Managing Stress?

[gutterflower.]

I am about to turn 16, but I have been extremly stressed. mom some of it is Seasonal Affective Disorder, because I life in Alaska and we have about 4.5 hours of Daylight right now. I have been sittiin front of a SUN BOX every morning, and getting good sleep, so far.How can I manage my stress? Theraphy is not an option right now, but I am so upset because I get frustrated easier then I used to (it started when we moved in with my whiny/needy grandma and her stupid dog). Everything bothers me right now, and I want to be able to cope. I have a lot of responsibillity (and privleges, too), but I babysit and do chores and help out a LOT, which i cant get away from because mom & dad need the help. i went to a friends house monday just to calm down and have some peace, and she let me know later that I sighed- a lot. and i DO sigh a lot. I felt really good yesterday, after going to a friends house (alone) but tonight I feel like just crying.what can I do?

See stress treatments, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris on page 42. Practice daily, one of the relaxation techniques on pages 2, 11, 2c, or 2i; whichever works best for you, but the mindfulness breathing for 15 - 20 mns is ideal. Employ the EFT version for use in public, for which you can reasonably claim that you have a headache, as you massage your temples. Pages 3.c at * and 2, 2.q and 2.o refer. You can also multitask, using the gazing technique, as you walk/jog or exercise, by focusing on a distant object, noting any thoughts which flash accross your mind, without pursuing any particular train of thought, just gently redirect your focus to the gazing. Take 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily, replacing 2 of them with cod liver oil, in the winter months, and eat healthily, in accordance with your "nutritional type" as determined at http://www.mercola.com/ TASKBAR. S.A.D. is addressed in section 2.

Stress is a result of resistance to life as it is. Therefore stop resisting what arises, in you or around you.Accept what is.
