How do you handle your stress

Accept life as it is. Remember kids are kids and they will be in a way they want to. Do yoga, meditation when you get time. Go for a walk with kids. Be happy with what you have. You will get more as time approaches. Continue to cry as you have been doing. But do it silently not in the presence of kids. You are setting an example to the kids. Don't smoke/drink in the presence of kids. We will get more ideas from our friends.

Oh that's so sad & very strange that you cry for a minute & get back to work. You feel so stressful because you do lot of things at a time without any breaks, this causes tiredness & you run out of your enery. First priortize your work & act acsordingly. Instead of doing a bulk activity at once, split it into pieces then you feel less stressed. Manging two kids is really a tough job. If you are unable to manage them, keep a servant maid, that will be of some help for you.

i try and do stuff for just me like watch a movie or work in my craft room. i have teens and health issues so there is lots of stress so i always try and do something just for myself to help me relax.

Hi there, I am so sorry to hear that... well, you can take a time off from your usual routine by going out with your friends. have some coffee and try to enjoy your moments with them... when I am feeling stressed, I usually go out and do some shopping... i consider shopping as one of my temporary remedies to stress... it helps to forget all my worries for a while... when i have enough budget, i go to an out-of-town trip with my partner or we go to places we have never been before... :) have a good day!

Try to get as much rest as you can. A lot of people say meditation works against stress so you might wanna take a look at that. Although for me, sleeping is enough.

I can truly understand how it is to be a housewife and a mother to 2 kids. From what you have narrated i can say that you are truly stressed. Maybe you need to prioritize your chores at home. You can do the most needed chores first while the others could be done, once the kids are asleep. You have to manage your time and learn how to prioritize, lest you will get stressed wanting to have them done all the same time.

I am so sorry to hear that you feel sad and close to the breaking point. I suggest a walk in the countryside or the coastline to breathe in some fresh air and get some lovely views. I know in the evening once the kids are asleep reading a wonderful book would take you out of your world to another for a couple of hours. Maybe you could plan a happy day out with your kids. Good luck.

I have learned to use the 'Four Fold Breathing technique', if you are not sure about this look it up on line. First you need a couple of minutes alone. You breathe in for a count of ten, hold your breath for a count of ten, release for a count of ten and then repeat. You do need a comfortable place to do this and away from distractions. It is important that you are not struggling to do this, a count of five works just as well. The important part is concentrating on holding your breath for a comfortable time and counting mentally. You will find doing this that extraneous thoughts will distract you. Just say to yourself that you will deal with these later and restart your counting. You will also notice that you become much calmer and more relaxed. Grounded is the word I would use. Could you let me know if this works for you?

Hi Baby girl: Don't worry, actually being a mother is a really hard job. When I feel that I am too stress I just try to escape. I stop doing for a while what I have to do until I feel relaxed again. In the mean time I try to do something that makes me feel in peace, something that is not relate to my work just to forget these problems. I play some games or just go to sleep for ten minutes. A peaceful activity should helps. ALVARO

I handle my stress by creating an organizer and set time for everything including relaxation time. I set at least 30-60 minutes of having time to myself where I either meditate or do some stretches. Because after I relax, I feel this huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I feel refreshed and that gives me the strength to continue with my work.
