MESSAGE #246 - SIX STEPS TO STRESS REDUCTION

You’re going to die, BUT you don’t have to kill yourself! As Roy Masters says, “If you don’t conquer stress – stress will conquer you.

Here are six steps for stress reduction from the National Mental Health Association:

#1. TALK IT OUT – When something worries you, don’t bottle it up.

#2. ESCAPE FOR A WHILE – When things go wrong, it helps to escape from the painful problem for a while.

#3. WORK OFF YOUR ANGER – Do something constructive with the pent-up energy. Pitch into some physical activity or work it our in tennis or a long walk.

#4. DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS – If you feel yourself worrying about yourself all the time, try doing something for somebody else.

#5. TAKE ONE THING AT A TIME – Take a few of the most urgent tasks and pitch into them, one at a time, setting aside all the rest for the time being.

#6. SHUN THE ‘SUPERMAN/SUPERWOMAN” URGE – No one can be perfect in everything.

These six rules are a good start, but if you want more training on stress reduction – check this out:
