According to The American Institute of Stress, about 33% of people report feeling extreme stress, 77% of people experience stress that affects their physical health, 73% have stress that impacts their mental health, and almost half of the people in the US have trouble sleeping because of stress.

Stress can be a useful tool for raising energy and focus at times. The majority of the time, though, stress is a negative factor in a person's life that causes a slew of undesirable consequences.

Because stress is a practically universal human emotion, anybody can benefit from understanding more about it. A person might begin to combat the consequences of stress by realizing how ubiquitous and dangerous it is.

What are the main stress causes? Well, in today's world, it's hard to find a thing that's not causing stress.

Low incomes, high expenses, student loans, fear for the future… the list is so long. Celebs are stressed out too, you know.

Most of us would think that they are just exaggerating – they are rich and famous, what could they be stressing about? The truth is that all of us have problems; they are just different for certain people.

Being a celeb doesn't make you worry-free. Here is what they do to make the stress go away:

1. Candace Cameron Bure

"It's so important to walk away from texts, emails and social media and be present throughout our day," Reading her bible, staying active, and putting down her phone are three things the queen of Hallmark Christmas movies tries to do daily to keep her stress at bay.

2. Lana Condor

"I try and read every single day. It grounds me and makes me feel in control, I also feel like pleasure reading everyday keeps your brain active and your body calm, I also drink at least half my body weight in ounces of water every day. Staying hydrated is such a must and I genuinely feel better when my body is fully hydrated."

This actress also enjoys going on walks with her dog "keep my body in motion And being outside in the fresh air always makes me feel better. When I'm having a particularly difficult time waking up, I'll go for an early frigid walk with my puppy Emmy, and it sets such a positive, enthusiastic tone for the remainder of the day."

3. Jennifer Aniston

Some anxiety-relieving techniques the Friends star uses include meditation and journaling, which she says is "a letdown" if she doesn't get to do each morning.

4. Ryan Reynolds

One of the essential aspects of the actor's treatment of his longtime battle with anxiety is speaking openly about it to inspire others to do the same.

"One of the reasons I overschedule myself is my lifelong pal, anxiety, I know I'm not alone and more importantly, to all those like me who overschedule, overthink, overwork, over-worry and over-everything, please know you're not alone. We don't talk enough about mental health and don't do enough to destigmatize talking about it.

But, as with this post, better later than never, I hope..."

5. Adele

In a recent interview with Vogue, the "Easy on Me" singer confessed that her 100-pound weight loss was an unintended side effect of her go-to stress-reduction method.

"I realized that when I was working out, I didn't have any anxiety, It was never about losing weight. I thought, If I can make my body physically strong, and I can feel that and see that, then maybe one day I can make my emotions and my mind physically strong."

6. Zendaya

Zendaya revealed her favorite stress-relieving habit, admitting that she has a "coloring station" in her house.

"In my house we all find it quite therapeutic, It helps me with stress."

7. Justin Bieber

The singer posted a photo of his grandmother on Instagram with advice on dealing with an anxiety attack.

"Find five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell and one thing you can taste. This is called grounding.

It can help when you feel like you have lost all control of your surroundings."

8. Lauren Conrad

"I started spending time gardening, I feel like I am being productive, but I am able to clear my mind and get some fresh air."

The fashion designer also enjoys "taking a bath and unwinding at the end of the day with our soaking salts from my nonprofit fair trade shop, The Little Market. Each soaking salt supports young moms in under-resourced communities of Chicago."

9. Lo Bosworth

The host of the I Love Wellness podcast said " I learned how to make friends with my anxiety and get outside of myself when I'm feeling anxious."

10. Angelina Jolie

She uses meditation to calm, but not in the traditional way.

"I find meditation in sitting on the floor with the kids coloring for an hour, or going on the trampoline."

11. Michael B. Jordan

After filming on 2018's Black Panther ended, Jordan said that he'd needed professional counseling to heal from his role as Erik Killmonger, the film's villain.

"Seeing a therapist, just helped me out a lot. As a man you get a lot of slack for it...I don't really subscribe to that. Everyone needs to unpack and talk."

12. Jennifer Lopez

Despite her busy life, the actress takes time to do transcendental meditation for 20 minutes every morning and night.

"It was necessary. It was almost like my brain, for the first time in my life, felt like 'Okay, you bit off more than you can chew, It's a whole rounded regimen that deals with your mind, your soul, your spirit, and your body.

It's working out, it's dancing, it's meditating. And then, at the end of the day, just being happy, being with my kids, and feeling the love and the joy that they give me. All of that helps balance it out, so work doesn't feel so crazy."

13. Kate Hudson

"We all put so much pressure on ourselves, and this pandemic has been an extraordinary, challenging time for self-care. My no. 1 tip right now is to rely on others when you need it.

Your community—no matter who it is—can help you find balance! Don't expect yourself to be a superhuman! It's just not possible. Or fun, for that matter!"

14. Chris Hemsworth

Even superheroes suffer from anxiety, and the Thor star has spoken up about his mental health issues.

"When you're constantly self-analyzing, it's ultimately a selfish endeavor. It was about looking a little deeper and asking, 'What is this fear based on? What is it trying to tell me?' And analyzing that."

Hemsworth says confronting his problems head-on helped him conquer them.

15. Janel Parrish

The Pretty Little Liars star shared her most fantastic self-care tip:

"Be kind to yourself. It sounds so simple, but it's actually pretty hard if you're feeling down or anxious. Be patient with yourself and trust in your strength when things are hard."

Celebs are always in the spotlight, and that can cause stress. Not all of them are extroverts, which is quite surprising.

After all, they’ve chosen careers that draw attention. However, many of them did it because they like to sing and act, not because they wanted to be public figures. However, those two go together…
