I have always been stressed out. I can't remember a time when I wasn't a stressed person actually. I do however know some strategies to help relieve stress. Here are 10 of my favorite was to relieve stress.

1. Meditate/ Yoga- Take some time to relax and breathe. These exercises often make me feel super relaxed and ready to take on the world. Yoga can also be fun with friends.

2. Write- Writing helps you express yourself. Often times keeping a journal and writing about your day can help relieve some stress. It helps you reflect on everything going on in your life.

3. Having a Hobby- Doing something you enjoy often takes your mind off of whatever you are stressed about. You are more focused on what you're doing than what you were stressed about in the first place.

4. Only Think of the Present- Don't think about the past or the future. Think about right now and what you're doing. Stay calm; you can't change the past and the future is still yet to come.

5. Spend Time with Friends- Your friends are there to help guide you through the fun times and the tough times. If they are your true friends they will help you get through your stress. Being with people often takes your mind off of stress too.

6. Talk to Somebody- Getting your feelings out in the open often makes the stress feel less if not completely gone. The person you are talking to can just listen or they may give you advice on what they would do.

7. Watch Something Funny- Often times watching something funny will help you when you're stressed.Laughter is the best medicine after all.

8. Listen to Music- Music can instantly change your mood in a few seconds. Listen to your favorite upbeat song and you'll be up dancing in no time.

9.Exercise- Moving around will often get your heart going which will most likely cause your mind to stop thinking about anything other than working out.
