Stress and Managing Stress In Our Lives
Probably the number one cause of feeling stressed is GUILT FEELINGS.
This can arise from perceived spiritual failings.
We won't go into this area, if you think it applies to you, you need to visit with your spiritual advisor or clergyman.
Have you cheated someone, committed a crime, hurt someone? Make it right if you can, but above all, forgive yourself.
Stress and managing stress in our lives can sometimes be relieved by doing this.
If so manage your guilt stress.
Another common stressor is wanting to be thought of as "The Best".
Did someone with a monkey on his or her back just give you theirs? Why did you accept it? 1.
Do you need to be liked? 2.
Do you need praise? 3.
Are you afraid to say, "No keep your monkey, I don't want it.
" 4.
Do you try to do everything for everyone? Next is putting off what needs to be done in favor of doing something enjoyable but goes nowhere and puts you behind schedule.
It can be a huge stress on you.
Sometimes stress and managing stress in our lives can be done by: 1.
Playing on your computer.
2.
Visiting in person, or on the phone.
3.
Just go shopping.
4.
Eating or dieting (falling off a diet is stressful.
) 5.
Watching television.
6.
Playing in your garden or yard.
Going over your budget is fun but...
Not having Money can be a great stressor.
Here again much of the stress in this area comes from wanting to be well thought of but not enough money to take care of these things.
1.
Unpaid bills.
2.
Holidays (Valentines, Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas.
) and no money or not enough money.
3.
Weddings, Birthdays, Baby Showers, Graduations, Anniversaries.
4.
Student Loans, Credit Cards.
Another item that can cause stress is not enough exercise, or your diet.
Improper eating can have a major roll in stress.
Eating too much of the wrong things like sweets and carbs can cause a major imbalance in your system putting more stress on your digestive system.
Lastly, don't set stressful or impossible goals.
Goals are important but when they become stressful you need to reevaluate your timetable.
You should have short term and long terms goals, not ones set due to the stress in your life.
Getting relief from all the stress and anxiety in our lives plus learning to manage it is Priceless.
