Look at the country side and you would see that I am the majority.”

Jane Berkowitz’s Ten Best Stress Tips

Jane Berkowitz's Ten Best Stress TipsJane Berkowitz’s Ten Best Stress Tips

 

Feeling anxious, weighted down? Feel like you just can’t deal with the stress around you? Wishing the things that cause you to feel this way would just go away? Well, here are  ten Best stress tips.

Some of the things causing your stress are here for the long term. Others will go away, but be replaced by new distressing things.

Now, even though you can’t escape the fact that there will always be some stress in your life, there are some basic things you can do to put yourself in a good position to handle stress that comes your way. And you can do your best to not be the source of your own stress!

1 – Get enough sleep

Something as simple as getting to bed at a decent hour is a great start. Recognize how much sleep you need to function well. Stress can cause a lack of sleep. Relax for a while before going to bed (and don’t go to be right after watching the news). Caffeine and alcohol before bed are among the most common causes of insomnia. If you have health complications or are on medication, your doctor may be able to prescribe a different medication that won’t interfere with sleep.

2 – Eat a healthy diet

Nutrition and stress are related. The greater the stress you’re facing, the more good nutrition you need. Protein, B vitamins, C and A vitamins, magnesium are depleted when the body is in the fight or flight mode brought on by stress. Skipping meals, eating junk foods, having excessive caffeine can actually contribute to stress by making you feel worse. Poor eating habits lead to blood sugar issues, lowered immune system, and that “drained” feeling. Eat healthy snacks of fresh fruits and veggies along with healthy meals and a balanced nutritional supplement. You’ll feel more energized and you will help yourself have the stamina to fight back at all the stress you encounter during your day.

3 – Under book yourself

You need time to recover from daily stresses. Plan less things for yourself to do in a day. If you regularly plan 10 things and you’re feeling over stressed, then start to plan 5 things a day for yourself instead. Learn to say “no”. Watch your stress level decrease!

4 – Take a break

Do something fun. Laugh. It reduces the flow of stress hormones. It’s amazing how a brisk 10-minute walk clears your head and gives you a fresh outlook. A 10-minute nap has been associated with increased energy, motivation, alertness, and concentration. Taking a break is not being lazy! You’re refreshing your mind. You’re relieving stress. Enjoy a good break every couple hours.

5 – Exercise

Exercise is one of the best ways to relieve stress. The more stressed you are, the greater the amount of exercise you need. When you exercise, mood-elevating endorphins are released into the blood stream. Break a sweat. You’ll feel great. As the blood flow to the brain increases, it will “wash out the cobwebs”. In addition, exercise promotes restful sleep.

6 – Declutter your space

Clutter reminds us of all we need to do. It gets worse as we waste precious minutes plowing through it to find our keys and important papers. Try setting a kitchen timer for 15 minutes, pick a spot and clean it up the best you can in that time. Stop when the timer goes off and plan to do the same tomorrow. Having a tidy environment is a great stress reliever.

7 – Pay your bills on time

Avoid the stress of late notices, extra charges, and your credit record being jeopardized. It takes a little organizing, so have a specific place to put all bills and pay bills every 2 weeks. Be sure to record in your checkbook and keep your checkbook up to date.

8 – Stop procrastinating

That means stop putting off till later what you need to be doing now. You know the end result of procrastination – feelings of guilt, inadequacy = increased stress levels.

Determine why you’re procrastinating. Feeling overwhelmed by a project? Try doing little bits at a time. Are you avoiding something because it’s unpleasant? Just do it! Waiting for just the right time? It usually doesn’t come.

Fear of failure (or even success)? Visualize a good out come. Feel the need to be perfect? Set a deadline, do your best, and realize that your 80% could be someone else 100%! You’ll always feel better when you do it and have one less thing on your mind.

9 – Think the best

When you expect bad things to happen, you are programming yourself to feel anxious, actually attracting and bringing on bad experiences. This can bring out the worst in you and in others. Choose the opposite. Believe good things are going to happen. You will attract good things. Of course, bad things happen to everyone, but keep looking for the good. You usually find what you look for.

Set your mind on things that are beautiful, noble, happy. Have a grateful attitude. In the worst of affairs, there’s always something to be grateful for. Look for that. Say to yourself “Something good is going to happen to me!” Expect that to be true!

10 – Get help for life issues that are out of control

When life stresses are getting to an unhealthy level, seek help, buy a book on the subject, look it up on the internet, talk to a counselor, pastor, ask a friend for help, get professional help.

A certain amount of stress is normal. An unhealthy stress level over a period of time takes its toll on your body. How you prepare for facing stress and how you deal with it is the key. You might be surprised at how just a couple of life style changes can make all the difference in your stress level. Jane Berkowitz’s Ten Best Stress Tips is a must read for everyone.

WORRY: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?WORRY: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

We all worry about many things. Our health, family, children, friends, finances, business, old age, and what will happen when will die. Does worrying change a situation? Certainly not! Worrying leaves us in a state of anxiety over all sorts of things; both real and imagined. Worry creates confusion and makes one behave like narcissus. While accepting our challenges, and working to correct
them might not produce an expected outcome, we are better off shifting our worries to concrete action.

A man was exploring caves by the seashore. In one of the caves he found a canvas bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls. It was like someone had rolled clay balls and left them out in the sun to bake.
They didn’t look like much, but they intrigued the man, so he took the bag out of the cave with him. As he strolled along the beach, he would throw the clay balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could.

Everyone has a dream. Some people dream of becoming rich and famous, while others dream of making a difference in the world. But few people actually set out to achieve their dreams.

That’s why the story of one man who set out to conquer the world is so inspiring. This man’s name was Alexander the Great, and he was one of the greatest military leaders of all time.

Alexander was born in 356 BC in Macedonia, a country in northern Greece. When he was just 16 years old, he became the king of Macedonia. He then set out to conquer the world.

In just 12 years, he conquered most of the known world. He defeated the armies of Persia, Egypt, and India. He even crossed into Europe, where he defeated the armies of Greece and Italy.

In the end, Alexander’s empire extended from Greece all the way to India. He was just 32 years old when he died, but he had accomplished more in his short life than most people could ever hope to achieve in a lifetime.

Alexander’s story is an inspiration to us all. It shows us that anything is possible if we set our minds to it. So, dream big and never give up on your dreams.

There also once lived a powerful king who undertook an expedition to conquer foreign lands. His wise counselor asked him, “Great king, to what purpose do you set out on this endeavor?” “To become master of Asia”, the king replied. “And then what?” asked the counselor. “I shall invade Arabia”, said the king. “And after that?” “I shall conquer Europe and Africa; and finally, when the whole world is under me, I shall rest and live at ease.” To this the wise counselor retorted, “But what keeps you from resting and living at ease here and now, if that is all you want? You could settle down this very day without the trouble and risks.

Conquering The World; Short stories that Inspires is a story that would surely motivate us to keep our mind right.

Growing Good Corn: The Interconnectedness of life

Growing Good Corn: The Interconnectedness of lifeThe Interconnectedness of life a story generosity 

There once was a farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon.
 
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.
“How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked.
 
“Why sir,” said the farmer, “didn’t you know that? replied the farmer. The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”
 
He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor’s corn also improves.
 
So it is with our lives. Those who choose to live in peace must help their neighbors to live in peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.
 
The lesson for this post Growing Good Corn: The Interconnectedness of life is this if we are to grow good ‘corn’, we must help our neighbors grow good ‘corn’.

Wooden BowlsWooden Bowls: The Story of the ill-Treated Oldman

A frail old man lived with his son, his daughter-in-law, and his four-year-old grandson. His eyes were blurry, his hands trembled, and his step faltered. With his trebling hands his family made him to eat with wooden bowls

The family would eat together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon, drooping to the floor. When he grasped his glass of milk, it often spilled clumsily at the tablecloth.
