Just what is stress anyway????
- Gain understanding of what causes you stress and how it affects you personally.
- Ask and answer: What is keeping me from doing what will bring ease to my stress?
- Use what you learn to manage your stress by answering: what can I or am I willing to do about it?
- Breathe to relax and say as you breathe…”I breathe in…I smile. I breathe out I release.”
- Sit. Allow yourself time just to sit without thinking of what there is to do or going undone
- Sleep…a deep restorative sleep
- Rest at the end of the day allows you to calm down and get perspective on stressful issues. Sleep will prepare you for the next day…emotionally balanced and full of energy.
- Ask and answer: am I eating in response to my stress?
- Laugh for the joy of it. Cry. Don’t hold back your need for tearful release
- Watch your pace are you moving to your own personal rhythm
- Communication. Notice how you to others and how you allow others to talk back to you. Learn to say YES or NO. Pay attention to how you talk to yourself. What kinds of things are you telling yourself?
- Grace. Notice the lack of drama that comes as you let others do for themselves. Gratefulness: Be grateful. Don’t take yourself for granted and allow others to take you for granted either.
- Relax. Don’t take it or make it so serious. See both sides of it.
