What's your stress buster?
The idea of not getting stressed out is all well and good -- until something stressful happens.We are often stressed over things that are totally out of our control. Meanwhile, how you respond to a stress you had, say, in the morning, will often affect the entire day, either negatively or positively. We will always have stress in our lives, but how we respond to those stresses is the key.
Figure out what coping strategies work for you -- and then implement them. This should be something that gives you a peaceful state of mind, whether it's yoga, prayer, meditation or exercise. Then, make it a part of your daily routine. For example, you might start each day in prayer before you head out the door. We prepare to go shopping and vacationing. Why not prepare our minds and body for daily stress?
Celebrate your successes and rebound from your failures. Take credit for success when you achieve a resolution. If you fail, don't blame yourself -- just see how you can do better the next time.
