How to Relieve Stress
How to relieve stress. Rule Number One! Never say anything to yourself that you wouldn't say to someone else. Sums it up in a nutshell doesn't it? How often does your chatterbox talk you into a downward spiral? Why does that happen? Well, our thoughts are automatic 24/7 Often, very often actually, these thoughts are coloured by negative chatter going on in our heads, based on someone else's opinion, or how we think we ought to be or even downright self sabotage. Mostly positive thoughts are likely to make you deal with difficult or unpleasant situations in a positive and productive way. Mostly negative thoughts can induce a landslide of worry, stress, negativity and symptoms of ill health.
Learning to think positive is not a head in the sand attitude it just means that you focus on a positive outcome and look out for ways to achieve it. Have you identified yourself as a worrier? Are you afraid most of the time? 
You can begin now to take control of your chatterbox and turn some of those depressing thoughts around. You may think right now is not a good time, but the opposite is true. I have overcome many hardships in my life using positive thinking to relieve stress. Because I know how it feels and am still learning how to cope better, I have put together some simple suggestions that you can begin with. There may be lots of ways to relieve stress.

Never under estimate the value of a balanced diet and some exercise and fresh air. Including more good mood foods into your daily diet and cutting back on those that may be having an adverse effect can work wonders. Try it for a few weeks, you'll be amazed. The evening drink that comes disguised as comfort can have serious adverse effects. Many older women find that a few glasses of wine in the evening can disrupt sleep and cause other unpleasant side effects. It might be worth looking into changing those evening rituals to see how much they really help. Maybe they don't!Talk to friends who lead largely positive lives and try to be grateful for all the wonderful things in your life. Your grandchildren, your friends, partner, garden, last holiday whatever is close to your heart. This helps to get another perspective on a situation.
