One great way to relieve stress is to find something to do that brings you peace, joy, happiness, or any combination of those. This may seem like an easy task, but it is much harder than some might think. For many people, enjoyment of anything can lead to feelings of guilt or anxiety. The best thing to keep in mind, if you are one of the unlucky who feel guilt or anxiety over doing something fun or enjoyable for yourself, is that there is nothing wrong with taking some time for you to do something that you like to do. Yes, there are people who take this a bit too far and go to the other extreme where they spend too much time on pleasing themselves which can lead to actual neglect for other important things in life. It is important to have a little discipline and moderation with anything.
There are other types of people who are so busy that it seems hard for them to justify the personal time out for a small piece of personal enjoyment. It is important to remember again that stress is unhealthy. Less stress means better health. Better health means better life. Taking a little time for yourself is highly important in the pursuit of a better life.
