Hey my friend,

 

If you were looking for a magic lamp that guaranteed you would never experience stress again, I’m afraid it doesn’t exist.

 

Stress is normal.

 

We all experience it at times.

 

But rather than constantly trying to avoid it, what if we could experience at times and EVERYTHING WOULD IT OKAY?

 

What if we could handle it?

 

What if it was okay to experience stress at times and we could cope with it?

Oftentimes stress will manifest when we carry over yesterday’s concerns into our present-day concerns.

 

And an accumulation of all those concerns unexplored will almost always end up in a high stress level – once again totally normal.

 

However we need to work out a way to be able to “dump” all of our concerns from the previous day or days and concentrate wholly on our today.

So here are 3 stress busting tips

STRESS COPING STRATEGY

Stress Busting 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, I want you to be only in this very moment.

 

It’s fine here right?

 

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.

Stress Busting 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.

 

This means that you become aware of the connection between our physical and mental 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.

 

Do your best to 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.

 

How do these changes make you feel?

 

Is it easier to cope better with stress when you are feeling physically at your best?

 

Healthy habits will breathe new life into your skin, hair and will nourish all of your vital organs.

 

So do your best to take time to breathe properly too.

 

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.

 

Love you.

 

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.

 

When we do these things, we are better equipped to deal with the unexpected.

 

You can take control today.

 

Yes you can (I promise, baby step at a time!)

 

Do your best to isolate only one particular stressor in your life and then work on it until you regain control.

 

At the very least, have some practice learning this new skill with coping with any stress that comes your way.
