Tips on helping others deal with stress?

If you know someone is under lots of stress from very few things, how can you help them?

I want to help someone who gets stressed by very small things, just day to day activities, nothing more than that. Rather than relaxing and staying calm they are stressed.

The one time they are relaxed is when they are sent to a brother or sister's house for time alone. Also, they don't really get out much other than for day to day activities, as in, not much for entertainment unless the rest of the group goes.
 
Try breathing exercises. Close your eyes, look up as if you're looking up into a 3rd eye in the middle of your forehead. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and exhale through your mouth. Just knowing I'm in control of a situation is enough to relieve my stress sometimes.

Some sort of meditation will help alot.
 
i feel bad for them. thats just the way some people are... not very good at handling stress. I am like that, in a lot of ways. I do do many things, but when i do get stressed, i over-react and make my husband miserable.

What i would suggest is for them to promise themselves whenever they feel stressed, stop what they are doing, close their eyes and consentrate on their breathing. count their breathes for a few minutes and make them make a mantra to say to themselves to calm them down. It could be anything really... "i am calm" or "i am in control of my own life"
and, have them take a hot bath or shower with just candle light every night. it will relax them as well/
Also, i know its difficult, but try to be supportive as much as possible.
 
Thanks lolzwiz and lightweight, they already do meditation and sometimes it seems like it helps, however lately I'm not so sure it is anymore. I'm going to reccomend taking some art classes or something and just getting outside the house more for enjoyment
