Stress Challenge, Week 1, Day 1

Thursday, July 19, 2012

Ah stress. My constant companion for no good reason. It seems once I wake up it starts, what time is it, am I going to make the bus on time, work things, home things. I do feel happy and such, but its always there; the boa constrictor around my chest, the mental induced reaction for when I stress. Its annoying, it hampers my ability to function and work, and while I know that i truly have no reason to worry that much, most likely no more than 5 minutes a day, my basic brain functions and I disagree.
This is the start of the last battle I shall have with this problem, and I shall not be defeated.

  I'll second the idea of meditation. Even if all you do is write down a couple of sayings that you really like and read them first thing in the morning, even if this only takes 1 minute of your time, it DOES help relieve stress.

I found five sayings that I really like in SP quotes section and copied them onto note cards. I read them, one at a time, aloud each morning, then close my eyes and think about each of them for one minute before I move on to the next. Total cost in time = five minutes. Total relaxation cost = priceless!

Best of luck to you on your journey.
