This reminds me of college days, I believe that was first year during a psychology class, the lecturer was teaching about stress management and he stated that one of the best way to relieve stress is through sex. It came as a major bombshell to the class and everyone laughed about it. I actually did look up the information and figured out there’s a bit of true in that, giving that sex releases some feel good hormones like the oxytocin and the endorphins. It also lowers the hormone called the cortisol, which is the main stress hormone. But this isn’t actually a guaranteed way of relieving or managing stress because how effective this method would be depends strongly on the state of your relationship with your partner.

One thing about stress is that you can be overworking yourself and accumulate all the stress you won't feel it till you break down and become ill suddenly that's why you have to always try to balance your work, your thoughts and other things that keeps you so busy from attending to your health, remember to rest when you are having all sorts of enjoyment and when you are sad it is expected that you don't do things that will lead you to overthink and then become so stressed, in all you do learn to prioritize your health over all things you can't be happy when you are sick.

Just as the saying goes " All works without play makes Jack a dull boy", which its not proper for one to keep stressing themselves without having time for themselves by taking a break, take good care of themselves, take a deep breath, exercise and makes themselves happy, knowing that life is just but one, which has no duplicate of it. And finding that balance to rest or relax makes one to be more healthier and happier. So prioritizing self- care is a must, if one wants to ensure they have a good life.

That is, sex itself isn't enough, because love is an important component on this matter. Therefore, this relaxation method is not available for everyone, because it doesn't depend only on themselves and on the available people around them. If there isn't a genuine bond or connection, sex will give a sensation of emptiness in the end, which may be fuel for further anxiety and stress.

It's not easy to manage stress these days. Everyone is seeking for something, but when this thing isn't reached, we inevitably end stressed. I guess it's a situation we have to accept instead of avoiding, because there isn't really how to avoid stress or stressful thoughts.

When you are working and you do not have enough food and hydration, it also causes your stress level to increase. I used to pity some workers who would use their brains and body non stop but will not feed them properly even when they have all the means to do so. Being untruthful and stingy to yourself makes you to stress yourself out even more and could break your body down without you knowing. Health they say is wealth and if you want to remain very healthy you must learn ways to stay hydrated, have a good rest and exercise your body to lose some calories which could have been excess and cause fatigue as a result of stress.

Food and water can indeed cause stress and fatigue, but these may not really be the common causes and eating may not necessarily relieve stress in anyway, it can only rejuvenate your strength and energy but not relieve stress, sometimes what the body needs is actually some exercise and adequate rest. Some can work tirelessly for days without adequate rest. I know of someone who’s a bricklayer, I’d see him working everyday, and then I ask if he ever has a resting day, considering how hard the job is, it requires a lot of time to rest your body before even thinking of continuing again.

However, stress does not only come from negative thinking or overthinking. There are many other causes as well, such as work pressure, illness, financial difficulties, or family conflicts.

Therefore, depending on the cause, there will be different solutions to reduce stress.

Stress isn't always about negative sometimes even the things we are excited about can drain us if we don't manage them carefully, I love the point you gave about balance because that's truly the key. pushing oneself to grow is very important understanding when to go out and rest is just as important if one ignore that it can begin affecting people's health without you even realizing it, finding time to rest or relax really makes a difference in long term investment.

Managing stress has to go along with having an understanding on why we should take rest and also plan for ourselves effectively in everything we do, we can't be claiming to be working without taking some rest, stress we do us nothing good than harm, and that is why we have to consider the time to work as well as the time to take some rest and replenish ourselves, while in some condition, we don't even need to apply stress in what we are doing, instead, wisdom is more profitable when we apply such in place of going through stress.

What you mentioned is stressful, I also often experience it, but if you are a person who is accustomed to good activities such as meditation, exercise and others will make you much calmer in dealing with every problem, you can at least make wise decisions when problems come to you, solve them with emotions that are much more controlled, and that's the function, Meditation, exercise, reading books is not a solution when you are stressed and then do it, it will also give you long-term effects when you are used to doing it.

With the economic situations in many countries where the cost of living is skyrocketing everyday and inflation is devaluing currencies it is quite difficult to avoid stress because taking care of basic needs is always a struggle. Most of the stress that we go through in life are as a result of financial matters, when there is no money on enough of it to take care of our responsibilities it will cause us stress in different areas. Relationships are affected because of insufficient funds to take care of immediate needs in the family, when there is no sufficient funds to pay for healthcare chalanges, when you are in dept you won't be happy.

It is important to control our stress because stressing cannot be a solution to the cause of the stress so being positive minded and doing the best that we can in any situation should give us some level of comfort. When you have done your best in any situation you should leave the rest for the time being, try to give yourself happiness by telling yourself that you have done the best that you can at the moment.

Why is almost everyone in this thread reluctant to talk about having sex?! Is it not a good way to reduce stress from the body?!
Alongside a good sleep and, eating good, lifting weights, going for long walks and also spending time with nature, having a good sex has got to be one of the best ways to manage stress trust me. And about exams,  I dislike late preparations, I lobe to prepare from time, I think it is the reason why I've never had an exam twice.

Don't expect people to bring that up here cause maybe they do not wanna talk about their sex life. You sure know a lot about how to manage stress but the idea of having sex when you are stressed I don't know If I have tried that but I know that taking a long work and going for some exercise has helped me a lot. For exams, early preparation gives you a better result so you don't have to wait before the exam day before getting prepared, study always then go jack the books and make yourself proud with good grades.

Stress is the way your body response to a demanding situation, it is a natural response that enables you to deal with challenging or dangerous situations. It can be good or bad as certain amount of stress can help you to reach your goals or to perform better, eg during an exam, a job interview, or a sporting event. While prolonged, extreme, or chronic stress can harm you as it can change your behavior, including the way you treat others, it can lead to substance abuse and other unhealthy means of coping. It may also lead to depression, burnout, or thoughts of suicide etc

The stress that some of the people are passing through is what is quickly damaging their body, and the only way to manage reduce stress is limit our daily works. Because you can see some people doing a difference works within one day without rest of their body all those little works that some don’t take it anything is what causes them a problem, some from sickness to one critical situation.

We all know that at times we need to pass through stress for us to survive, but with can keep ourselves in a chronic condition that can harm us to damage the entire of our body’s.

When I'm being stressed up, I prefer to take a nap in order to free me from it. Sleep is very good because it reset the memory and freshen your thoughts. If I don't sleep, I go out with my friends to have fun just to free myself from too much stress. Sleep well at night and don't turn your resting time into a time for doing other things that wouldn't add value to your life.

How does that work during a work day? Or are you just allowed to check out and take a nap? Also, even though sleep is essential for healthy mind, it's easier said than done to take naps, when you are so stressed that you can't even relax.

When i was stressed, i didn't get sleep even during the night, and i constantly woke up because i was stressed out about next day and paradoxically about the fact that i couldn't sleep enough. Insomnia often goes hand in hand with stress, and it's not about a choice to relax or to sleep more.
