Often stress will manifest when we carry yesterday's worries into today's worries. An accumulation will almost always result in a high level of stress. Therefore, we need to be able to "dump" all of our worries from the previous day or days and focus completely on our today.
Stress Busting Tip #1
Decide right now to let go of every thought from yesterday and focus only on the now....just this thought...this breath...this moment. Take three very deep breaths and slowly release each one.
At the same time, feel each and every worry, each and every problem, each and every unresolved moment begin to dissolve. You can deal with them later. For now, just be in this moment.
Now go to your inner still place. Go deep inside to a place where you feel you are at peace and then just relax and breathe deeply and enjoy the feeling of being at one with yourself and at peace.
Use this special time and place to be still. Clear your mind and body of all worries, all regrets, all disappointments, all anger and sadness.
Stress Busting Tip #2
Next, think of a specific action, such as rocking your baby, taking a short walk, raking 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 stillness every day and you will find that you accomplish so much more. At the first sign of stress, go back to that mindful, calm place and start over again until you have reached your inner place of calm.
Stress Busting Tip #3
The very best thing you can do for yourself is to eat, drink and rest - for your health!
Stress is easily caused by not eating and drinking properly. If you're not getting the number of hours of sleep you need each night, you're just setting yourself up for more stress.
Limit the amount of salt, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol in your diet. Drink plenty of clean, pure water every day and get at least moderate exercise every day. This will revitalize your skin and hair and nourish all your vital organs.
Take time to breathe properly! Take deep belly breaths to send pure oxygen throughout your body. Laugh and laugh some more. It is food for the soul! Spend time doing the things you enjoy most. Engage in healthy and fulfilling relationships and work on issues that would undermine the closeness you have with someone special.
When we are content and living a balanced life, the stresses of everyday life seem to pale in comparison. We are better equipped to deal with the unexpected.
You can take control today! Isolate just one particular stressor in your life and work on it until you regain control. At the very least, have some new hope!
