How to Control Stress?What’s causing your stress?A slow buildup of everyday annoyances: a dead carbattery, traffic jam, buttons that pop off your clothes as you aregoing to an important meeting. It’s the little things that get underyour skin. Is it a tight schedule and seeminglyinsurmountable problems? Bills to pay, a boss to please, a colickybaby to pacify? Juggling many roles is a main cause of stress.Maybeit’s positive and negative life changes, from the joy of a wedding tothe loss of a spouse, from the exhilaration of a job promotion tosadness at moving away from old friends.Perhaps thecause of your stress is inner conflict. Anger with your boss actuallymay be old anger against a parent bubbling to the surface. If you canrecognize a pattern from the past, this can be an instant stressreliever. Take some time, even just 30 seconds and write down yourfeelings.What you need to do is relax. Huh? It can’tbe that simple! Yes, it can and you can do it. No, we can’t controlother people and situations. What you can do is control how yourespond to people and events.
What you have done is to give away control to others. What youneed to do is regain that control, seal it up and only let the twinsout when it’s really necessary.
When was the last time you actually relaxed? Can you remember what it was like? Were you calm and collected? Was your breathing normal? Were your muscles loose? did you feel that way without any outside stimulants like drugs? If so, the good news is that you can restore that same feeling atwill. Yes, you can definitely take it back whenever or wherever youchoose.
When your mind is bypassing the chemical twins and sending trulyrelaxing messages to your body, wonderful things begin to happen. Justas the chemical twins jump to attention when you stress, otherchemicals go to work when you relax causing you to have a feeling ofcontentment.
While relaxing, actions taken by people and external events are stillimportant but not necessarily personal. You are able to discern thatno one is launching a direct attack upon you or anyone or anything ofyours.
Small problems remain small problems and not the woolly mammothcharging down upon you. Large events will become smaller and not causeyou to get out of your car during gridlock and shout obscenities to thedrivers in front of you.
Those people who are horrible and annoying, shrink to a caricatureserving up no more significance in your world than an ant on a picnictable. As you continue your journey toward relaxation, you can watchthese people with amusement. When you reach the point of totalrelaxation you are able to see your world as it is, not for how youfeel about it.
Everything you do is a matter of choice. You choose to be angry, happyor indifferent. You make a conscious choice to take action or not totake action.
On the opposite end of the spectrum are the chemical twins controllingwhat you know is stress and you are bumped, pushed and thrown intochaos. No choice and no idea why you don’t have a choice.
Obviously, relaxing is a good thing because it gives you choice. Itputs you back in the driver's seat instead of the chemical twins.
*So relax already! Sure, just like that.
