In a technology-driven, fast-paced modern world, how many of us have been able to make ourselves immune from the disastrous effects of stress? Not too many, I guess. Even those who disagree to this, there must be atleast one incidence in 2012 where the situation got the better of you and the end result was; stress. Whether it is your boss, family, pets, children, relatives, business or your loved one, stress comes in various shapes, sizes and quantities too.
The question that arises is how do you deal with this stress? How do you handle it and most importantly, how do you relax? Here are four things you can do in 2013 to beat stress and have a good time:
Take a trip to the nearest Theme Park
Visiting a Theme Park is the best way to have fun and beat the blues away. A theme park actually distracts your mind and takes it away from the stressful thought and releases mood enhancing chemicals into the system. One of the best examples is the Universal Studios in California, USA. Check out the pics.

Take up an Interest
By interest, I do not mean just a hobby or fun activity. The interest is a hobby but with a higher degree of dedication attached to it. An interest should enable you to pursue it even after returning from work or on weekends. An activity in which you have gained sufficient knowledge, proficiency and love for it, that's what you're looking for. Take out some time to contemplate on what interests you and once you find start doing it religiously. It will make a lot of difference to your current stress levels as well as your stress-handling capabilities.
Listen to Music
Music has been known to pacify giants, animals and other creatures, since the advent of time. Pick up music which is soothing to the ears and which has certain positive vibrations. For starters, you could try the classic collections of Mozart, Beethoven & Tchaikovsky.
Take a Nap
A nap always refreshes and rejuvenates the mind. Sleep offers a different perspective to your problems which have been giving you stress in the day time. This is due to the fact that even in sleep, our minds are at work. So, by the time you wake up, you realize that the mind has actually figured a solution to handle stress, on its own. However, you have to be careful not to oversleep. Check out how much sleep is too much.
