Productivity and activity will help reduce stress, as long as it's for yourself. I'm not much of an exercise buff, but I know it helps to just get up and do something in the morning, to workout the stress you've built up over the last day. Some people go for a bike ride. Some people go for a run. I prefer lifting weights or doing a little writing. Do something for yourself in the morning that is either mentally or physically beneficial to you. Maybe Yoga?Writing a to-do list will help reduce stress. A lack of concentration can be caused by stress, and a lack of concentration will inevitably cause you to forget even the most basic things. One of the most effective stress management activities you can do is sit down and try to think about the most important things that need to be accomplished that day--and then do them. Also, throw an item on your list that involves doing something nice for someone special. Doing something nice for someone everyday is guaranteed to relieve some social stresses.Learning to communicate with others effectively will reduce stress. When ideas or emotions are left unsaid, they tend to stew in our minds, causing us to say stupid or thoughtless things in order to avoid what's really on our minds. If you're sincere and honest (and friendly) with the people around you, either at work or at home, people will learn to respect you feelings and opinions. No more drama caused by misunderstandings.Relieving yourself of bad habits like smoking and drinking will reduce your stress dramatically. Bad habits cause more stress than anything else. Once you stop abusing your body there will be no more worrying about lung cancer, emphysema, liver disease, stomach cancer, sclerosis of the liver, and pancreatitis. Don't forget that a poor diet is as much a bad habit as smoking or drinking, so balance those meals and eat more produce.Depression and anxiety medication will relieve the symptoms, but not the stress. Sometimes medications like Prozac and Xanax can help a person who has stresses that are or seem to be unsolvable—and I do use a drug called Lorazepam on occasion to help relieve the symptoms of stress (anxiety and panic attacks). But one must realize that these solutions are only temporary; taking time out for yourself and changing your lifestyle is the only permanent solution.
