You will find out about the three essential things that most people don't know about stress.

Respiration

Correct breathing is part of any deep relaxation technique such as meditation and yoga. Timely delivery of oxygen to the brain can help you achieve deep zen like state.

Exhale deeply right before a stressful moment, it will relieve the upcoming stress quickly and effectively. When exhaling try to let out most of the air from your lungs, once lungs become "empty" quickly inhale a bit of air. This breathing out causes a mini cell suffocation which provokes a feeling of well being.

Positive is always better than the negative

If you're faced with a violent video, look away! If you can listen to some classical music. Please do! Make it a rule of thumb, anything good comes before bad.

Children are known for being light hearted and positive. Why, do you think that is so? Simple answer is that they are yet to see all the negative things around them. Ignorance is a bliss, so choose positive over negative.

Looking from a different angle

Say you come back from a long day at the office and notice that nobody greets you when you come back home. One person may assume that it's because nobody loves him/her any more. Yet, for someone else it might indicate that the other person is exhausted or sick too tired to be cheerful. What would you think? People are free to assume good as they are to assume the bad.

Sometimes you need to challenge your beliefs and assume something is good rather than bad. It will put things into perspective and it's something which is often needed in our hectic lives. A good example is the royal tradition called the "3 moons", it consisted of waiting 3 days before confronting someone after a disagreement took place.

It was believed that only after 3 days can we look at things differently. If it worked for kings and queens I think it can work for us as well.
