Stress Management
Tips
1.Don’t Procrastinate, Accomplishing something
Sometimes just getting something done is stress relieving. It does not
have to be big things.
Ex-
•
Calling back some friends
•
Fixing something
•
Cleaning something
•
Going shopping
•
Cooking a meal
•
Washing the dishes
At first blush, many of these activities may seem
like work. Yet once you start and finish any of these tasks, you may be
surprised at just how pleased you are and how good you feel.
2. Living mindfully in the Present
When you think about it, much of the stress you experience comes from
either getting upset about things that have happened in the past or worrying
about what will happen in the future. You worry about what you did or did
not say to a difficult boss or irritating co-worker or agonizing about that
upcoming meeting or deadline. The present, alas gets lost in the shuffle,
as does any enjoyment you could be experiencing. Train yourself to live in the
present focusing on what is happening to you right at this moment, your life
can be much less stressful.
Try adopting a
mindful approach to each or all of these –
•
Taking a shower
•
Walking to work
•
Eating a treat
•
Drinking a cup of coffee
•
Getting dressed
•
Brushing your teeth
•
Listening to music
•
Doing some exercise
3. Get Up Early
Getting up early is
a gift to yourself. Joining the 5 o
clock club will allow you to start controlling your day rather than letting
your day control you. By rising early will provide you with atleast one quiet
hour for yourself during the most crucial part of your day the beginning. If
spent wisely, the rest of your day will unfold in a wonderful way.
“Getting up
5 am you will join the ranks of many of the most influential people of our time
ranging from Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Edison and Nelson Mandela, etc.”
BE ACTIVE
“As you nourish
your body, so you nourish your mind”
Eat LIVE FOODS –
Take vegetarian
diet- Fill your plate with fresh vegetables, fruits and grains
This is the diet than nature
indented. It is alive, vital and supremely healthy.
The most powerful
animals on the planet ranging from gorillas to elephant are proud vegetarian. A
gorilla has 30 times the energy of a man.
4. Make a list of the important
things you need to handle each day
Make a list of the
important things you need to handle each day. Try to follow the list so you
feel organized and on top of things. Put together a coping plan step by step so
you have a sense of mastery.
5. Power of Gratitude
You're great! Get
someone to tell you why, and tell others what you appreciate about them. Be
sincere and specific. Make a list of all you have to be grateful for and get
some perspective. Gratitude and stress rarely coexist and the positive
psychology movement has proven scientifically that this one will make you
happier.
6. Renew Yourself
You
are a much like high performance racing car worth millions of dollar. Your mind
is the greatest wonder of the universe and your body has the capacity to
perform feats that might astonish you.
Knowing the value of
this high performance multi-million dollar machine would it be wise to
run it full out every minute of every day without taking a pit-stop to let the
motor cool down? Of course
not.
Taking the time to renew yourself is the most
important thing you can do.
Take some time to cool down the high performance engine
of your mind. Take time from your hectic schedule for self- improvement and
personal enrichment will dramatically improve your effectiveness once you get
back into it.
7. Compose a Mantra
Devise an
affirmation — a short, clear, positive statement that focuses on your coping
abilities. “Affirmations are a good way to silence the self-critical voice we
all carry with us that only adds to our stress,” Dr. Elkin says. The next time
you feel as if your life is one disaster after another, repeat 10 times, “I feel
calm. I can handle this.”
8. Help other people
People who help
others, through activities such as volunteering or community work, become
more resilient.
"Helping people
who are often in situations worse than yours will help you put your problems
into perspective,"
"The more you give, the more resilient
and happy you feel."
If you don't have
time to volunteer, try to do someone a favour every day. It can be something
as small as helping someone to cross the road or going on a coffee run for
colleagues.
9. Try to be positive
Look for the
positives in life, and things for which you're grateful.
"People don’t
always appreciate what they have," says Professor Cooper. "Try to be
glass half full instead of glass half empty," he says.
Try
writing down three things that went well, or for which you're grateful, at
the end of every day.
Studies indicate
that optimism or pessimism may affect your quality of life. Optimism enables
you to cope better with stressful situations, likely reducing the effects
of stress on your body.
10. Make a Balance
Make a balance in
every part of your life.
You can be a good
executive and make money for your company, but if you don’t get along
with your spouse and your children you are missing a crucial part of your life.
So, also give love and attention to your family members.
