Do we really know what stress is? According to to Webster, stress is “mental, emotional, or physical TENSION or strain.” There are two different kinds of stress — the kind that makes you feel overwhelmed(ex: when you have too many things to do), and the kind that makes you feel excited (ex: when you are looking forward to something). However, both “positive” and “negative” stress have the same physical effect on your body when unchecked — they deplete your reserves and leave you DRAINED. The only solution is to either make a conscious effort to spend more time in a lower gear, or take time in between bursts to rest and RECUPERATE. We all know that this can be very difficult to do given the busy lives that we all lead. Stress is unavoidable, however we can all find ways to try to alleviate some of our stress as much as possible. Here are a few tips to help reduce stress in our daily lives.
1. Prepare for the morning the night before. I find that this makes all the difference in the world in getting the kids off to school in the mornings.
2. Make a list. Don’t rely on your memory when running errands, making appointments or picking up groceries and household items.
3. Learn that it’s OK to say “no”.
4. Ask for help.
5. Laugh as much as possible. Surround yourself with a good support system of friends and family.
6. Think positively.
7. Give yourself a time-out.
8. Instead of trying to do everything at once. Do a little at a time.
9. Always have a back-up plan.
10. Get plenty of rest.
And remember its not always about what situation you are in, but how you choose to handle that situation that makes the difference.
