Stress is a kind of Chronicle disease. It gets in our daily lives and if not being well taken care of, it will affect our growth, work, lives, relationships, and health. Physically, it could cause insomnia, hypertension, heart attack, or even cancer.

Stress builds up gradually without us noticing. Normally, when we feel the effects of it, it has already went way past our tolerance level. It can be hard sometimes when we try to fight it, but there are some useful and handy ways which I personally tried and worked amazingly.

Here are 10 tips to reduce stress which I found most effective.

Any one of these only takes less than 30 minutes

1. Listen to your favourite cartoon theme song

2. Pat your dog or cat or any pet

3. Take 10 deep breathing, exhaling with a smile

4. Play your favourite CD and Dance with it.

5. Take a slow walk in the park or garden

6. Go for a 30 minute head and back massage

7. Laugh out loud for 10 minutes

8. Look through your family photo album and feel how lucky you are to have them in your live

9. Call someone dear to you and tell them how much you love them.

10. List down the things that stress you out, prioritize them, and write the solutions to complete the tasks and deadlines, strike them one by one upon executing the tasks.

A Story to Share…

Having a little faith is very useful. There is a simple story that I always tell myself when things don’t go smoothly as I wanted.

Once upon a time in China, there was a farmer who only had a horse. He lived with his wife and only son. One day, his horse went loose and they could not find it anywhere around his house. The Farmer was very sad and worried as he had no other possession to help him in his farming. He thought he was the most unlucky person in the world.

A week later, his horse came back, bring along another black horse with it. The farmer filled with joy and he thought he was not as unlucky as he thought after all. That unlucky incident turned out to be a lucky one.

His only son was very strong and he determined to train the black horse. When he was training in the fields, he fell from the horse back and was paralysed permanently. The farmer was devastated and felt like it was the end of his whole world as he put his family legacy and hope on his only son. He lived in pain and sadness from that day onwards.

Months later, there was a war between the interstates of China. The King summoned all strong men throughout the country to fight in the war. The farmer’s son was paralysed and so he was not selected to be in the army. All the others who were summoned died in he war. The farmer was so grateful and that his sum was not able to walk, which spared his live.

Sometimes in live, we need to have a little faith and trust, as everything happens for a reason. Therefore, whenever things look like there is no way out, it could be the only blessing one can ask for.
