How To Manage Stress



From Elizabeth Scott, M.S., your Guide to Stress Management
Today I'm bringing resources to help you combat stress from several different angles. You'll find different ways of thinking that can reduce stress, you'll find new ways of enjoying life, and you'll get wisdom from others on one of my favorite stress relievers: friends! I hope you enjoy your week and make the most of it, and find yourself feeling as relaxed and happy as you're hoping to be. -Elizabeth

Celebrate Anti-Boredom with Some Active Fun
Boredom can actually be a stressor, and if you spend a significant portion of your life feeling bored, you're missing many opportunities for enjoying life and relieving stress. Read on to find out how one celebrates Anti-Boredom Month (or at least how I would do it), and share your own thoughts in the comments section.

Mind Tricks for Stress Relief
Okay, I'm not suggesting that you diabolically toy with anyone's psyche (nor am I attempting to do so with yours), but there are some tricks you can use to turn your own attitudes and perceptions away from stress, and toward a greater sense of peace. Read more on that.

Reader's Wisdom on Social Support
Friends can pick you up when you're feeling down, can celebrate life's triumphs, and can inspire you to live a better life, among many other benefits. These relationships can also be one of the more powerful sources of stress. What types of relationships and social support work best for you? What do you look for in a friendship or other relationship? Here are a few thoughts from readers.
