We
all have had some form of stress is our lives. It may be from not being able to
find the remote, to being annoyed or even furious with the people
around us. What we don't realize is, however, this stress we build up can cause
some serious issues such as acne and high blood pressure. It isn't the simplest
task to lead a stress free life. How does one do it?
1
First, stop and sit down and think and make a list of all the stressful things
in your life. Now think of all the good things in your life that will happen
and have happened. Now look at all the stressful things and come up with a
good, and positive solution for each one. Try doing this once a week, or if you
feel like you're under a lot of stress. You're now stressing free!
2
How do you know if you're under stress, not just by how you feel? Well the most
common symptoms are, constantly gritting your teeth, nausea, having trouble
breathing, panic attacks, pain of any kind, eczema, depression, sleep problems,
obesity, and digestive problems.

If you feel like you need a break in life try doing this: Treat yourself to
something warm and tasty (be sure it's something healthy though, unhealthy
foods just add to the stress!) Like chicken noodle soup. Proceed with a warm
tea and hot bath. Take the bath with bath beads, or just a simple bubble bath
will be fine. Afterwards, dress in warm pajamas, and watch your favorite movie
and even have a small piece of chocolate to top it off.
4
Try just taking deep breaths every once in a while. Breath through your nose
and count to three and breath out through your mouth counting down from three.
Do this three times and you'll feel much better!
5
When you're alone, talk out loud about what you have to get done. Then say when
and how you are going to finish that stuff. When you hear yourself figure out a
plan, it will create more confidence that you can get it all done. Technically,
you don't have to be alone when you do this, but you may seem a little crazy if
you're talking to yourself in your school hallways!
6
Try to keep peace with people at home and at work, school, etc. Try being happy
and positive and understanding of those around you.
7
Keep a healthy diet! Eating unhealthy foods puts unwanted oils in your body
that cause acne, and makes you feel ... blee. Try having five fruits and
vegetables each day. This means having at least two servings of meat and
poultry each day is healthy. Avoid eating a lot of foods that contain alcohol,
caffeine, wheat, dairy, and sugar. (Soda, coffee, alcoholic beverages, pasta,
bread, etc.)
8
Stay hydrated! Drinking at least eight full glasses of water a day helps a lot!
It washes out unwanted toxins in the body which contribute to stress and acne.
Drink the water as the day goes by, not all at once.
9
Have a clean healthy life style. Keep your room clean and make your bed each
morning when you wake up. Clean your sheets every four weeks and shower every
day. Wash your face as soon as you wake up in the morning. Don't leave clothes
on your floor and try to keep your floors clear. Keep your drawers organized.
Even try practicing feng shui.
