Ways To Overcome Your Stress! Part 3
Filed Under Stress
Stress is a major problem right now. I have given you 20 tips so far on how to overcome your stress. Today I will give you another 10. I hope you are enjoying all the tips that I am giving your on stress.
21. Renew Your Energy
If you want to feel relaxed and really great, lie down and place your hands on your body. Your hands might automatically move to a place where you feel discomfort or pain. They may also move to where it just feels ‘right’. You are now connecting to your innate ability to balance and recharge yourself on physical, mental, spiritual and emotional levels using your own energy. This is a gift that we are born with and use unconsciously on a daily basis on others and ourselves. By working with it unconsciously you are honing your ability and strengthening your inner healing qualities.
22. Breath Easy
Most of us breathe badly; shallow breathing takes in less oxygen and allows body to retain tension. Learn the art of diaphragmatic breathing, a simple technique that automatically tells your body to relax. Look around for a good relaxation tape to learn this vital art.
23. Have A Little Good Stress In Your Life
Good stress comes about from the ‘highs’ of physical and emotional intensity that come and go quickly. Examples are sport, creative arts and drama where there is a motivation to do a good job and profound pleasure in the result which floods the body with feel-good hormones.
24. Do What You Love
Job dissatisfaction is one of the biggest sources of stress. No one job is necessarily more stressful than another in absolute terms; it’s how people perceives the job and its stresses that count. Take a job stress quiz at www.stress.org/job.htm. If your level is high, look at the aspects of your environment that are most stressful and work out what can be changed.
25. Think White Thoughts
Anger is number one stressor. It is also something we learn to control ourselves. Try to stop your mind thinking thoughts that inflame your emotions; “He’s a loser for making mistake”, “I’ll get her for that”, “He’d better watch out”. The “red” thoughts drive up blood pressure, release stress hormones and can lead to uncontrollable anger. Instead, practise “white” thought alternatives; “I’d like to ask him to change his ideas”, “It may be better not to talk to her for a while until I am calm”, “I will look for another way to make this thing work out”.
26. Learn Biofeedback
A technique known as biofeedback training can help to tech your brain that stress is a simple biological response you can control. Biofeedback devices measure the cooling of peripheral blood in the hands that accompanies stress. Monitoring these levels over a period of time can show you how stress affects you. Using relaxation techniques, you can learn how to decrease the stress response and to gain control over your feelings. Look for a therapist who uses the method or choose a home-based device by typing “biofeedback” into your favourite search engine.
27. Understand Complexity
Try to do complex problems yourselves in life. Like take a problem and break this complex whole into many simpler parts to make the job easier.
28. Be Flexible
“All around us, every day of the year, life throws us challenges. Some people will find these challenges difficult to cope with, while others will find them more manageable. No situation or event can make us feel anything. Every situation or event is neutral. It is just a collection of things coming together at a particular time and place. It is the meaning we place on the situation, or the way we think about the situation that results in how we feel and with the situation. The difference between how people cope with the same challenge comes back to how we perceive the challenge. People who won’t cope well with challenges will more than likely perceive the situation as negative, extreme, fear based and doubt their abilities. This style of thinking is often very rigid and includes thoughts like, “Nothing ever works out for me”. As our emotions are a direct result of how we view the world, this style of thinking will only lead to feelings of stress, fear, anxiety, doubt, depression, hopelessness and sometimes resentment.
On the other hand, those who perceive a situation as an opportunity to learn or grow, or explore other ways in which we could manage our time and commitments, will more than likely experience feelings of satisfaction, fulfilment and health apprehension. This style of thinking is flexible and includes such as, “Maybe things will work out for me”, or “What could I learn from the situation?”.
29. Change Your Work-To-Leisure Ratio
Stress has very high ratios of work to leisure. If you spend 12 hours a day working and only one relaxing, stress-related health problems may result. Build an extra 30 minutes a day to yourself. At the end of one month, rate your stress level. Most people find just tilting the balance in favour of relaxation even just a fraction can improve wellbeing.
30. Find A Quiet Time
Having full and busy life is great, but constantly being on the move does not allow time for thinking and being,, states that give the brain the best chance of working out rational and sensible simplifying tactics. Build in time to be somewhere quiet, away from others and doing absolutely nothing.
That was the end of Part 3 from 21 to 30. Next time I will give you tips 31 to 40.
