Stress is the word used when our body responds to emotional or physical threats or problems and changes our feelings in some way. Anybody can be stressed. It’s the way we respond to life’s many challenges. It is usually caused by social issues. Some include life and development issues. Managing stress effectively can be within anyone’s grasp. To learn how to de-stress and make your living easier, simple lifestyle changes are required. Awareness couple with balance and moderation can be the key to Stress Management. If you are serious about managing stress effectively, be mindful about the daily choices you make and take the following crucial steps which are easy to follow: • The first step to stress management is to identify the causes of stress in our lives. Whether it’s your house, job, career, family, money, just figure out what is causing you to be stressed. If you have bad habits that you turn to, change your attitude. Once this is done, and identified, the next step is to change the way you view it at the first time. Adopt a new mind set. • Learn how to change your perception of life. Perception that agrees with your inner mind that no matter what happens, you’ll never be stressed. Some people only work a few hours a day and are hardly ever confronted with deadlines, but they are stressed than those working long hours to tight deadlines. This shows how we perceive the situations of our daily life that generate stress. • Believing in yourself. If we belief that our happiness is based on what we do and that people get fired for missing a deadlines, then stress will your companion. S to control our emotion, we must belief in ourselves and we must believe that no one can hurt us without our permission, deadline or not. You have to train your mind in other to achieve this level of belief, because it does not come easily. But with practice, there is nothing that cannot be achieved. • Accept the things you can’t change and thank God for the things you can change. The best way to manage stress is to accept the situations it is. Don’t try to control the situation which is not under your control especially the behavior of other people. • To change your situation for effective stress management, you have to avoid stressors. For many people this can be as easy as learning to say NO. For others it’s learning to control your environment, avoid hot topics, and avoiding people who stress you out. Setting limitations on what you are able to do and the time to get them done. If you can’t avoid a stressor, learn to alter it instead. Be assertive in expressing your feelings after a compromise. Manage your TIME to avoid conflicts. • To change your reactions to life issues, you’ll need to adapt or accept the stressor. Adapting to stress requires changing one’s perception and thoughts about stress itself. Instead of thinking about the situation in a negative light or getting mad, think positively and try to find a positive perspective. Accepting stress means not trying to control things that are uncontrollable. Look for a silver lining or an upside to the situation. Learn to share your feelings and forgive when things don’t go as planned. These strategies can reduce the level of stress that occurs in our daily life. • Start the day with a smile. Repeat some affirmations about having a good day in the morning. Have some affirmations like “like I’m Having A Great Day or I’m Having A Wonderful Day” posted somewhere you can see them in the morning. Also try to smile and laugh more than before. Feigning laughter or saying ha ha ha ha ha will help you to relax. Remember the saying that says “Laughter is the best medicine.” Many muscles are at work when you laugh and it goes beyond your face to your body, mind, and then your spirit. Laughter ultimately reduces stress and makes you to relax. All of these techniques combined works together as a management system to eliminate stress and keep a healthy body, mind and spirit. “For more info on stress and how to live a stress free life visit http://www.no-more-stress.In”
