Stress is one of the most underestimated killers of our time.
You'd think with all these events, Products and other things that we have that stress would be a thing of the past. But It isn't.
Stress can cause so many issues we wouldn't even be aware of.
Here are some tips to help reduce the amount of stress you are dealing with.
Go Running
You don't' even have to run if you hate running. Go for a walk. Go swimming, Play a sport. Do whatever it is physically that you enjoy doing.
So many people these days spend all day sitting around, and they don't exercise. It's causing problems. Having that constant rush of endorphins will allow you to improve your mood and health.

Listen
We all like to talk. Have you tried listening? Listen to everything, The sounds of birds chirping, the coworkers around you.
Not only will this help improve your relationships overall, Because many people don't' have good listening skills these days. But it will also reduce stress because you'll focus on something else for a moment.
Color
Coloring is a fun and creative way to reduce your stress. Don't be afraid to pick up an adult coloring book and start coloring! Sure it sounds a bit childish. But it's really fun. It also allows people to get creative, who maybe don't know how to draw.

Go Out In Nature
I love going for hikes, Or just walking around and enjoying nature. We take so much of it for granted. We live on such a beautiful planet that can be enjoyed. Take a few minutes of fresh air.
Conclusion #
You don't have to Do anything crazy special when you're stressed. And addressing the issue will allow you to move on from what stressed you out, And allow you to make necessary corrections. Stress can be healthy in small doses, But too much can harm your health.

Good to see a new photo of you, it is a lovely photo and you look great in it! :)
I agree with not realising how much more you need to pay because of having a job. My little brother does powder coating and his clothes need washing everyday, he needs a decent shower to get it all off him and more.
If the job pays decently though, you can usually come back on top, depending what expenses in your country really are though.

Hi @kaylinart, Most of the people in the world are stressed out because they are living someone else's life. Life for most of us is not easy. This is true. Majority of the people in the world are alive just to earn the living so that they could feed their families. Loving one's family is beautiful. However, in this whole process, majority of the humans fails to follow their passions. To live a life doing something that doesn't require any incentive or money as reward.Simething that they can do everyday without getting bored. Something that is a gift of nature and can be used to serve the wold in that very specific walk of life.
I think those who live the life of their passions are happiest people.
Just my humble opinion. Guide me if I am wrong.
Excellent post.
Steem On!
Exercise is always #1 for me. Inevitably, when I start to feel especially depressed, I realize I haven't gone for a run in a few days.
I think I get into the same problem as you do, though - running too much and then having an injury. It's taken me over a year to get back to 10K endurance after a pulled tendon. I think the secret is to do a little bit every day, rather than a whole bunch all at once.
Otherwise exercise turns into a drug like any other, and the possibility of overdose is too real!
