouldnt lie to himself or "i love being outside of the norm". it seems as if he is in denial about the whole thing... and also that he is very weak emotionally. he breaks down and takes things very hard. he expresses no hatred or negative feelings towards anyone but god and he claims thats because he would rather god take him away than the people he keeps taking out of this life. it seems as though he is trying to run from the reality of life. i've done research on depression but i havent gotten any real results. i dont know what i could do to help him. i am very worried to a point where im thinking about this situation all the time. i have to find a way to get to him and make him understand. i believe he has been goign through this for a while now, not sure exactly how long. but i know its been over three years for sure. any advice? i am willing to do whatever it takes. and is something even wrong or am i over analyzing the situation? there is a lot more to his behavior than i expressed earlier ... i tried to sum it up to the best of my ability. otherwise he is a very very friendly person. one of those friends that you cant help but cherish. always there. always willing to go out of his way for you. i mean, you couldnt ask for more from a friend. he claims to not have very many close friends and has told me that he considers me one. he is very close with his family and does whatever he could for them. but he says that right now its all about them but later in life "i want to be selfish for once" and that's when he wants to end his life ... i really dont get it...  please give me any advice or feedback you may have.
