In addition to the way that stress becomes quite relentless and ever present in our lives, it also has a terrible habit of refusing to respect boundaries. If we learn the process of establishing boundaries and creating opportunities to rest - instead of just utilizing them as they show up - we can multiply the power of this rejuvenating phenomenon so that we feel more calm, empowered and at ease with our lives.

Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-09-07 | - Word Count: 906 | Viewed: 837 | Votes: 1 | Rating: 3.00
One of the most important ways to identify stressors and their role is to figure out their theme. A theme is a sort of thread that ties seemingly different elements into the same whole. What seems like many problems is actually just one related, overall problem. Once we know our major stress themes, we can begin taking more appropriate big-picture steps along with smaller ones.

54 Losing Weight - A Body in Motion

Newton tells us that a body in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon; likewise, a body at rest will stay at rest until acted upon. This gives us a powerful metaphor for the difficulties of getting into a proper, healthy exercise habit that can help shed weight and keep it off. If we can break our old habits and get ourselves into a good, strong routine of healthy habits, we will find they are much easier to maintain. This applies just as much to exercise as to any other habit we have in mind. Taking it step by step (literally!) can make all the difference in the world.

55 Stop Stressing - External Checks on Internal Perceptions

It's very easy to take our perception as reality. We see a wall six feet away, we say it's six feet away. We feel hot, we say it is hot. The problem is, perceptions are a matter of perspective and information. This is one of the most important stress management tools available in our toolkit. Let's look at a healthy habit we can build to help combat our internal perceptions with external information.

So far, we've been focusing on using small steps and independent techniques to help deal with the stress which piles up in our lives. Each of these techniques is a good and proper one for dealing with stress. However, there is another technique that takes advantage of all the things we've talked about and makes them even more effective. This technique is called "system building."

57 Stop Stressing - Finding Choices
Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-08-24 | - Word Count: 932 | Viewed: 846 | Votes: 0
It's hard to make a good choice instead of a bad one. It can be even harder to go back and undo a bad choice that we made some time ago. Instead, many times we stubbornly reinforce it again and again, letting it build up over time to continue burying us in worry, regret and stress. If we genuinely want to build lifelong habits that will benefit us and reduce the amount of stress in our lives, we have to look seriously at every aspect of those lives and improve them.

58 Stop Stressing - Don't Look Back
Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-08-17 | - Word Count: 859 | Viewed: 900 | Votes: 1 | Rating: 1.00
The past can be a problematic albatross to carry around. We'll forget where we left our keys 20 minutes ago, but ask us to remember an embarrassing moment from our childhood and it will come to mind like a flash. For some reason, we seem incredibly predisposed toward reminiscing over troubling events. We replay and replay them in our minds until we can't focus on anything else but feeling mortified and wondering if we made the right decision. What's needed is a system - a way of approaching the problem piece by piece and addressing each part until we can settle it logically.

For creatures that supposedly only exist in the present, we sure do a lot of time traveling. We worry about tomorrow, we fret over yesterday, and all the while our current status gets neglected. If we're going to make the best of our efforts to relieve stress and get to where we want to be, we need to make a habit of making the most out of the present, instead of letting time-traveling worries get the best of us.

Part of our ultimate goal in doing all this habit changing is to lose weight, of course. Part of that is the practice of weighing in and seeing what our progress has been. Unfortunately, this is another area where people too frequently miss out on developing a good habit, and find instead discouragement and frustration. However, just like all other problems, there is an explanation and a habit that can help solve it.
