Stress Management Contest
In our everyday life, we often run into stress events ranging from deadlines at work, traffic jams and dealing with uncooperative people. Life events such as a new baby, a death of a loved one or moving can add even more pressure.
Unmanaged stress can lead to high blood pressure, ulcers and even heart attacks. Often times we cannot control the events that lead to stress, but we can control our response to it.
For this month’s contest, we want to know your advice on how to deal with the stressful events – big or small.

Like Happy Gilmore, I do best when I go to my “happy place.” I recall having oral surgery as a teenager and focusing on ice cream and daisies (really!) to avoid feeling the dentist tugging at my mouth. My other happy place is the quiet field where I met Jesus — a grassy opening in a forest that exists in my mind’s eye.

ways to beat stress – walk at least a mile a day. In addition, I make a list either the night before or first thing in the morning pertaining to the things I want to get ddone that day. Believe it or not, my list always has a little more than I can get done so that I have soemthing that I can add to the next day. I always make one item on the list very attainable so accomplihment comes first and easy.

I surround myself with happy people. People that look at the bright side of things. When a situation arises that has tension I find the funny things about it and laugh a lot. Don’t spend time with miserable people! Life is too short not to enjoy but the other side of that coin life is way to long to spend miserable.

Apply the Byron Katie four step method: Judge your neighbor, Write it Down, Ask four questions, Turn it Around. It works like a charm.
It uses the inquiry method to ask if your thoughts are really true. It is our thoughts about reality, often false images, and
expectations that cause the stressful response, rather than the reality of the situation itself.
Comment by Lois Lynn — July 1, 2010 @ 9:50 am
I try to focus on one thing at a time and work it through to completion. I also involve myself in hobbies for “me” time, ie: volunteering at a local antique theatre, sports, gardening.
Comment by MELISSA SALAZAR — July 1, 2010 @ 9:51 am
I try to remember what my mother always says. “99% of what we worry about never happens”. I try to live for today, and take responsibility for my own actions and destiney. And I remember that I can only control myself and no one else.
Comment by Chris — July 1, 2010 @ 10:08 am
To effectively manage stress in my life, I find that simply realizing that there are many things in life that I cannot control. When I am faced with moments in which I feel stress is “knocking at the door”, I will remind myself that I was not able control all matters of the situation. However, and probably more importantly; I remind myself that I most likely was able to control a portion of the situation and will then ask myself two key questions:
1. In this situation, what did I say or do that was correct or approximately correct?
2. If this situation repeated itself, what would I do the same or differently?
I find that self-realization of what I can and cannot control helps me out. And of course, simply finding a good book to read at the end of the day (read at least one chapter) is a nice way to end the day.
Comment by Paul Thomas — July 1, 2010 @ 10:13 am
Worrying & Stressing is simply wasting time today thinking about things you probably can’t control
tomorrow. Forget about it! Wake up early, run/exercise alone and start your day. Youre mind and
body will be ready.
Comment by Brad — July 1, 2010 @ 10:21 am
I reduce stress by praying and reading the Bible. I also find that surrendering my life to Jesus Christ has given me great strength and hope in times of high stress. He said that I will not add a day to my life by worrying. He is right, I will actually reduce my life expectancy if I worry or stress out!
Another thing I do is pretend that I am in a grand production called “life” and that everything going on around me is basically a play in which I am a character. Stressful situations definitely make for interesting theater, so I have to look at them like a good drama.
Comment by Jeff Johnson — July 1, 2010 @ 10:34 am
I prioritize. Make a list of things that absolutely has to get done and in what order of importance. If I need help, I ask for it. And the best thing I do for helping me destress is making time for myself to work out.
Comment by Eve — July 1, 2010 @ 10:40 am
I get away from the source of the stress as soon as possible and get some fresh air. Take a hike, walk around the block or even just point my face to the sun. (When it peaks out of course!)
Comment by Darcy — July 1, 2010 @ 10:43 am
I do one of two things to reduce or remove stress from my daily life. If things get really bad I leave my office do a couple laps around the building and get a cup of water before heading back to my office. If things are just a little stressful I turn my attention away from the computer and focus on maintaining one of the plants in my office. Whether I am pruning away excess branches, misting the leaves or watering the plant it always seems as if the stress melts away. My favorite office plant is the “Dwarf Umbrella Tree”
Comment by John Olson — July 1, 2010 @ 10:46 am
For me, it’s taking a nice deep breath and focusing on something that makes me happy…the thought can transform you, it’s powerful…If i need an extra boost I will plan a time for that activity…. the anticipation of doing something you love,(for me it’s fresh flowers,lighting a candle and creating a canvas painting),can carry you through a real tough time.

I ride my motorcycle through the garden like roads of Connecticut on my time off. It makes me forget about everything else because you have to concentrate. The scenery is very relaxing. A lot of it is like flying through a green tunnel made by the cannopy of the trees.
I go for a walk on the beach.

The best way I relieve stress is by looking for things in my life to be thankful for and by finding things to look forward too.
Comment by Laurie Burke — July 1, 2010 @ 11:30 am
The best way I found to manage stress is to be proactive. Understand the upcoming events that cause stress and pre-plan for stress management – e.g. schedule a massage, some me time, or time with family or friends, the day after the stressful event completes. This provides me something to look forward to and the sense of control because I am being pro-active in management of stress.
Comment by Kim Miles — July 1, 2010 @ 11:30 am
1) I exercise
2) If I’m really overwhelmed and upset I attack the mundane. I clean the house, go through my desk, keep the laundry going, and answer e-mails. I find when I do this that after “the storm” passes I have organization around me and I’m able to put 100% of my efforts into the problem at hand. The time spent doing the mundane allows me to think about the issues as well and I always find I come up with some creative solutions.
3) Compartmentalize: If I overlap things it becomes one large traffic jam. I chart things out on an accounting sheet into three columns 1) in 10 minutes 2) in one month 3) in 5 years. I can see what effort is needed for each issue and plan accordingly.
Comment by Stephanie Mitchell — July 1, 2010 @ 11:36 am
I PRAY! i have a prayer that helps me get started in the morning and I also use the serenity prayer throughout.
Aromatherapy is something I am also starting to use and that works great. I keep a little bottle of essential oils close by at my desk and bed.
I also try to Meditation in the mornings allong with my prayer.

If at first you don’t breathe…then BREATHE….B R E A T H E again! That is good while in the office but the 6am group workouts are my treat to start the day, and mentally punch out stress causers…great group therapy!
Comment by Christine — July 1, 2010 @ 11:42 am
I handle stress in my life by following advice from the book “See You At The Top”. The advice provided was to stop reacting to situations; begin responding to them. If you react, the situation is in charge of you, but, if you respond, you take control of the situation. It may be difficult to break the habit of reacting; however, I found that when I took charge (responded), I eliminated 90 percent of the bad stress in my life. Naturally, I do not want to eliminate the good stress because that is what makes me happiest.

YOGA! Twice a week minimum- a time to breath and relax.
Comment by Michael Caruso — July 1, 2010 @ 11:46 am
We’ve been through financial stress, business stress, stress from health issues and family problems; but the biggest stress was our son going to prison as the result of drugs and related problems. Prison is a dangerous place, and we knew his life was constantly in danger there. This caused a snowball effect with the other stresses on our lives.
While we were doing everything we could to help him, there were some things that we just had to put in God’s hands. We decided then to “lose ourselves in service to others” and kept ourselves busy helping other people. This took our minds off our own troubles and brought us the joy of service.
Comment by Debbie — July 1, 2010 @ 12:02 pm
I first ask myself, “Will this matter in a year from now?”
Then I try to remember back a year from today. What was I stressed over, can I remember?
If it is something big, I ask, “OK God, what am I going to learn from this? How can this make me a better person?”
Then I put on my walking shoes, and move on.

Comment by Bryan Pore — July 1, 2010 @ 12:41 pm
I think that Stress is something that you do not manage, but can only choose which stressors you will allow into your life.
Sometimes others will give you their problems (monkeys) and you, as a typical manager assume thier monkey…….until the end of the day, they go home monkey free and you sit in your office doing all the monkey’s work!
Managing stress, is choosing when to accept the monkey, or when to leave it with the person who already owns the monkey… since you already have at least one of yours.
Comment by Manuel Couto — July 1, 2010 @ 12:48 pm
Great QUOTE from Mark Twain. “I have lived through many disturbing times in my life and most of them never happened” Keep it in mind the next time stress/anxiety comes calling.
Comment by Martin Collins — July 1, 2010 @ 1:05 pm
In order to minimize the stess in my life, I spend a lot of time at the gym. On really rough days I enjoy a good, intense kickboxing class. Completely takes my mind off things, at least for that 60 minutes. I walk away feeling recharged. Average days, step class is fantastic because it gets me to focus on the steps I need to take in order to prevent falling in front of 40 other people in the class. Good distraction! On most days that are normal but always have the lingering “to do’s” resting on my shoulders, yoga or a neighborhood walk with my dog does the trick. Get a pet! The unconditional love they bring you when you walk in the door is amazing and powerful!

Stress Management – contradiction in words – I relieve stress by walking on lunch hour – in the woods, by the shore or just around town looking into the store windows. Anything to get away from the phones, customers & people I work with all demanding my attention. A good long walk does wonders for the psychie.
Comment by Katherine Booth — July 1, 2010 @ 3:35 pm
When I feel the pressures of the times, I stop and prayerfully reflect on the good things that have happened in the past few months. That gives the body and mind a new start. Everything hapens for a reason, and we can make all of them work to our advantage. I used to be an electrician and plumber, so when opportunity knocks to help someone less fortunate, I help them and I forget about everything.
Comment by Sam Chalk — July 1, 2010 @ 3:46 pm
We are al familiar with guidelines given by our MD and other professional advisers, friends, books, nutritionist, exercise and eight hours of sleep each night. This is all well and good but when you are in the middle of the storm you forget all that good advise. Case and point you are driving in heavy traffic and someboby cuts in front of you leaving very close room for error, I dont care if you are praying at that moment, you get get a case of road rage that last for at least 30 seconds and then you come to your senses again. Or you you wake up in the middle of the night sweeting like you just came out of the shower, scare to death of your thoughts. No matter what you do, stress is one of the hardest feelings to conquer. In my opinion economic stress outside of been in the middle of a battlefield in Afganistan is the most difficult situation to cope in the western world.
I recomend that a person have a converasation with their maker at least two times a day for at least five minutes. Find a quited place to put your thought together and this will provide the confidence, inner piece that its need it to handle every phone call, every interview, each child, your boss, a creditor, the list is endless. I strongly recomend a book written by Norman Vincent Peale a great preacher from New York back in 1951 “The Power of Positive Thinking” great stuff. Another book with tremendous impact for Christians is a book written 400 years ago by Tomas Kempis a German monk wrote this little book titled
“Imitation of Christ”
I guaranteed that if you read a few pages each day from any of these two books you will fuel your mind with the power to handle any type of stress you come up each day. Good luck to everyone!

At the office stress;Breathing and counting to 3 and slow exhale along with pacing while on phone and when I get home the hottest bath tolerable and Yoga. If I have the kind of stress that makes me fell frustrated then cardio! Walk or run hills to get the endorphins pumping:)
Comment by Renee' Gourlie-Moore — July 1, 2010 @ 7:21 pm
Financial crisis and a breakup!
The best way to get through: BIKRAM YOGA – the room is heated to 105F and for 90 minutes your mind is focused on ’surviving’the class. It is all mind over matter and you must focus on the postures you are doing otherwise you can’t balance. It is a 90 minute holiday for the mind and an exceptional workout for the body. It breaks the pattern of stressful thoughts and impulses and hands back control of your mind to back yourself!
Comment by Andre — July 1, 2010 @ 7:44 pm
I have built a retreat in my mind. Waterfall, huge flat rock, hammock and very comfortable lounge chair. I count 50 steps (backward) to reach the retreat. When I get there I lay on the rock and feel for warm sun, swing in the hammock or kick back in the lounge chair. The counting slows my mind and the rest is just pure relaxation. The best part is the sound of the water fall and the warm sun. This is considered self hypnosis and I have been doing this for a long time. You need at last 15 min. to make this work. If I can’t go to sleep this is a sure sleeping pill for me. Quiet music helps if you can be alone. But, just close your eyes and picture the scean and you can feel the tension roll off. Good Luck!
Comment by Barbara Fischer — July 1, 2010 @ 7:50 pm
When I am feeling overly stressed at work, I stop, take a couple of slow, deep breaths. Then I play a 3 minute video I have on youtube my wife made for Fathers Day last year. It is a collage of photos with a favorite song that seems to help me relax and ease the stress. If things are really bad, I watch it twice!
Comment by Steve Lang — July 1, 2010 @ 8:01 pm
Hi there,
Some of my ways to relieve stress are to take a time out… and be in nature. I live by Thanksgiving Point, so I will take a walk through the gardens, or a drive up Provo canyon. I also have found that massage works wonders. I have a daughter that is a massage therapist and she does a great job but for a less expensive route… you can go to the “School of Massage Therapy” either in Lindon just off State Street and about 2000 N or Salt Lake also has a school… you can go in on Sat for only $25 for an hour… they start at 7:00 am and go throughout the day. I also have a Reiki at least monthly… only $60 and a great investment… if you have never had one, you owe yourself. Having a peticure or a facial is also a great stress reliever!
Thanks for entering me in your drawing!

Comment by Danette Suker — July 1, 2010 @ 8:04 pm
My stress is triggered by events in my life that may or may not be real or in the present. I can be stressed out by something in my past or future real or unreal – think physical / mental / emotional. But it is my stress and I have full ownership. So how do I cope with stress:
1) Don’t blame someone else or pin it on an event – boss / wife / kids / work / money / whatever / economy / politics
2) Try to stay in the present – don’t deny the stress , it is what it is – denial will only give it more life
3) Random acts of kindness – stress makes us so full of ourselves – start giving back / sharing / mentoring
4) Prayer and Meditation – an exercise for the mind and spirit
5) Physical exercise / yoga –
So, I have tried all of the above and even drugs and alcohol aren’t working. Put your wounded ego on the shelf and ask yourself if being stressed our makes you feel important or alive or helps with self recognition? Seek out help.
Comment by John Misch — July 2, 2010 @ 7:22 am
All the comments I read are great advice but as I see it every situation is different and sometimes one idea helps and sometimes another idea but in my experience the core of relieving my stress is I’m a dreamer and I’m always dreaming how something will turn out better that gives me courage to continue and faith is what gives me the power of dreaming
All the best to all of you

My grandmother never raised her voice in her entire 94 years of life. The last 6 months of her life she had cancer of the brain stem. My grandmother and my father really did not get along that well. When my grandmother had to move in with my parents for medical reasons, I noticed that she was always walking around with a huge 32oz red plastic cup of M&Ms. One day I asked her: “Grandmama I thought that chocolate covered cherries were your favorite. I did not know that you liked M&Ms so well.” Her response was: “They are and I don’t.” That really confused me so I asked her why she was always walking around popping M&Ms in her mouth since she had moved in with my parents. Her response was: “Honey, you can’t fuss, fight and argue with a mouthful of chocolate, and M&Ms are small and unobtrusive.” I think of her story and that helps me to laugh and removes some of my stress. My grandmother was 100% correct. You just don’t feel like fussing, fighting and arguing with a mouthful of chocolate.
Comment by Joy Vann — July 2, 2010 @ 8:21 am
When I begin to get stressed it is because I am in a state where I have a wrong goal or a diminished perception of who I am (start doubting if I am good enough). If my goal is to make money for the day it is a wrong goal. My goal should be to first seek God and do the activities necessary be a successful, God honoring professional because that is what I can control. I can’t control the outcome but I can influence it. Also, daily I root myself in the truths of scripture and claim God’s promises that He will provide for my NEEDS. Psalm 37:3-7, Proverbs 3:5-6, Philippians 4:19, Hebrews 11:6, Matthew 6:19-34, Romans 4:13 & 19, Colossians 3:23, Prov 14:23.
Comment by Mike Page — July 2, 2010 @ 8:50 am
1. Exercise – fresh air and an invigorating 3-4 mile walk every day. If I walk alone, I work out some of the issues from the day as I exercise. If I walk with a friend, I walk with people who are good counselors – who will not simply ramp me up but will listen and help me problem solve rather than just allow me to complain.
2. Eating well – I operate so much better when I am eating light, piling on vegetables and limiting sugar.
3. Alcohol – eliminate it or limit it to a glass of wine or two on the weekend. During stressful times, alcohol only makes me tired and emotional which reduces coping skills.
4. Good counsel – I have great friends who help build me up and encourage me rather than let me wallow in stress or problems.
5. Glass half full – a positive outlook will take you a long way in your day – even when stress is high.

Yoga helps calm my mind and release stress. Eating healthy and avoiding caffeine helps keep emotions steady. Being outdoors in nature really helps me relax and appreciate God’s beautiful design. Prayer helps me focus on what’s really important. Planning and being organized does wonders for preventing stress in the first place. Music – listening (and singing along sometimes) takes you to a different place.
Comment by Michelle Kooi — July 5, 2010 @ 7:59 am
The number one thing I like to do is TALK about what is bothering me. I either talk it over with my spouse or with a co-worker or friend who has some understanding of the matter. Typically I find that when talking it over, I either come to a solution, have one offered to me or find I am not the only one dealing with the issue(s) and it makes me feel better knowing that I am not alone on the issue.
Comment by Travis Ownby — July 5, 2010 @ 1:09 pm
I take a “power nap” by lying down on the couch or sit in a chair and do diaphrammatic (belly) breathing through my nose (and mentally focusing on my breathing while doing this). I do it during the inevitable afternoon slump, and within 20 minutes (usually) I am awake, refreshed and ready to go on with my day. It takes practice, and the most difficult thing is just doing it, but is works extremely well.

Many years ago I overcame agoraphobia with the help of a very good therapist who taught me self-hypnosis. I have used self-hypnosis, meditation and walking to overcome stress ever since. I still have stress, but the tools I’ve learned over the years help immensely.
Comment by Roberta Kayne — July 8, 2010 @ 9:09 am
Near the end of the day I sit down and ask myself if there is anything that is left undone that I can accomplish by the end of business for that day. I prioritize those items and begin the tasks that I think need attention immediately. Those things that I can not accomplish by the end of the day are put on a list for the my attention for the next day. Once I have established that I have done all that is possible for that day, I can leave my office with a clear conscience knowing that I will attack the undone items the next morning. I don’t have to think about what I need to do or remember because I have thought through itemized those items for my future attention. Now I can enjoy my evening activities without reservation.

After finding out in August 2008 that I had breast cancer I learned quickly not to sweat the small stuff. If I couldn’t change it, then I didn’t let it get to me. If I could change whatever was stressing me out, then I would work on it.
Comment by Laura Stoy — July 8, 2010 @ 12:21 pm
Two very wise people gave me advice at different times in my life when I was super-stressed: one said, “Stay in the day,” which helps me to not look back at “shoulda’s” nor forward at “what-if’s”, and the other told me I had incredible power–too choose. “You are choosing to be stressed, and instead, you can choose to be un-stressed.” The minute you choose the latter, you begin to think more clearly and then can plan a strategy to deal with the stressors.
Comment by Sharon Esterly — July 8, 2010 @ 12:48 pm
Stress like life is a journey. My stress comes and goes throughout my life. Just like any athlete plans for there next event, I plan for stress (regardless of what it might be) and know that it will happen, thus I am prepared just like the athlete is prepared for their event. Preparation is the key to anything we undertake or endure in our life. Above and beyond this, a prayer to the Lord is also a key part of my preparation .

When I’m stressed I try to do various things, such as, remaining active, by walking, running or biking. Find a spot whether it’s in your home or somewhere else where you can have complete silence to reflect on all the good things in life and how fortunate you really are. Last but not least talking with close friends who can help to keep you centered and make you laugh.
Comment by Martha Graber — July 9, 2010 @ 7:43 am
I look at things that cause stress as opportunities and challenges. These opportunities and challenges are the puzzles that makes each day unique so I look forward to them. The sadder or scarier a situation is the more opportunity I get to live up to my expectations of myself and excel. We have no control over the things that happen that cause stress in our lives but we have 100% control about we react.

Comment by Fred McKeithen — July 12, 2010 @ 9:18 pm
To releive my stress I do something I love to do – Crafting. Somehow working with my hand to create something unique (usually to give away to someone) is very relaxing and rewarding. Often I will take a few hour on a weekend and pull together a few gift items, such as laminated book marks or custom note card sets using flowers I’ve dried myself or various jewerly pieces. I keep these items on hand for whenever I need a small gift unexpectedly. I love to be able to give the hostess of, say a last minute picnic or dinner party, one my handmade creations. The simple act of giving is a big part of the stress relief in and of it’s self!
So my advise is to KEEP ON CRAFTING – It will be a blessing to both you the creator and gifter, and to those that received your creations as well!
