Managing Stress
How do you manage stress? One thing to remember is that what one person finds highly stressful, another may not even notice. So, first key to managing stress is to adjust your attitude about the circumstances you find stressful.
Stress is not necessarily a bad thing, and can provide a stimulus for positive change and growth. But excess stress is harmful. Research shows that as stress builds, you become more susceptible to physical illness, mental and emotional problems, and accidental injuries.
Learning to relax is important. Here are ten ways to relax.
Excerpt from “Stress That Motivates”
by Brian Tracy
If you are like most people, your life is full of stress, of all kinds, coming from all directions. This stress can make you or break you. It can build you up or tear you down. It can make you healthy, vital, alive, and successful or it can make you negative, angry, depressed and even ruin your health.
The one thing we know about stress is that it is inevitable, unavoidable and continuous. It never stops. It is triggered by every single event around you of which you are aware in any way. As Hans Selye the pioneer in stress research once said, “Stress is any non-specific reaction to a stimulus from your environment.”
This means that everything around you causes you stress of one kind or another. Your job is to learn how to identify, manage, control and turn stress to your advantage. Your goal should be to make yourself a highly effective, highly energetic, positive, focused, goal-oriented person with a continuous river of personal power flowing through your veins and into everything you do.
