If stress has taken over your life, rest assured that you can
take it back! What you need to do is to create a personal stress
management program. These are the steps involved in managing your
stress:
- Find ways to relax your body
and your mind. Learn meditation, yoga, daily relaxation skills or
self -hypnosis.
- Rid yourself of
self-defeating beliefs and replace them with self-affirming
attitudes that guarantee health and success.
- Make sure you are getting
your zzzz's at night. The hours before midnight are what count
most, for millions of years we went to bed shortly after the sun
went down and that is when your hormones repair themselves the
most. If you constantly wake up during REM sleep, then you are not
likely to have a restful night's sleep and you are pre-aging
yourself in the meantime.
By managing your stress, you will find that you can perform
better in your work, enjoy a healthier life, and even have better
relations with the loved ones in your life.
