3 Ways to Avoid Undue Stress or to Reverse the Trend

Just to give you a taste, here are 3 keys to guarding against undue stress or to getting back into balance if you're already stressed.

Learn to say the 'n' word!

And yes, I mean no!!   Or in the words of my partner, 'hit the ball back'.   We often cause ourselves avoidable stress by accepting responsibility for everything we are asked to do.   As a consequence, we find ourselves running around like a mad thing trying to please everyone.   Often the result is that we please no-one - especially ourselves.   I talk more about this on February 2nd in my Fast Track to Stress-free Living Webinar.

Practice Being Happy

When we're focused on what's missing in our lives and what's negative, we feel discontented and unhappy - we even affect our immune system adversely and therefore our ability to fight off illness.   In addition, if our focus is on the negative, we're more than likely just to see more of the same thing.   But matter is made of both positive and negative, so when you encounter a situation you perceive as negative, go out of your way to find the positive and you'll maintain a balanced perspective.  I'll expand on this in the webinar so you have valuable technniques at your fingertips.

Breathe Yourself Well

Another much under-rated stress relief technique is learning how to use your breath and learning to relax.   When you're on the go constantly and caught up in adrenaline heaven, it can become a habit to be constantly 'hyped'.   If this continues over a prolonged period, the adrenals become exhausted and it is difficult for the body and mind to return to a healthy balance.

When we breathe deeply and fully, we reduce the heart rate and blood pressue, increase oxygen and nutrient flow around the body and boost our immune system.   How good is that?   Just by breathing!   I'll tell you how in my 2nd February webinar.

Many people avoid these forms of stress relief because they're not sure how to 'do' them.  There are many audio recordings available to guide you through, including my own 'Stress Relief in a Box' which teach you some of the ways of using your breath and relaxation to improve your health & wellbeing.
