No one is exempted from having stress, anyone can affected, that is why you should the Tips below carefully to manage and coping with stress.
Remove Yourself From Situation
"I think completely removing yourself from the situation where there are no reminders of what is causing the stress is good for a break. I also think laughing with friends is a good remedy!"
– Stephanie Elliott, an HR professional in Seattle
Help Someone Else
"Something I have tried to use to reduce stress is to reach out in some way to someone who needs help. It could be as small as calling up someone you know who could use the company or going to Costco and buying socks and underwear for the homeless. I always feel better in part because it takes my focus off of my problems and also because it feels good to reach out to others."
– Julie Patyk, mother of three in New Jersey
Spend Time With Your Kids
"As a working mom I would deal with stress by coming home and just squeezing the kids, going to the park, reading a book with them. Just the smell of the their hair would have a calming effect. In a similar vein, just think of the times when our kids were babies and totally upset about something -- just taking them in our arms and murmuring sweet nothings helped them relax."
– Courtney Walsh, a journalist in Rome
See A New Movie
"Go out and sit in a theater and see something new. Don't watch an old movie that you've already seen. Go check out something completely different that will take your mind off things."
– Dan Lowry, a carpenter in Dallas
Exercise
"The only things that helped me were physical exercise (especially swimming or walking), reading novels, stroking my dog and having a hot bath! I did try Buddhist meditation earlier this year ... but I didn't carry on with it as it took up too much time and I never made time to do it at home alone."
– Debbie Turner, a reflexologist in London
Learn Something New
"I take a class and learn something new if I'm in a stressful period of my life. I've taken classes in cooking and Italian. I like to do something I've never tried before ... something that really pushes me. This makes me feel better."
– Tara Wolman, a small business owner in St. Louis
Cook For Others

– Alma Schneider, owner of Take Back The Kitchen in New Jersey
Plan A Trip
"If something very stressful is happening to me, I like to create something to look forward to. I usually plan a trip -- a vacation -- even if it's six months down the road. It helps me mentally if I have something to look forward to that I'm excited about."
– Laura Bauer, mother of two in New York City
Do Kundalini
"I just did a Kundalini intensive for 40 days right after a summer of major life changes (closed business that I built, dad diagnosed with cancer for second time, my 18-year-old dog died, my best friend from when I was 14-years-old moved from down the street to across the country all in the same month). I am a different person. I am over a lifetime worth of resentment towards family members and instead feel just love and compassion and understanding..."
– Jennifer Chaky, businesswoman in New Jersey
