16 Steps to reduce stress
"We have to be the changes we want to see in the world".
Mahatma Gandhi
- Make a list of stress triggers and learn how to recognize them. Consciously try to recognize them and learn to relax in these situations.
- Always be careful to be cheerful.
- When feeling stressed try to relax by slowing down the thoughts, breathe in peace..... breathe out stress.
- Take regular breaks from work if working at home
- Reduce tension by allowing the self more leisure time. Become more active by going for walks or take up a hobby or getting involved in a sport.
- Reduce meat products and reduce the intake of refined foods such as refined sugar and white breads. Eating fruits and vegetables is good for the mind, body and the environment.
- Talk soft sweet and less, avoid gossiping and criticizing others.
- Learn to enjoy your own company by talking positively to the self, I am a wonderful person, I can change my self and make my life a success.
- Choose cheerful and optimistic friends who will help you think positively, avoid people who are always angry and criticizing others.
- Always strive to improve the self, blaming others for your troubles is like arguing with the person in your bathroom mirror.
- If being overweight creates stress try to consider that your body is simply the vehicle of your soul. Your body may not be a sleek "Porsche" but it does get you from A to B. Considering the self separate from the body will reduce the stress of being overweight and enable you to adopt a more positive outlook.
- Remember you can do what ever you wish if you have a benevolent attitude.
- Treat yourself regularly, have a massage, try yoga, mediation, aromatherapy or any alternative therapy.
- If there has been a ongoing medical problem seek a second opinion form another Doctor or arrange a visit to a specialist.
- Seek help with any mental problem that persists, visit a counselor, psychologist, hypnotherapist or ring a psychic.
- Be positive, light and happy: think it and you will become.
