We can control the stress from within with meditation, deep breathing, relaxing and so many other things in particular self-awareness, but it's the stress that is coming from around us which is the hard one to manage. I think the first thing is to be aware of the stress, so that is to recognise the signs. We can only work on things we recognise. We as humans have somehow been taught not to think so much of ourselves and therefore we tend to neglect our emotional sides. Simply put if you are not happy more than likely there is an element of stress. Once identified then corrective action can be taken. The downside to this is the stress can sometimes suck so much energy out of you that you are not feeling the best and don’t know where to start. That is when talking to the right people can help. Having time out for you, massage, reiki, and relaxation, whatever it takes. It’s a reprogramming of the brain. We have the control, but sometimes just loose the remote to switch it over to another channel. External stress is the hard one; this is where you need to be fearless. You may need to pull a person up on their attitude or behaviour and this can be hard, but trust me and I mean this, once you have done that you will feel so empowered! Take back the power by letting them know you will not tolerate and there are ways to do this. If you cannot face the person who is causing the stress in a work situation then there are other avenues. In a personal situation there are groups or professionals to that can help. Your local GP is a great place to start sometimes. But you as the one suffering need to make changes, firstly let it out. Write down how you feel, this is very cathartic. You can be as honest as you feel because no one needs to read it, just you. Once written it can be left behind. Why do I know these things work? Because I suffer from stress from work and family outside of my control over the past 10 plus years and more. I've had to learn how to deal with it or else it would have eaten me up. Good luck everyone...Helennoreply@blogger.com
