Advanced Mega Stress Busters - 7 Urgent Tips To Prevent A Breakdown!
Tip # 1 - Advanced Stress Busters “You don’t have to clean up someone else’s mess” Learning to say “no” to other people’s problems is vital to reducing your stress. You don’t have to catch someone else’s ball of problems when they throw it at you. You have your own tasks and hardships to deal with. It is okay to help a friend with a problem; just be aware of when you’re turning their problem into your problem. It's possible to help someone without taking on the problem yourself. What good are two people with one problem? Wouldn’t it be better to have one person with a problem and someone else with a clear head who can offer some logical support? Tip # 2 - Advanced Stress Busters "More is not better" No matter how hard you work to acquire possessions, status, and experiences, you will always have more than some, but not as much as others. It’s a race you'll never win. If you truly want to be happy and stress-free, the secret is to have access to life’s extras rathther than own them. You’ll notice that once you begin to collect or acquire “extra things,” you're now responsible for them, and with responsibly comes stress. The less “extras” you own, the fewer things you are responsible for, and this is directly related to the level of stress in your life. TRANSLATION: The less “extras” you own, the more time, energy, and resources you’ll have to enjoy more. Tip # 3 - Advanced Stress Busters “It’s all right to ask for assistance” Ask for assistance instead of begging for help. You’ll notice that people are more receptive and willing to assist others who explain their situation and ask for assistance as opposed to those who scream, “I need,” “Give me,” or “Help me now!” Build a mental team of helpers who you can look to for assistance in times of great stress. This team can be comprised of family members, friends you have frequent contact with or friendly co-workers. Tip # 4 - Advanced Stress Busters “Give yourself 10 minutes” Take 10 minutes for yourself every day to keep your stress level down. During this time, don't focus your thoughts on any one particular thing. Just turn everything in the room off, lie down on the floor, close your eyes, take off your shoes, and stretch yourself out to make your body as long as possible. Concentrate only on quieting your mind. Imagine you're lying on a beautiful, warm, sunny beach. Now envision that the thoughts in your head are in the form of butterflies, and as they come to you, you just let them fly right by. Once you do this they'll probably come at you faster and faster, but as you continue to let them fly by, the butterflies will begin slowing down. It’s also okay if you fall asleep. Just keep letting those butterflies fly right past you every time you “give yourself 10 minutes.” Tip # 5 - Advanced Stress Busters “Give gratitude and it will come back” Have faith that when you give gratitude, compliments, and express generously that it will come back to you in one way or another. Just give praise when no one seems to notice, say thanks when nobody else does, or spend some extra time or money with someone or something that needs some special attention. Realize that spreading gratitude isn’t a give-and-take experience. All you do is give and understand that your life is better and less stressful for it in many ways that you’ll probably never consciously notice. Tip # 6 - Advanced Stress Busters “Express yourself” Stress creeps in when you get bogged down in obligations and stop finding time and ways to express yourself.. Always leave time to be creative no matter how busy you are.. Write poems, songs, books or articles; play sports or instruments; dance, sing, paint or sculpt. Whatever you do to express yourself and display your talents, never stop doing it. If you stop doing what you love to do it invites double stress into your life. You’ll now have the stress of doing all your tasks plus the stress of not being able to express yourself. Eliminate the double stress and make time to express yourself. You’ll be happier and more likely to complete your other tasks when you make time to do what you truly love to do. Tip # 7 - Advanced Stress Busters “Get organized” Disorganization is one of the leading causes of stress. Organize your papers, bills, and daily schedule into one place - a notebook, binder or planner. Have everything you need to complete all of your tasks in one neatly arranged location. Keep only what you absolutely need. Clutter equals stress and drowns possibility! Don’t be afraid to throw things out. There's great energy in letting go of things. If you truly need a connection to something take a digital picture of it and then throw the item away. Finally, you’ll need to identify a quiet, clean, distraction-free area and make it your organized concentration place. Get started now. * Extra Special Tip - Advanced Stress Busters "This too shall pass" No matter how stressed out you are at any given time, repeat to yourself, “This too shall pass.” All things have a beginning, middle, and end, just like any bad rain storm, hurricane, tornado, break-up, or difficult test . No matter how bad or stressful a situation you’re in, it will pass and your life will be back to normal - and even better - very soon -- because now you're equipped with the knowledge and experience of enduring that stressful occurrence to aid you when the next unpleasant situation comes around.
