Stress has become an accepted part of life for most people. Here are a few tips to lessen the amount of stress in your life:
Reevaluate your goals. Having a clear picture of what you want to accomplish in life can help you to spot stressful areas that you may be able to eliminate from your routine.
Lighten your load. There’s a limit to what any one person can get done in a day. Make sure the responsibilities you assume aren’t more than you can handle. Sometimes you just need to say “no.”
Don’t let life get too serious. It’s much easier to succeed at any task when you can make what you’re doing fun. Any time you can turn an activity into a game (one that you can win), you’ll enjoy each day’s events more.
Limit your “news” intake. You can get too involved in the news. Many of the frightening reports may not directly affect you, so don’t worry needlessly.
Offer to help someone. When you can support another in some way, you share in their rewards and get a larger view of life.
Spend time with others you like. Being involved with those people that are important to you enhances your well-being.
Schedule a massage! Nothing reduces stress as pleasantly as a massage session. By getting regular massages, you can stay ahead of the stress game and reverse many of the negative effects stress brings to your body.
