TGIF: 10 VITAL KEYS FOR STRESS MANAGEMENT

Sometimes we have difficulty in know what to write not as a result of laziness or carefree attitude but it just works that way. Today happens to be one of such days.

Meanwhile, I presume my esteemed readers had a wonderful week? It's the beginning of another weekend, it's time to unwind and relax from the stress of the week. We cant absolutely do away with stress but we can manage then with the right skills and techniques.

Now let's consider 10 vital keys for stress management

1.  Organize Yourself.
Take better control of the way you're spending your time and energy so you can handle stress more effectively.

2.  Control Your Environment by controlling who and what is surrounding you.
In this way, you can either get rid of stress or get support for yourself.

3.  Love Yourself by giving yourself positive feedback.
Remember, you are a unique individual who is doing the best you can.

4.  Reward Yourself by planning leisure activities into your life.
It really helps to have something to look forward to.

5.  Exercise Your Body since your health and productivity depend upon your body's ability to bring oxygen and food to its cells.
Therefore, exercise your heart and lungs regularly, a minimum of three days per week for 15-30 minutes. This includes such activities as walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, aerobics, etc.

6.  Relax Yourself by taking your mind off your stress and concentrating on breathing and positive thoughts.
Dreaming counts, along with meditation, progressive relaxation, exercise, listening to relaxing music, communicating with friends and loved ones, etc.

7.  Rest Yourself as regularly as possible.
Sleep 7-8 hours a night. Take study breaks. There is only so much your mind can absorb at one time. It needs time to process and integrate information. A general rule of thumb: take a ten minute break every hour. Rest your eyes as well as your mind.

8.  Be Aware of Yourself.
Be aware of distress signals such as insomnia, headaches, anxiety, upset stomach, lack of concentration, colds/flu, excessive tiredness, etc. Remember, these can be signs of potentially more serious disorders (i.e., ulcers, hypertension, heart disease).

9.  Feed Yourself / Do Not Poison Your Body.
Eat a balanced diet. Avoid high calorie foods that are high in fats and sugar. Don't depend on drugs and/or alcohol. Caffeine will keep you awake, but it also makes it harder for some to concentrate. Remember, a twenty minute walk has been proven to be a better tranquilizer than some prescription drugs.

10. Enjoy Yourself.
It has been shown that happier people tend to live longer, have less physical problems, and are more productive. Look for the humor in life when things don't make sense. Remember, you are very special and deserve only the best treatment from yourself.
