Managing Stress


Plenty of life's situations aren't as urgent as our "knee-jerk" reactions would indicate.
We either over-react on impulse; or we worry on a lot of things without putting things in it's order of prioity, or without organizing our thoughts....


4 quick stress management tips could prove handy:
1. Nightly recap of your day (with pen and paper)

2. Dream work - visualize program plans or activities (a proactive approach)
3. Prioritizing your day each morning
4. Scheduled naps during lunchbreaks and/or meditation at least twice throughout the day.
**this maybe a few minutes nap before or after lunch breaks --or what we call recharging...

The nightly recapping of the day's activity, when practiced over time will naturally, effortlessly lead to paying attention to the occurrences and encounters of the day... as they occur.
Dream work will lead to lucid dreaming and being conscious of dreaming while dreaming.

This makes for some of life's grandest adventures. Indulge flights of fancy or query depths of the psyche with which we usually aren't "consciously" in communication.

Morning prioritizing, when regularly practiced will lead to prioritizing "on the fly", letting go of, or delegating that which isn't of highest importance".

Taking time out during breaks beats the heck out of coffee breaks or water cooler "bull" sessions.

Remember, stress is biologically beneficial, but the mind simply can't discriminate between actual and imagined threats (or what we imagine to be actual!)

Life is stressful....but we always have a choice....
The life and the direction we take is our own choice.
