best ways of reducing pressure In today's society, we may face some kind of stress and difficulties from work, school or family In order to escape them, people have their own methods Some read, some exercise, and others work in their gardens Personally, I believe that the three best ways to reduce stress are to plan ahead, to have realistic expectations, to maintain a sense of humor The first and foremost reason that I have to put forward is that to escape stress we should plan ahead To illustrate this point, there is an example more persuasive: if we have to take extra responsibilities, we should be careful that these not overload to us Furthermore, we should always include extra time in our plans to deal with emergencies and unexpected development For instance, if we have to drive someone to the airport, we should arrive a few minutes early and could avoid some delay happen on the road In the second place, another chief reason for my view is that we should have realistic expectations For instance, no matter how tempting it may be, we should not allow people to think that we are supermen or superwomen who can handle any or every demand at a moment's notice We should see stressful situations coming, and avoid them in advance by only agreeing to what we can accomplish easily within the time we have available Finally, we should maintain a sense of humor For instance, we should be able to laugh when our plan go wrong, since laughter is an antidote to stress Moreover, we should laugh at our problems in front of others, to relieve tension and encourage them To sum up, given the reasons discussed above, to escape stress we should plan ahead, and always have time for unexpected Moreover, w should have realistic expectations, and not try to solve every problem for others Finally, we should maintain a sense of humor and laugh when we face some problems I believe that these are the three best ways to reduce stress
