No worries, mate.

There are so many people out there (me included) who are, for whatever reason, stressed out to the max nowadays... So here are some tips which have always worked for me:

1) smoke and drink lots of alcohol
KIDDING! actually i don't think that doing these will help. maybe as a temporary distraction, but won't solve anything in the long run.

2) get enough sleep and meditate
no point in getting cranky when you're already stressed out. don't you agree.

3) eat properly and exercise
i should take my own advice LOL no more burger king for me.

4) play or listen to music
it takes me to another world completely...


5) pray
actually this should be on top of the list. when you can, pray... and talk to God.

6) avoid negative people
this includes backstabbers, drama queens, people with max low self-esteem, people who make you feel like crap... do what i do. just walk away.

7) surround yourself with family and good friends
they understand you the most. you need a network of support where you can drown all your sorrows and keep them where they belong - the pit.

8) travel alone
save enough dough to do this. you get to discover new places, meet new people and more importantly, you discover yourself.

9) emerse yourself in activities that make you feel good
be it painting, blogging, riding your motorbike, or just plain watching DVDs in the comfort of your own home... do things that make you happy. you need time off from stressful surroundings and annoying people...

10) spoil yourself
look after yourself... no one has the right to stress you out, unless u let it...

11) start appreciating what you already have
switch on CNN and i'd say you're LYING if u tell me that the world isn't so farked up. we are blessed to be alive and kickin'.

12) clean up your mess and get organised
im referring to your life. and your work. pay those outstanding bills, clean the messy attic, declutter your desk (declutter? LOL). the more organised you are, the more in control you feel over your life.

try these... and if they dont work, i'll knock some senses into you with punching gloves. LOL!
