How do we deal with stress

@Meowmy

I'm someone who doesn't deal with stress very well. I know we all have stress though. I recently had major surgery and part of my journey moving forward- is learning better ways to cope and handle stress. For me its learning new skills and knowledge so that I can better manage my life and therefore have better quality of life. I will be more at peace and built better relationships. What steps do you think would help you- I think action is the key. I know we don't have control over everything, but the things we do we can make changes. For the first time I am able to say no to people because I always put others first and if I was to help this person it would have been stressful and energy draining for me. I hope this helps..

@Meowmy I was glad to get your message. I find the forum, a supportive and caring environment. Its a great place were we can help each other and build healthy relationships. Hope you had a great day.

@oceangirl thanks for post. I think for strong intense stress, may be try to break it down into smaller portions. So to slowly resolve each component.
