4 Simple Stressbusters

by The Marc Austin Highfill Team 4. November 2009 06:26

With Halloween now behind us and the holiday season suddenly looming closer, another name for this season comes to mind: the STRESSFUL Season. Even if the holidays don't phase you, everyone sometimes finds themselves wound up tight and ready to snap in work or life once in a while. A little stress in life is OK, but if you’re finding yourself on overload, you can try these simple rules:

  1. Learn to say “no.”  Are you a people pleaser? How many times have you volunteered to do something you didn’t have time to do, brought something to party you didn’t have time to make, or took on more responsibility than you could handle?  Just say no.
  2. Stop multi-tasking. Do you feel a constant need to achieve?  Doing more than one thing at a time raises your stress level. 
  3. Let go of worry.  Are you a perfectionist? Do you find you criticize yourself when you’re not perfect? Change your negative thoughts to positive beliefs about yourself. 
  4. Schedule time for yourself.  Do you deny yourself time off? Allow yourself to be a kid again —give yourself special “you time.”  Get outdoors, paint, get a massage…relax and enjoy yourself.

Next time you're feeling a little stressed out, take a deep breath and try to implement at least one of these tips. Your state of mind will thank you for it!

Get two plants, and set both of them in two different locations. One plant should be put in a box with a light so it can grow. The other plant should be put in a dark box so it will not grow.
