How To Live Stress Free
By Judy Davis

Do you feel tired all the time? Do you feel like you’re going to jump out of your skin? Are you eating for no reason? Do you explode when someone asks what you did today? Do you feel like you never get anything done? We all experience these feelings at different times in our life. When we do we lump it all together and call it stress. We try to place blame somewhere. We may even look around and say… “My job is stressful. My spouse is demanding. My kids need me to be in 3 places at once. Aha! That’s it! That’s what is causing me stress.”

So we react. We may look for a new job, get a new spouse or tell the kids we aren’t chauffeuring them around any more. So often, these knee jerk reactions don’t reduce your stress at all. Why not? You can’t feel better unless you get to the root of what caused the stress in the first place. Human beings have a tendency to “stuff their feelings” rather than deal with them. We even let events and people dictate our lives instead of taking control ourselves. So what do you do?

Step back, take a look at your life. Does it look the way you want it to? Are your days centered around the things that are important to you or are they being dictated by the whims of others? Do you see your relationships clearly or do you make up stories about them? Do you work through your feelings or do you stuff them down? Spend some time, take a good look at your life and your feelings.

Identify what your stress “triggers” are, and then find some specific tools/techniques to move you to a more relaxed state. There are many stress management techniques available to you. The key is to find the tools which can create balance for you on a regular basis. Aromatherapy candles can help you unwind. Relaxing music can change your mood. Listening to a stress relief cd can change your mindset. Meditation can reconnect you. Exercise can relieve the anxiety. Each person will manage their stress differently, so give yourself permission to find what works for you, experiment with different techniques and take action to make relaxation a part of your daily routine.
