How to Reduce Stress
Stress is something that everybody has in their lives and it can affect you in different ways if you don’t know how to handle it and you don’t know how to reduce it. If you can’t reduce your stress, you’ll end up being controlled by it.
There’s a great book by Melanie Greenberg, she a doctor, and it’s called The Stress Proof Brain.
Dr. Greenberg says we have the ability to observe and then put an end to the stress we get on a daily basis.
Stress is an emotional trigger and what we do next after we experience that emotion determines how we’re going to handle the situation.
When stress triggers a reaction and you act on the reaction, you’ve let the stress take control. The first thing to do to reduce stress is to observe it, the second is put an end to it.
The easiest way to reduce stress is to write it down, as if you were talking to a friend, answer these questions yourself.
What happened that made me stressed?
What’s the problem?
How does it make me feel?
How can I turn it into a positive?
Depending on how you handle situations based on your stress will have a direct correlation to what happens next. If you’re negative in a situation, things may seem like it’s not going your way. Likewise with positive, stay positive, and things won’t seem to get worse.
Action cures fear, in order to reduce the stress, you can overcome it by what you do next, the action you take next.
Summary
Recognize that the stress is there. Don’t let that stress tap into your reactive mind. You tap into your reactive mind first and you choose how you’re going to react, and keep the situation positive.
I hope this helps!
