Many of us hurry through life going from one place to the next, focused on conquering the next mountain, making the next deal, running the next errand, and believing we will never have enough time to do all the things we need to get done. Yet, there is all the time in the world if we just realize that we are the creators of this life we choose to live. That's right. Life is a series of choices and being free from stress is one of those choices.
Whether your business life is overly complicated or your personal life (or both), you have chosen this current system of chaos. The world is a tantalizing swirl of getting the next "fix," tempting us to fit more and more things, people and processes into our lives, personally and professionally. And because we are so busy being busy, it's easy to be lured into the fray, with our lengthy to-do lists. Yet, the greatest achievements have often come from the simplest of ideas and in the simplest forms.
To experience a simplified life, we first have to learn to slow down long enough to see through all the clutter. We need to realize that we are powerful magnets that attracted this life to ourselves—no matter what—good or bad.
1. Take the time to be YOU! Everyone needs (ME) time. If you don't take care of the ME, how can you expect anyone else to do it for you. The better you are to yourself the better you will be to others.
2. Stop setting deadlines that can not be met. Setting unrealistic goals will cause more stress and disruption in life. Learn to follow your dreams without setting a time frame around them. Stay focused on the end result regardless of the time frame it took to get there. The only way you can fail is to set an unrealistic goal, so learn to let the time structure go! Remember good things come to those who wait.
3. Turn on that positive energy! Learn to be grateful!
Create a gratitude list. Make a list of things you are grateful to have in your life. Feeling gratitude puts you in the right frame of mind and will allow you to move forward in a positive direction. Focus on the stress and that is exactly what you will get more of and that's STRESS!
4. Exercise can and will relieve STRESS.
Get into an exercise program and stick with it! Exercise is often the best medicine for getting rid of stress. Do your best to clear your head of anything else but taking care of the ME. Exercise to clear your head and rid yourself of the stress you've created.
5. You can focus on negative or you can focus on the positive the choice is 100% up to YOU! The energy you put out is the exact energy you will receive. Learn to be a positive person thankful for the blessings in your life and understand that time frames are the trigger points for stress. Rid yourself of as many time frames as you can and your stress levels will go away.
Learn to be grateful, learn to enjoy the simple things in life learn to look at life as a big learning experience and the stress in your life may very well disappear. The only time you fail at anything is when you give up! Success can and will happen every time without fail it just might not be in your time frame. So stop setting them and watch you stress vanish!
Remember you are only as strong as your weakest link. A complete person is strong of Mind, Body and Spirit.
