How do you stop from stressing out so much??????

[ShadeTree]

WOOOOOOO SAAAAAAHHHHHH Lol! I don't really have anything in particular that I do. Usually, if I'm in a stressful situation I take a step back from it and go elsewhere. Either physically, or mentally. I'll go listen to music or rant to myself in private to get out what I need to without causing damage to relationships (friends, family, etc.), hurting anyone's feelings, or getting myself into trouble. Things that can put my mind in a fresh place away from the cause of said stress is what works best for me. (I can achieve this through various means.) Once I've had my 'time out' and been able to sort through emotions & such, then I can re-approach/re-examine the situation with a more level head and figure out the best possible means to resolve what's going on.

This is something that I have a really hard time with myself!   I am really bad to stress out about every little thing!  My husband tells me I need to pray more and let God handle it!  He says why stress when its something that I have very little to no control over anyway!

A great relief for stress is walking.  I walk about 30 minutes a day 6 days a week and that seems to do the trick.

What helps me from stressing out so much is that I keep a happy song in my head..

Like DONT WORRY, BE HAPPY lol

I have 2 grown children, My daughter is 33 and my son is 29. I thought that when they were grown and made a life of their own the worries would end there. My daughter and her husband just bought a new house and I worry (was this a mistake) my son just moved in with someone he's known for awhile yet i'm worring should they have taken it to that level and NOT move in right away? anyone that has grown children do you still worry about them? should I just let life take it's course and what ever happenes happenes and dont stress over it because it's out of my control anyways?..how does 1 stop stressing over every little thing? HELP i'm losing my mind with this stress ...thanks peeps HUGS to you all...........

[Your children are grown up if they need your help they will ask for it. Let them discover and you be there for them if they fall. If their choices bother you speak your peace and drop it, just never drop your love. Let them follow their hearts. Life has it's own lessons for them, pray for them, love them and remember you raised them and trust that they will find their way./quote]

Thank you Loretta good advice. from now on i'll give it ALL up to God. I know I did a good job raising them so I will just sit back and let life take it's course and be there when needed...thank you all for such good advice I feel much better already!!

Wow Cateyes... I kinda feel bad for the reply I'm gonna make after reading your last post.  But I was gonna suggest drinking large amounts of alcohol on an hourly, daily, monthly and perhaps yearly basis.  This method may not actually reduce your stress, but you won't really care.  Your mind will be off in la la land.  OK, forget it.  Not a good idea.  In fact, a bad idea.  I think giving it up the guy upstairs is probably better!  God bless...

I think that everyone one here have posted great advise!! Pray, walking and etc. You can never stop the worry or stress in life. As a parent you will always love and worry about your kids. You can only find ways to not let it over take you.

I would say try your best to keep your self as busy as possible in order to keep your mind off it, or just sleep all day
