Let's understand there are two main kinds of stress; good stress (normal, productive) and stressful stress.

GOOD Stress:

This is when you have exciting feelings being involved with an activity or sport, this can range from a carnival ride to any kind of participation and/or watching a favorite sport, to watching a movie or TV program with action and/or emotion. These are all forms of stress, however, healthy ones. We seek out and enjoy these activities and many times these are forms of enjoyment that diminish the stressful kind of stress.

STRESSFUL Stress:

This is what we will cover today, this is what we want to learn to eliminate and/or at least diminish.

Mood: A happy, grateful, joyful outlook on life can eliminate 75% of our stress, and then the first question that comes to mind is, how can I create that outlook when my world appears to be falling apart all around me. First you make a decision to be positive, then you take action to make that happen in your life. After all it is a life or death decision. You also need to be clear if you are depressed or clinically depressed, if you feel you are clinically depressed, seek medical assistance and then you can continue to follow these suggestions, which will speed up your outlook on life along with medical care.

Make a grateful list and add to it daily, start with basics like hot water, electricity, and warm bed, then work up to the biggies. Then add the new little miracles that happen each day and start becoming aware of them, they are there, we just have to be open to seeing them.

Keep a journal and write in it daily, carry a small notebook to write events of the day as they happen; as when a huge stressful event happens, all little pluses leave the mind, and if you have them written down all you have to do is refer to them and read them.

Sign up for a daily affirmation program on the computer and/or buy a daily affirmation deck of cards and carry one card a day with you to read and refer to thru out the day.

Find friends or co-workers to laugh with, just about funny, light things, just be silly. Look for funny things, the sillier the better and then share them with each other.

Laughter releases endorphins; which reduces stress and also dis-ease. Laughter also decreases cortisol and other stress hormones, it is also the best bad mood buster. It may be hard at first to just laugh, but when you remember to do it and you see how good it makes you feel, you will practice it on a daily, minute to minute basis.
