How do you deal with your stress and anger? Do you keep your monster hidden? Women have been groomed to be lady like. We’ve been taught to hold things in and take care of our family and home. Suck it up! Pray about it or just forget it. We’re the backbone, the care givers, we make it work. Who has time to think about the stress or anger that we’re feeling, right?

We go to bed exhausted, thrive on a few hours of sleep and get up the next morning and do it all over again. It leads to stress and more stress.

Parenting and managing a home are huge responsibilities. It gets the best of us at times and we should feel no shame.
Here are a few tips on how I deal with stress and anger:
Exercise – Walking or hitting the treadmill is a great way to work off stress and anger. A walk through the neighborhood, park or your apartment complex is good.
Remove yourself from people and situations that are not healthy – You know who and what I’m talking about. Lets face it, some people can be toxic. They complain all day and all night. There’s no happiness within and there never will be. Run as fast as you can in the opposite direction.
Accept that you can’t help everybody – There are many people in need, unfortunately we can’t help them all. I’ve learned that the world is full of people who are down on their luck, but there are also people who don’t want to help themselves. They would rather have others work and take care of them. Place your focus on you and your family.
Get proper rest – I’ve found that I don’t need as much sleep as I used to. Imagine that. I used to need at least 8 hours, but I can function on 6 or 7 now. I need that extra hour to blog!
Find a hobby – Spend a few hours a week working on it your hobby. I unplug and turn to scrapbooking, gardening or reading a magazine or book. I also enjoy playing games on-line.
Discuss your feelings – Share your feelings with the person you’re angry with or discuss it with your husband, significant other or a girlfriend. Don’t ignore your stress or anger. Talk about it and leave it on the table. Sometimes just having someone to listen is all we need.
Finally, what techniques do you use to de-stress or release anger or frustration? Most importantly, we hope that you will incorporate our tips into your life.
