Stress Suggestions

[Guest guest]

Unfortunately, I don't have electronic copies of the handouts I received at

the Hartland Wellness Center that I could circulate. Below are just a few

suggestions that were given and discussed in depth at the Center. Lindsay

(or others who are interested), please let me know if you would like me to

share more of the tips. Thanks!

 

One thing I learned at the Wellness Center was that part of handling stress

is about Attitude. Following are direct quotes from the handouts:

Abraham Lincoln once said, " Most people are about as happy as they make up

their minds to be. "

Straight A's in Attitude

1. Accept: Don't waste valuable energy over something we can't change. We

need to learn acceptance. Positive attitudes can be strengthened by

accepting the unchangeable situations of daily life . . .We don't change

people - people change themselves . . .Serenity Prayer: God, grant me the

serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the

things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

2. Adapt: When we read biographies of great people we discover that almost

without exception, all had to overcome at least one great trial in life.

These people achieved greatness in spite of the obstacles, and also because

of the obstacles.

3. Appreciate

4. Act: Don't wait until coniditions are perfect. Too many of us wait

with the result that we do nothing.

 

Eight Control Techniques for Preventing Burnout

1. Start the day slowly.

2. Learn how to deal with your boss.

3. Cut back extra hours.

4. Change gears after work.

5. Practice relaxing.

6. Help others to cope.

7. Practice natural laws of health (I listed these in my previous message

regarding the Wellness Center.)

8. Honestly assess your values.

 

Hope this helps someone!

thanks for sharing those tips. I'm always interested in hearing ways people

deal with stress. I get knots in my shoulder muscles and have headaches way too

often and I know they are stress related. I concern myself with things everyday

that are senseless - like losing my son,will my marriage be good in 10 years,

did I do well on the test I took yesterday (just things that do me no good in

worrying over constantly)so I'll always appreciate thoughts shared from others!

thanks

Lindsay

I just found this, cleaning out my old email, and wanted to share some tips

my mother-in-law sent me:

stress that builds up during the day.

Small portion lean, steamed chicken (or tofu!) with

1 cup of spinach

1 cup herbal tea

1 Hershey Kiss

 

AFTERNOON TEA:

The rest of the Kisses in the bag

1 tub of Hagen Daas Ice Cream with Choc-chip topping

 

DINNER:

4 bottles of wine (red or white)

2 loaves Garlic bread
