Stress Relief - Self Reliance ( Part 18 )
There is really only one way to get rid of stress and that is to completely transform your lifestyle for the better. The best way to do this is to find someone who has done just that, and then ask them questions about their experience. Learn everything you can from them. Follow their advice with caution and make sure you’ve got everything under control first before implementing anything new. If you’re unsure of some part of their advice just ask them to clarify. This will help you know what they would do in a situation if they were in yours.
There are three main factors that contribute to overcoming stress. The first one is being positive. If you think negatively then you’re going to feel negative. If you think positively then the universe is going to work with you and help make sure those things happen that will improve the quality of your life and keep it positive.
The second important factor is being responsible to yourself. By taking responsibility you will naturally be able to make better choices than if you had no control over the situation. You have to have some control in order to take responsibility for your actions. If someone else is in charge then you’re not responsible for your actions, but if you’re in charge then you can only blame yourself for whatever happens.
This leads directly into the third part of the formula which is being responsible for others that depend on you, and when I say depend on me I mean those who are near and dear to your heart including family, loved ones, close friends and pets.
These are the most important things for you to think about and the most important things for you to do. It is important that you make yourself a priority in your life and take care of yourself before you take care of anyone in your life who depends on you.
The next thing that we can do for ourselves to tackle stress is to recognize it for what it really is. Stress isn't a bad thing; it's just our body's way of telling us we need to be more focused on certain aspects of our life. The most important part of recognizing stress is when we start fantasizing about what might happen if we didn't have this whole stress thing going on with us.
There's nothing wrong with fantasizing, but the more we indulge in it the more stressed out we'll become. If you really want to tackle stress and rid ourselves of it, then you should look at your life as a whole and create a plan for becoming all that you can be. It's not just about what you're going to do when and how; it's about everything that's already happened, is going to happen, or will happen as well.
The thing about making progress in life is that no matter how much progress we make there will always be another obstacle in our way. You have to make sure your plan takes this into account. You have to expect the unexpected because that's just how things go.
If you take the time to sit down and think about the roughest patches that you've been through and what happened because of those experiences then you'll recognize a pattern in them. You'll be able to see how certain aspects of your life were affected by other things happening in your life.
You've already learned from past experience how certain situations can cause stress, now we need to talk about what might happen in the future if we don't do something about it now. The best way to do this is actually by writing it down. I'm not talking about some long piece of fiction that you're going to publish on Amazon or something, I just mean a short list of what you have to do, and why you have to do it.
If we write down everything we need to do then we'll be able to eliminate those things that don't need done at the moment. We'll be able to prioritize our own life and make the right choices for us the right way every time. This will greatly reduce stress because when you're trying to make too many people happy at once, there's no way that things are going to go your way. So, just take the time to sit down and write out your own life plan.
It's important that we recognize what it is that we want out of life; this is a very important part of tackling stress because now you're more inclined to make the right choices. Realizing what you want will help eliminate some of those stressful situations that are in your way.
A great way to do this is by setting goals for yourself. This is something you should be doing anyway, but now it's going to be an essential part of managing your stress levels. When we make sure we have set some clear goals for ourselves then things are going to go much smoother in our lives.
Conclusion
To sum this article up, there are two paths you can take to tackle stress. The first one is the path of self reliance: make sure that you know everything that you need to do in order to become all that you want to be.
The second path is the path of dependency. By approaching life this way, we're more likely to fail and feel as though we have no control over our own lives.
In my opinion it's a lot better to approach life with self-reliance and happiness than it is to let everything else take care of us and leave us feeling like we have no control over our own lives.
