Nutrition and Weight Loss Ideas

Since we’ve been talking about stress in the past couple of articles, let’s continue with that. Stress is obviously something that affects every one of us. And, since that’s the fact of the matter, we need to learn to find ways to effectively control this emotion.

We need to get into the habit of looking for the sources of stress. We need to learn to rearrange our priorities and we need to learn how to change the ways in which we respond to stressful situation.

The first order of business is to identify the sources of your stress. Try keeping a diary or journal to help you recognize what events during the day are causing you stress. Keep track of all your activities even if you write down just a few words and the time the event happens. This may be another chore added to your already crowded schedule but is necessary to help identify the stressors in your life. Which activities trigger anxiety or anger? Which events trigger a negative physical response such as a headache or a gastrointestinal problem? It’s important to note which events make you happy or give you pleasure. Noting your positive experiences will help you decide the activities that give you a sense of accomplishment or joy instead of stress.

After you have identified the main sources of stress you need to ask yourself if they are self-imposed stresses or are they someone else’s goals you are trying to meet. Have you committed yourself to activities or tasks that force you into unreasonable time lines? Which events are under your control? Which events can you change?

These are all good questions and the answers must come from within you.

Reorganizing your priorities will help you reduce the activities that cause you too much stress. Erasing stress is nearly an impossible feat, but there are ways to reduce its impact on your mental and physical health. Usually, adding activities that are enjoyable will aid in reducing stress.

Take long weekends and family vacations. If your stress comes from your home, find ways to get out of the house, even if it is only for an hour or two a week.

You may want to replace some time-consuming tasks with activities that give you pleasure. This is just as important as cleaning house and paying bills. Allow yourself the time to enjoy your children, and spend quiet, loving time with your spouse. This will encourage positive and happy feelings and will help in reducing stress.

Talk about your feelings, especially if they are feelings of anger, frustration, or fear. Repressing these emotions can result in depression, a feeling of being helpless. Talking about your feelings don’t mean venting them on others. Venting your anger is not a good way to handle negative feelings and emotions. Talk to a trusted friend or confidant in the most positive way possible. Writing a letter, poem, or making a journal entry may also be a good way to vent negative feelings.

As I always recommend to you — bring meditation into your daily life. It’s vital to your good health and your peace of mind.
