3 TIPS TO HELP MANAGE EVERYDAY STRESS

Often at times stress will manifest when we carry over
yesterday’s concerns into our present day concerns can
accumulation will almost always end up in a high stress
level.

Therefore, we must be able to “dump” all of our
concerns from the previous day or days and concentrate
wholly on our today with that in mind here are a couple
of tips to help destress.

Busting Stress Tip 1

Resolve right now to release every thought from yesterday
and be only mindful of the now…. this thought only...this
breath...this moment. Take in three very deep breaths and
slowly release each one.

At the same time feel each and every concern, each and
every problem, and each and every unresolved moment, begin
to dissolve. You can deal with them at a later time. For
now, you are only to be in this very moment.

Now go to your inner quiet place. Go deep inside to a place
where you feel that you are at peace and then just relax
and breathe in deeply and enjoy the feeling of being at one
and at peace within yourself.

Use this special time and place to be calm. Free your mind
and body of all worry, all regret, all disappointment, all
anger and grief.

Busting Stress Tip 2

Next, think of one particular act, such as rocking your
baby, taking a quick stroll, raking the leaves, and do that
one simple thing. All the while, your mind is quiet and
calm and you are in your own special place within.

Practice this act of quiet and calm each day and you will
see that you will accomplish so much more. At the first
sign of being stressed, go back to this mindful, quiet
place and start all over again until you have reached your
inner place of calm.

Stress Busting Tip 3

The very best thing that you can do for yourself is to eat,
drink and rest to your health!

Stress is easily brought on by not eating and drinking
properly. When you don’t get the number of hours of sleep
that you need each night, you are only setting yourself up
for additional stress.

Limit the amount of salt, sugar, caffeine and alcohol in
your diet. Drink plenty of clean, pure water each day and
do at least moderate exercise each day. This will breathe
new life into your skin, hair and will nourish all of your
vital organs.

Take time to breathe properly! Take deep belly breathes to
send pure oxygen to all of your body.

Laugh and then laugh some more. It is food for the soul!
Spend time doing the things that please you most. Engage in
healthy and fulfilling relationships and work on problems
that would erode the closeness that you have with someone
special.

When we are content and living a balanced life everyday
stresses seem to pale in comparison. We are better equipped
to deal with the unexpected.
