Three Easy Ways To
Eliminate Stress Forever
By: Heather Quetzel
Stress has gotten a bad rap lately. It's difficult to watch
TV, or read the paper without being exposed to society's perception
of stress, which is negative. Stress has been blamed for health
issues ranging from asthma to heart disease.
Realistically, stress is a "good" thing, and like
anything else, the human body can only be exposed to it in
moderation. Certain types of stress can be inspiring and can
motivate people. It can create new opportunities for learning.
Actually, creating a new outcome, just like in nature. For
example, it's the stress of heat, pressure, and time which
turns coal into a diamond.
The hustle and bustle of an environment affects chemicals
in our bodies, which help us to rise to the occasion, and
help us by becoming more effective and productive. The challenge
arises when the "hustle and bustle" becomes a way
of life. When our body is exposed to these chemicals constantly
over a period of time, our physical structure can actually
become harmed, ultimately affecting both our physical, emotional
and mental health. Having pressure in your life will not kill
you. The problem is when there is no time allowed for relaxing,
and getting away from a stressful situation.
The solution is learning to take time-out to care for yourself.
Taking a break from life's daily pressures can help you to
be happier, healthier and endly, more productive.
Eliminate all should's, and have to's from your life. That
may seem impossible and yet, looking at everything on your
"To Do List" and really determining what is it that
you will have...if you do this particular item. If your energy
does not shift upward when imagining the outcome, cross it
off. If the reason for doing it, is to avoid some "negative
outcome", re-evaluate the things to which you are committing.
In other words, the most important question you can ask yourself
to destress your life is, "Does this activity really
serve and/ or support me to BE happy?" And then, check
in with your feelings.
Another great, evaluating question is, "What is really
important at this moment?" And look at your desires.
In other words, what is it that you want to have (happen),
as a result of taking this action?
One more example of relieving pressure is, instead of allowing
others to dictate how you spend your time, practice making
your own decisions and actually, designing your day. Taking
these new actions, step by step and one day at a time, you
will create a new life.
