At times we tend to forget that whatever it takes or no matter what we do, we should always find a way to relax and be better the next day! here are my stress relieving tips that you may find helpful so you can start living, A Stress Free Life. :)
1. We face stress from all areas of life--work, school, relationships. One amazing way to relieve stress is by reducing it--minimizing the amount of stressors you face in your life by cutting some things out. It will take many forms, from letting go of a relationship that factors stress, to letting go of commitments that carry stress, to letting go of "stuff" that creates clutter in your space. Examining your existence for areas where stressors can be eliminated is a proven strategy, in that it might slash the whole amount of stress you face, so you may have more energy and endurance to control the stressors that are not able to be cut.

2. Nothing is more stressful than being unorganized. Get prepared so you're ready for the next day, taking a few minutes to make a to-do list and clean up before you leave. Knowing you've got everything covered means you'll be less likely to fret about work in the evenings. When you come in the next morning, you'll have the sense that you're in control of the situation and can handle it. This brings a positive tone for the day, which will help you be more accomplished.

3. Slow or meditative music is a proven stress buster, so set your dial to a soothing station during your commute. Women worry more than men do. Women tend to worry whereas a man might fret about something actual and specific—such as the fact that he's just been passed over for a promotion—a woman will tend to worry abstractly about her job, her weight, plus the well-being of every member of her extended family. Keep your anxiety focused on real, immediate issues, and tune out imagined ones or those over which you have zero control, and you'll automatically reduce stress overload.

4. Don't be so serious. There's nothing like anxiety to annihilate your sense of humor. It would follow, then, that it's impossible to feel stressed when you're hunched over in a fit of giggles. Studies have shown, in fact, that laughter not only relieves tension, but actually improves immune function. Swap jokes with your friends. Watch a funny movie. Stop taking things so seriously!
"I've got 99 problems and 86 of them are completely made up scenarios in my head that I'm stressing about for absolutely no logical reason."
5. Identify at least one good thing that happened today. It's a scenario played out every evening. Come home from work and start venting to your spouse or roommate about your day. Instead of creating a negative atmosphere the minute you walk in the door, try starting off the evening with your family or friends by exchanging good news. Something good every day, you just need to recognize it.
"In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive."
