Anyone who tells you that you can eliminate all your stress is either lying to you or is just plain wrong. Stress is a natural process your body uses to learn how to deal with life. It can never be stopped but it can be channeled into something manageable. I find that my stress comes from holding in my emotions, not laughing when I see something funny, not crying when I'm sad, or not yelling when I'm angry. Keeping these things bundled up inside can let stress take over your life in a not healthy way. I know of course you can't go around laughing, crying, or yelling. At least not in public, but you can channel your emotion into other forms of release.

If you're angry go hit a punching bag, or channel it into some sport activity like tennis. Anger can be channeled into any physical activity to release it. Just don't use it as an excuse to hit a real person. Anger not channeled can lead to violence.
Laughter can be channeled for later by reliving something in your head that you thought was funny and laughing when you're alone. Save something funny for later.
When you feel like crying, do it. Find a place where you can be alone and cry. There is nothing wrong with it. Crying releases stress and tension in your body it's a way of cleansing your mind.
Holding back and never letting your emotions free lets them build up and then you will find yourself suffering things like panic attacks or other mental illnesses. My advice, be free with your emotions whenever you can, and be honest with yourself and others. By being true to yourself stress is nothing that you can't handle.
In today's world stress has become a dirty word, but it's not really something that's bad. It is a part of everyday life and it always has been. You think people didn't have stress in the past, my guess they probably had more than we have today.
It wasn't easy living back then, they had to struggle everyday to feed, provide shelter. and they fought each other over those resources. Now we got it easy we can go to store to get our food, we don't have to build our own houses, and fighting others doesn't happen everyday. If our ancestors could do it and make it we should be able to.
