How to Relieve Stress

Feeling stressed out?  Stress is an emotional and
physical response to pressures from the outside world.
Today, stress seems more pervasive and persistent.
Numerous studies show between 75 - 95% of all visits
to primary care physicians are due to stress related
issues.  Most of us are coping with a great deal of
stress and need to learn how to relieve stress.  Check
these signs of stress against your symptoms of stress,
and see if you need more tranquility in your life.  You
can also try these stress relief tips to help discover
more ways to relieve stress.

For immediate stress relief, try our guided imagery for
relaxation.  Start by traveling through our tranquil cloud
imagery designed to help you relieve stress.  Click the Tranquility Window to the left, and see if the flight

quick stress relief.  Just sit back, focus on the imagery,

What can you do about stress?  First realize that knowing how to relieve stress
is extremely important to your health and well-being, and then begin to focus on
reducing the stress in your life before stress gets the best of you.

You are bombarded with stress on a daily basis.  Stressful news stories on
crime, war, and social struggles.  Even stressful sounds from traffic,
construction, and crowds. Pile on a stressful job and a hectic lifestyle, and you
have plenty of stress.  But just as stressful sights and sounds can induce stress,
you can use soothing sights and sounds to relieve stress.

Most of us are rarely in tranquil environments or even get a chance to notice the
beauty around us.  Remember the old saying, "stop and smell the roses?"  The
true meaning is all about finding peace and tranquility in your life.  Today's
lifestyles are so high-speed, you rarely get a chance to stop and do anything
other than mind-race about your "to-do" list or worry about the things you didn't
get done.  When was the last time you took a moment to gaze at the ocean and
just watch and listen to the waves hit the shore?  It can be a wonderfully
mesmerizing and stress relieving experience.  How about watching an exquisite sunset, or the leaves on a tree blowing in the wind?  These experiences are
natural stress relievers and can provide wonderful moments of tranquility.

When you allow yourself to soak in and appreciate these peaceful moments you
can experience instant stress relief and inner peace.  Try it here.  Try it now.
