33 Destress Activities That Work
Once you have reached a level of stress where you can no longer control your emotions you need to learn how to bring yourself back down naturally. Sometimes stress is a good thing because it makes you want to get things done for example a deadline at work.
In another instance our daily lives can be causing us to much stress and that puts extra weight on all our internal organs. Many times people can be so stressed it kills them. Nothing in this world is to much for our god to handle so put it in his hands and you work on de escalating your body.
You see in this life things will go your way and then they wont and when they don't you have to be able to move on to plan b and just let plan a go. Some people are so used to getting their way when they don't they lack problem solving skills and take their own precious life.
