When you’re under stress, your mind's resources become locked up

You can feel stressed when you’re pressured by a lot of tasks that you have to finish, by a lot of unfinished work that should be done in due time or when under some kind of pressure for a long period of time. (learn more about the causes of stress )

If you noticed yourself while being under stress you will find yourself unable to accept any external influences even if they were was very tiny like a little noise caused by your kids to an extent that you may end up shouting at them.

When you are under stress your mind's resources become locked up and busy processing something else which makes it hard for you to accept any other external input or influence.

Stress management tips

The following stress management tips can help you deal with your stress and reduce it to a great extent:

• The first thing you can do to deal with stress is to eliminate as many external factors as you can that help your stress appear magnified. Some of the external factors that can increase your stress are noise, untidy workplace, or bad lighting.
• Another very powerful thing you can do to reduce stress is to go exercising. Stress, after all, is something that consumes your mental resources so if you went exercising you will be using your muscles while putting no load at all on your mind or mental resources. After you finish exercising, you will wonder how your stress was reduced. People who exercise regularly are less likely to suffer from implications of stress than people who don't.
• Following a healthy diet containing fruits and vegetables and that does not contain alcohol can help much in stress reduction.
• Contrary to your common beliefs smoking increases stress levels. It’s just the way you breath that makes you feel relaxed and not the cigarette itself.
• Another thing you must know is that most of the emotions you experience is just a choice. Yes, you did choose to be stressed when you faced these situations and that's why it kept happening. If your subconscious mind had a better solution rather than being stressed and if it were encouraged to do it, it would have most probably used it rather than making you stressed. If you figure that out while you’re stressed, your decisions become much less rational which may motivate you to control yourself rather than giving up to stress.
• Laughter can help a lot in reducing stress. Use humor as much as you can.
• Use CBT, a method of therapy, that is used to help you change your thoughts and so your stress function won't be triggered if you program yourself well.
• Using relaxation techniques can help you very much be in control and reduce the effect of stress
• Using a technique like NLP reframing to view the situation differently can make your stress vanish because you will find that you may be gaining more than what you are losing. Reframing in simple words is viewing the positive aspects of the situation rather than the negative ones by changing the frame that you put around the situation.
