Nobody in their right mind would try to convince you that we live in a
stress-free world. While it is true that men and women both are subjected
to stress, it seems that women tend to have a harder time dealing with it.
It used to be conventional wisdom that men had more stress than women, but
ask any woman and you will find out that simply isn't true. In some ways,
women are at a disadvantage when it comes to dealing with stress, but that
doesn't have to be the case.

For one thing, a lot of women are mothers and have full time jobs as well.
In a perfect world, men and women would share all of the household
responsibilities equally, but study after study has shown that women do
much more of the work around the home, and that's even if they work outside
of the home.

Several techniques are available that can help women start relieving stress.
Here are some of the most effective methods for reducing stress.

Stress Relief Tip #1: Use the magic word. What is the magic word? The word is
'no'. That's right! Perhaps there is an inborn need women have to take care
of things, or maybe it has been thrust upon them by society. Either way, they
often find it hard to say no. While this isn't always a problem if it doesn't
get too far out of hand, it can add to your stress if you start ignoring
yourself. Besides, if you really want to help others, then doesn't it make
sense that you should be as free from stress as possible?

Stress Relief Tip #2: Go for a walk. Or, participate in any form of exercise.
Walking, swimming, dancing, hiking, going for a bike ride, or any other
activity will help you in several ways. It will give you time to clear your mind.
It can also help you to blow off steam in a constructive manner. See, society
generally says that women can express happiness and cry once in a while, but not
show their anger. That doesn't mean you should never get mad, but rather that
exercise is a healthy outlet to get rid of some of the anger that can lead to
stress. Of course, the fact that exercise will also make you healthier is just
icing on the cake.

Stress Relief Tip #3: Treat yourself. You have to take some time to do good
things for yourself, to do the things you enjoy. You don't have to forget
everybody else, but be sure to remember you too. Don't just promise yourself that
you will do something nice when you have the time. Instead, schedule time for
yourself every day, or every week. And don't feel guilty about it either; you've
earned it. You will feel better, and the people around you will notice an
improvement as your stress starts to melt away.
