Feeling stressed out? Stress is an emotional and physical response to pressures from the outside world. Today, stress seems more pervasive and persistent. Numerous studies show between 75 - 95% of all visits to primary care physicians are due to stress related issues. Most of us are coping with a
great deal of stress and need to learn how to relieve stress. Check these signs of stress against your symptoms of stress, and see if you need more tranquility in your life. You can also try these stress relief tips to help discover more ways to relieve stress.

For immediate stress relief, try our guided imagery for relaxation. Start by traveling through our tranquil cloud imagery designed to help you relieve stress. Click the Tranquility Window to the left, and see if the flight helps you experience a few moments of peace and quick stress relief.

First realize that knowing how to relieve stress is extremely important to your health and well-being, and then begin to focus on reducing the stress in your life before stress gets the best of you.

You are bombarded with stress on a daily basis. Stressful news stories on crime, war, and social struggles. Even stressful sounds from traffic, construction, and
crowds. Pile on a stressful job and a hectic lifestyle, and you have plenty of stress. But just as stressful sights and sounds can induce stress, you can use soothing
sights and sounds to relieve stress.

Most of us are rarely in tranquil environments or even get a chance to notice the beauty around us. Remember the old saying, "stop and smell the roses?" The
true meaning is all about finding peace and tranquility in your life. Today's lifestyles are so high-speed, you rarely get a chance to stop and do anything other
than mind-race about your "to-do" list or worry about the things you didn't get done. When was the last time you took a moment to gaze at the ocean and just
watch and listen to the waves hit the shore? It can be a wonderfully mesmerizing and stress relieving experience. How about watching an exquisite sunset, or the
leaves on a tree blowing in the wind? These experiences are natural stress relievers and can provide wonderful moments of tranquility.

When you allow yourself to soak in and appreciate these peaceful moments you can experience instant stress relief and inner peace. Try it here. Try it now. Concentrate, mediate or just daydream while watching the video clips in the upper right hand corner of every page here on Tranquility is Yours until you begin to feel relaxed. These videos are extremely helpful meditation tools for reducing stress and can be very effective for quick stress relief. Just sit in a relaxing position,
focus on the imagery, breathe slowly in and out through your nose, and be wiling to let your stress go.

Quick Relief Stress. Breathe, Smile, Visualize, Evaluate, Fight.

Take a deep breath. This is your first, most immediate defense against stress. If you can get in the habit of pausing and taking a nice, deep breath every time you feel stress beginning to take hold, you'll have won half the battle just by preventing it from taking over. The other half is won by addressing the causes of your stress.

Communicate. Whether you talk to a friend or talk to your cat, getting it off your chest will help a lot. If you don't feel like talking about it, write it down. Keep a journal and write down whatever it is that's bothering you. Writing is a therapy of its own.

Laugh. Rediscover your sense of humor by making fun of your situation. View it from your future self's perspective, telling this story to a bunch of your friends over pizza and soda. Crack some jokes. Do your goofiest impression. Tickle a child that you love. Laughter, whether it's yours or someone else's, is the best medicine--and it's contagious!

Get fit. Perhaps your health and appearance are stressing you out, but even if they're not an issue, being physically fit can directly help relieve stress, which exists on both a mental and a physical level. Sometimes there's nothing like a long run, an intense yoga session, or a fresh swim after a stressful day to help you feel relaxed and stress-free again. Also, exercise releases endorphins; a feel good hormone. Chocolate releases endorphins as well (just only in moderation)!

Be organized. For the most part, stress arises from feeling overwhelmed. There's just too much to do, and not enough time to do it. Being organized and getting your priorities straight can help you break responsibilities down into manageable pieces and focus on the things that really matter to you, rather than getting caught up in details and creating extra work for yourself--all of which leads to more stress.

Soothe the senses. Light a scented candle that has a calming fragrance like lavender. Listen to your favorite, most relaxing music or, better yet, go somewhere that you can listen to wind rustle through trees or waves crash on the beach. Enjoy the scenery, whether you're outdoors or viewing an art exhibit. Drink some warm tea or taste--really taste--some dark chocolate. Treat yourself by getting a massage or, if you want to be alone, take a bath (bubbles are recommended).
