Thank goodness for workouts. I don’t know about you guys, but working out is a great stress reliever for me and lately, that’s exactly what I needed. All the tests, studying, and social activities are finally getting to me. Last night I had a lot of energy with no outlet to anything other than studying so I decided to go work out and release some anxiety and tension. It wasn’t a hard workout, it was just normal. I ran a mile and then lifted to do a total body routine. It was fabulous and that stress energy I had was gone until I get slammed with more work to do, but I’m a lot happier when I work out on a regular basis.
Working out is my way of relieving stress when life gets a little overwhelming, but there are others to help you cope. Try to identify things in your life that cause stress like work, driving, or your significant other. Knowing the source can help you balance it out with positive things in your life. Don’t be afraid to share your feelings and set yourself up for personal success to beat the stress problems.
Here are some tips to boost your body and mind while dealing with stress.

Here are some tips to boost your body and mind while dealing with stress.
Adopt a healthy lifestyle
-Exercise regularly. Physical activity plays a key role in reducing and preventing the effects of stress. Make time for at least 30 minutes of exercise, three times per week. Nothing beats aerobic exercise for releasing pent-up stress and tension.
-Eat a healthy diet. Well-nourished bodies are better prepared to cope with stress, so be mindful of what you eat. Start your day right with breakfast, and keep your energy up and your mind clear with balanced, nutritious meals throughout the day.
-Reduce caffeine and sugar. The temporary "highs" caffeine and sugar provide often end in with a crash in mood and energy. By reducing the amount of coffee, soft drinks, chocolate, and sugar snacks in your diet, you’ll feel more relaxed and you’ll sleep better.
-Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. Self-medicating with alcohol or drugs may provide an easy escape from stress, but the relief is only temporary. Don’t avoid or mask the issue at hand; deal with problems head on and with a clear mind.
-Get enough sleep. Adequate sleep fuels your mind, as well as your body. Feeling tired will increase your stress because it may cause you to think irrationally
