Arguing with anyone is not good in any situation and it does not matter who started it. You will feel the result of it and that is called stress. However, there are some things that we can do to reduce stress when we have been involved in this unfortunate situation.
I highly recommend prayer because we can find comfort and answers in the word of God so it always good to start there. If we started the disagreement we can always ask for forgiveness and get restored. We would not want negative thoughts to rule our senses so prayer will help to eliminate those thoughts.
A brisk walk will help to reduce stress but it will not help if we reminisce on the argument so instead of doing that, enjoy the scenery, it will soothe our mind. We can take a walk in the park where there are trees, grass and flowers, these things can work wonders for our morale.
Reading a good book will also help to de-stress because we can get involved in the story as we are reading. We should make sure that the book that we choose is non violent because if it is a violent novel, our stress level can increase and we do not want that to happen.
We can watch a non violent movie on television, preferably a comedy because it can make us laugh and laughter is a very good stress reducer. In fact, the bible says that laughter works like a medicine. Laughter is free, easy to do and it works.
We could de-stress by listening to soft soothing music. It is very relaxing to our soul so if we would get some place quite and listen to some soft music not only will our soul get refreshed but tension in our body will leave as well.
Playing with Children can help reduce stress. They are enjoyable and they can say and do some funny things, which are what we might need at that moment. I do not recommend trying to get them to do what we want to do because it might start another argument, just play along with them; getting involved in what they are doing. It will take our mind off our problem.
Most of us know that exercise reduces stress so do not omit it if you happen to get involved in an argument, just make sure that the exercise is a relaxing one. Stretching muscles works because it helps to remove tension and sets of ten stretches is best.
A massage helps to de-stress if we can get one. A masseur or masseuse can reach places on our body that we might not be able to reach and they certainly have the right techniques to use that would reduce stress.
Finally sleep or rest can be an asset to us if we are able to control our thoughts. It would defeat our purpose if we would allow our thoughts to run rampage while we are trying to rest. We would need to be able clear our mind of the incident in order for rest to be effective so stress can be reduced.
