In analysis of myself, I feel as though I handle stress very well beyond an extent. By this I mean that, the more stress I have I can typically get more accomplished than if it is just a slightly nagging situation because it pushes me to relinquish this stress.
I handle stress differently depending upon the situation, however. If the situation involves school work, I will typically make lists of things I have to get done and then further go on to organize these into a time table of when I will work on each item. So, pertaining to school work organization is my stress reliever. If the stress is the source of a falling apart friendship or family disagreement, it is much harder to handle because it takes an emotional toll. To handle this sort of stress, I typically take on a more seniority role and become very formal in the way I talk to people, but at the same time trying to ignore the tension which occurs through contact with these sort of people.
To reduce stress and be healthier, I believe exercising and eating right is the answer for helping yourself feel better. It won't help the problem go away, but it will make you feel more whole and prepared to take on any challenge. Exercise has been proven to release hormones into your body, actually relieving your stress. And when you eat better, you begin to see a physical change in yourself, whether it be weight loss or just being more fit and toned. When you are pleased with your body image, it is one less stressor you need to worry about and you become a more enjoyable person to be around.
