my usual stresser is the bills and the only way I can stop the stress is to sit with a pen and paper and come up with a solution, I can’t get my mind off it until it is done

I like the forget one to forget for now and remind for later on. I haven’t tried this but I think I will it makes sense to me.

I find the best way to deal with stress on the spot is to remove myself from the situation (if possible!) Walking away from a potentially volatile situation helps me refocus and with that comes calm. Regrouping my thoughts and shining some prospective on the issue at hand can quickly diffuse the stress before it takes hold.

Absolutely right what you say, mom 176887. Different situations ask for different reactions. And it also depends on the people we are dealing with. We can’t react the same way towards kids or adults for example.
But yes, keeping calm is not always easy!!

Great tips. I especially like taking deep breaths to calm down.

There are so many different types of stress for me .. from running late, to being bullied on the roads by aggressive drivers; from being misunderstood by the the kids, to being made to wait an hour in queues (where you’re told that it will be a few minutes); getting sick, etc. etc. etc….Different types of stress need different actions to combat. From time out and getting away from everyone, to counting to 10 before saying anything. Probably the main thread running through them all is PERSPECTIVE; and gaining a bigger picture view of all that is bothering.

I find myself quite bitter and jealous of people who have breakdowns. Its just not an option for me no matter how badly I need it.
