How to Reduce Stress

Stress saps energy.

Learn how to reduce stress and watch your energy soar again.

Step one involves recognising your negative self talk.

Yes that's the chatterbox in your mind that magnifies the negative aspects of a situation and leaves no room for anything positive.

Your chatterbox tells you to take everything personally and lets you believe that people do not like you or you are not good enough.


Shut the Chatterbox up!

Fear is ever present in your mind and the chatterbox tells you the outcome will surely be the worst. This makes it hard to appreciate your own efforts and achievements.

An excellent method of shaking off these negative thoughts is to take a walk A little exercise and some fresh air can work like magic on your mood. Sometimes improving mood might be just a matter of finding out which foods work against you and limiting them. Eating more good mood foods can stabilise your energy levels and make you feel better in no time. Did you know that fragrance can enhance your mood. Aromatherapy candles or fragrant essential oils wafting from a diffuser can create a sense of calm and wellbeing.

Need a few more ideas?

You can learn how to reduce stress by recognising the negative self talk and changing it.

It's like putting the driver at the other end of the train!

There are many ways to reduce stress. This one will not make you optimistic and carefree overnight but you will feel the difference as soon as you begin to change your thoughts.

It's really quite easy, just check up on yourself during the day and if the chatterbox is at it again, change the thought.

Put a positive spin on it...

  • I have never done this before... Its a new opportunity
  • I can't do that... I am going to try.
  • This is too complicated... I'll look at another angle.
  • I am too old for that... Maybe my experience is valuable.
  • No one stays in touch... I can get some communication going.
  • That will be too expensive... lets look at ways to do it cheaper

Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting: The Power of Positive Feelings The late Lynne Grabhorn wrote:

Then follow your joy!
Go smell more roses, watch more sunsets, find more grass to walk barefoot on, visit more favourite restaurants, laugh more, find more places to explore, go to more ball games or plays, indulge in more hobbies, be more spontaneous, play more golf, listen to more music, find more places to skinny dip, smile more, have more fun!

Taken from her book "Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting"

Sometimes we need help to overcome persistent low moods despite our best efforts. Managing depression before it becomes out of hand may require a more pro-active approach. At her website Healthy Lifestyle Success Caroline Shipsey has some more options lovingly based on her own experience.
