Stress Expert Speaks at Stroke Support Group

Last Thursday I was given the privilege of speaking with at a local Stroke Survivors Support Group about how stress can ruin your life.

What many people don’t realise is how much impact stress has on their life.  Stress causes anything from health conditions to arguments with your boss.  Do you have unnecessary arguements with your boss or any one else?

When we’re under stress our emotional and physical reserves are at an all time low.  Just one comment, one traffic light, one more demand and we release our fury to regain some control (not that it does but it does release some tension).  Many people don’t release their stress at all, and allow it to build up until their body and mind can take no more and that’s when events like stroke happen.

What can we do about stress?  It’s simple- we learn to manage it!  Ok, now that’s not that simple.  But possible!  We can learn to deal with and manage stress.  We can even make some stress go away!  Wouldn’t you like to make your stress go away?

My upcoming best selling book is full of techniques and tips to manage stress.  Until then, let’s look at some simple stress management techniques:

1.  Take a deep breath, and let go of everything that’s stressing you.  Let it all go.

2.  Ask yourself: “why does this stress me, really?  What’s the real reason behind this?”

3.  Now ask yourself: “what can I do about it?”

4.  Take another deep breath and see yourself doing what you decided in step three.

5.  Have a great day!

Often just seeing ourselves resolving a situation is enough to manage stress associated with it, and in many instances problems resolve themselves after doing this.  In many cases they don’t and that’s where real stress rmanagement techniques come in.  My new best seller is full of stress relief tools.

Have a great week,

To your stress management,
