3 Powerful Tips To Manage Everyday Stress
Often stress will manifest when we carry over yesterday’s concerns into our present day. An accumulation will almost always end up in a high-stress level. Therefore, we must be able to “dump” all our fears from the previous day or days and concentrate wholly on today.
So here are three stress-busting tips:
- Stress-Busting Tip #1
Resolve to release every thought from yesterday and be mindful of the now…. this thought only...this breath...this moment. Please take a deep breath through the nose and slowly release it through the mouth; now, repeat three times. At the same time feel every concern, every problem, and every unresolved moment, begin to dissolve. You can deal with them at a later time. For now, you are only to be in this very moment.
Now go to your quiet inner place. Go deep inside to a place where you feel at peace, and then relax, breathe in deeply, and enjoy being at one and peace within yourself. Use this particular time and place to be calm. Free your mind and body from worry, all regret, all disappointment, all anger, and grief.

Next, visualize yourself out in nature, at the beach or trail, taking in the warmth of the sun and the sound of the wind or waves. All the while, your mind is quiet and calm, and you are in your special place.
Visualization can calm the mind and central nervous system and improve concentration, memory, and brain power.
Mindful visualization is a quick and easy way to take you from fear and anxiety to a calm and relaxed state.
-Stress-Busting Tip #3
The best thing you can do for yourself is to eat, drink and rest – for your health! Stress is quickly brought on by not eating and drinking correctly. When you don’t get the number of hours of sleep that you need each night, you are only setting yourself up for additional stress.
Limit the amount of salt, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol in your diet.
Drink plenty of clean, pure water each day and do at least moderate exercise each day. This will breathe new life into your skin and hair and nourish your vital organs.
Take time to breathe correctly! Take deep belly breaths to send pure oxygen to all your body.
Laugh and then laugh some more. It is food for the soul!
Spend time doing the things that please you most.
Engage in healthy and fulfilling relationships and work on problems that would erode your closeness with someone special.
When we are content and living a balanced life, everyday stresses seem to pale in comparison. We are better equipped to deal with the unexpected.
