Dealing with Stress

Ever since a young age, I have always overworked myself in the midst of completing projects. I find myself with loads of homework, using loads of effort that I cannot manage. Even if procrastination is not a factor, stress is hard to deal with however the following tips may (or may not) help you cope with one of the biggest hindrances in acheiving maximum potential.

Always have a plan. Planning out your projects ahead of time will save a lot of time when pursuing your project. Take a giant calendar and write notes on what you want to finish on particular days. Then dig deeper, set goals within a day. What do you want to achieve today? Before dinner? Plans will improve efficiency by at least 100% , guaranteed.

Take breaks. I suggest to


  • go for a jog
  • go for a swim
  • drink a cup of tea
  • meditate
  • take a nap

Exercise, eating, and resting are three components to rejuvenating willpower. It may sound like a lot of pain to go jogging, however the after-effects are beneficial. Not only do you burn of a few calories, circulation throughout your body is improved and you will feel refreshed and ready to work. Do any of the things I suggest, they will most definitely help you deal with recuperation from stress.

Sleep. Make sure you are getting a sufficient amount of hours when you sleep. Sleep deprivation is one of the biggest burdens when trying to work efficiently and without stress. Lack of sleep will cause disfunction in the brain, and may cause additional stress.

Keep hydrated. Don't drink pop or coffee, stick with the natural H2O. Water will hydrate your body, keeping it refreshed and active. It's also been proven that drinking water will reduce stress by replenishing lost fluids.

There are more posts to come about dealing with stress but these are just the basics. I hope you find these tips beneficial.

Good Luck !
