I started working out, participating in team sports, self-development (reading more, education), mentoring, and focusing on improving my most important relationships and my career development.<br /><br />Much of this can be learned and the Army has invested a lot of resources in equipping Soldiers with the tools to manage stress in everyday life, not just in combat. Resilience techniques are very researched and can help manage and mitigate stressors. <br /><br />The tools you can use to handle stress vary based on what the stressor is. Sometimes simple reframing can help for workplace irritants others it takes counseling and peer assistance for traumatic events that have lingering stress attributes.Response by CSM William Everroad made Apr 17 at 2024 12:37 PM2024-04-17T12:37:44-04:002024-04-17T12:37:44-04:00SP5 Dennis Loberger8729569<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have 2 things I remember that I developed a long time ago when I was in high school. One, I remind myself that I should worry only about those things that are going to appear on my tombstone. Two, concern mobilizes, worry paralyzes.Response by SP5 Dennis Loberger made Apr 17 at 2024 1:42 PM2024-04-17T13:42:59-04:002024-04-17T13:42:59-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member8730196<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It may sound flippant, but I use the phrase I don't care quite often.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 18 at 2024 7:50 AM2024-04-18T07:50:11-04:002024-04-18T07:50:11-04:00GySgt Jack Wallace8730504<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>PT.....and for me it was talking to my wife.

Pick weeds, dig up rocks, mow the grass, trim bushes, etc. For more long term stress... I honestly don't know. I just kind of strap in and gut through it. Its not the best solution but I'm open to new ideas!Response by SSG Carlos Madden made Apr 19 at 2024 11:59 AM2024-04-19T11:59:08-04:002024-04-19T11:59:08-04:00SP5 John Hien8736092<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I’m stressed out every day. It’s probably one of the reasons I don’t sleep. I handle it by simply accepting it because there’s nothing I can do about it. I’ve attended counseling sessions that turned out to be worthless. One session was with several Vietnam veterans. All they did was complain about the VA. At the last session I attended I told them if they didn’t like the VA, they were free to wherever they wanted to. Ins another counseling group, the social worker heading up the group told us that if we wanted to overcome depression, watch John Wayne movies. I think this guy was full of sh*t.Response by SP5 John Hien made Apr 24 at 2024 7:09 PM2024-04-24T19:09:16-04:002024-04-24T19:09:16-04:00CPT Private RallyPoint Member8797393<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is a tough one. It seems that the older you get the more stress you have. I would say to find a way to value the stress you have. By that, I mean find purpose in what you are doing that is creating the stress. If you are a Team Leader you should find your job to be an important one that should cause stress. When you unwind at the end of the day you should tell yourself you did the best you did the best you could. After that you really can't change anything else you have done. All you can do is to focus on how you can prepare for what's next.Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 27 at 2024 1:25 PM2024-06-27T13:25:42-04:002024-06-27T13:25:42-04:00PV2 Private RallyPoint Member8845412<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The helpful staff at is always available to assist you in finding the ideal ensemble, and the regular specials and discounts make it affordable to upgrade your wardrobe.Response by PV2 Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 17 at 2024 5:12 PM2024-08-17T17:12:28-04:002024-08-17T17:12:28-04:00SSG Robert Perrotto8952846<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I totally get the struggle of handling stress, and I’ve also gone through cycles of relying on distractions that didn’t actually help in the long run.Response by SSG Robert Perrotto made Feb 26 at 2025 4:38 AM2025-02-26T04:38:03-05:002025-02-26T04:38:03-05:00SGT Lorenzo Nieto8953363<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I ask god to help me get through it.Response by SGT Lorenzo Nieto made Feb 27 at 2025 6:52 AM2025-02-27T06:52:06-05:002025-02-27T06:52:06-05:00Sgt Archie Horton8954715<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Recently, I’ve been exploring natural ways to support mental clarity, and I came across <a target="_blank" href="https://goodfridaywellness.com/shop/capsules/elevate-psilocybin-nootropic/">https://goodfridaywellness.com/shop/capsules/elevate-psilocybin-nootropic/</a><br />Their products are geared toward emotional well-being, and some of their blends have been really helpful for staying balanced. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
