{{OMG250}}<h3>Dealing with Stress</h3>
<p>
In today’s busy world, it is essential that we learn how to manage and handle stress 
effectively, so that our health isn’t negatively impacted. We have to handle stress even at 
an early age, so it is important that we learn effective stress management methods, the 
sooner the better. There are many methods out there that can be used to help you deal 
with and manage stress; you will have to try them on your own, to see just what works 
the best for you. 
</p><p>
One thing that you should learn in your quest for stress management is that not everyone 
in the world will be nice to you, and that sometimes people will say things that will anger 
you, just because they can. You can either allow those words to get you all worked up 
and stressed out, or you can choose to ignore them, realizing that they are only an 
expression of someone’s opinion, which only matters if you choose to let it. If someone 
tries to urge you into a conflict with them, simply ignore them, walk away, or let them 
know in no uncertain terms that you will not fight or argue with them, and go on about 
your business. You can’t let your life be ran or influenced by the opinions of others.
</p><p>
Don’t dwell on things that have happened in the past. If you had a bad childhood, learn to 
admit it, then go on with your life. Vengeance, anger, and hate can often lead you down a 
dangerous path, one that can definitely ruin your life, if you choose to let it. Why should 
you stress over something that has already happened and that you have no control over? 
If you are going to stress about something, shouldn’t it be about something that is 
currently an issue in your life, something that you might actually be able to do something 
about? Look at the big picture, and ask yourself if there is anything to be gained by your 
stressing about the situation and if you can’t come up with anything, let it go!
</p><p>
If you have negative thoughts or feelings, don’t dwell on them; instead try to find a way 
to turn them into a positive expression. Don’t see your glass half-empty; look at it as half-
full instead. Being pessimistic won’t get you anywhere in life, other than stressed out, 
and definitely won’t give you the motivation that you need to succeed.
</p><p>
Don’t over schedule your life so that you feel as though you don’t even have time for 
yourself, as this will only create more stress for you to have to deal with. Take time out 
once in a while to do something you want to do, rather than the things that you feel you 
have to do. 
</p><p>
If you have friends or family members who always dwell on the negative aspects of life, 
try to limit the amount of time that you spend with them. Their way of thinking could 
potentially contaminate your positive outlook as well, which again, will get you nowhere 
fast. If you can’t convince them the benefits of being positive, then maybe you should 
look for other people to hang out with.
