These 15 Celebs Have Great And Unusual Ways Of Dealing With Stress
According to The American Institute of Stress, about 33% of people report feeling extreme stress, 77% of people experience stress that affects their physical health, 73% have stress that impacts their mental health, and almost half of the people in the US have trouble sleeping because of stress.
Stress can be a useful tool for raising energy and focus at times. The majority of the time, though, stress is a negative factor in a person's life that causes a slew of undesirable consequences.
Because stress is a practically universal human emotion, anybody can benefit from understanding more about it. A person might begin to combat the consequences of stress by realizing how ubiquitous and dangerous it is.
What are the main stress causes? Well, in today's world, it's hard to find a thing that's not causing stress.
Low incomes, high expenses, student loans, fear for the future… the list is so long. Celebs are stressed out too, you know.
Most of us would think that they are just exaggerating – they are rich and famous, what could they be stressing about? The truth is that all of us have problems; they are just different for certain people.
Being a celeb doesn't make you worry-free. Here is what they do to make the stress go away:

"I try and read every single day. It grounds me and makes me feel in control, I also feel like pleasure reading everyday keeps your brain active and your body calm, I also drink at least half my body weight in ounces of water every day. Staying hydrated is such a must and I genuinely feel better when my body is fully hydrated."This actress also enjoys going on walks with her dog "keep my body in motion And being outside in the fresh air always makes me feel better. When I'm having a particularly difficult time waking up, I'll go for an early frigid walk with my puppy Emmy, and it sets such a positive, enthusiastic tone for the remainder of the day."

One of the essential aspects of the actor's treatment of his longtime battle with anxiety is speaking openly about it to inspire others to do the same.
"One of the reasons I overschedule myself is my lifelong pal, anxiety, I know I'm not alone and more importantly, to all those like me who overschedule, overthink, overwork, over-worry and over-everything, please know you're not alone. We don't talk enough about mental health and don't do enough to destigmatize talking about it. But, as with this post, better later than never, I hope..."

"I realized that when I was working out, I didn't have any anxiety, It was never about losing weight. I thought, If I can make my body physically strong, and I can feel that and see that, then maybe one day I can make my emotions and my mind physically strong."

12. Jennifer Lopez
Despite her busy life, the actress takes time to do transcendental meditation for 20 minutes every morning and night.
"It was necessary. It was almost like my brain, for the first time in my life, felt like 'Okay, you bit off more than you can chew, It's a whole rounded regimen that deals with your mind, your soul, your spirit, and your body. It's working out, it's dancing, it's meditating. And then, at the end of the day, just being happy, being with my kids, and feeling the love and the joy that they give me. All of that helps balance it out, so work doesn't feel so crazy."

Your community—no matter who it is—can help you find balance! Don't expect yourself to be a superhuman! It's just not possible. Or fun, for that matter!"
