THOUGHTS ABOUT COPING WITH STRESS

THOUGHTS ABOUT COPING WITH STRESS – it can make you sick or kill I fashioned my master’s degree to assist adults in their efforts to live effective and efficient lives. As any educator knows in trying to help others improve their lives the quality of my life was enhanced. Through research and living I learned that stress was often a silent killer. Until we know better most of us mask stress with avoidance, medication or other habit forming, health debilitating, drugs. Please consider my set of stress coping tools. Fist, stress is unavoidable–it is like the air we breathe. And like the air it can be polluting to our physical and mental systems. Decide what can harm you. If it can’t hurt or kill you–fuck it. Second, get rid of what is stressing you out. Third, learn to cope with what you can’t get rid of. This is where it gets tricky. Keep in mind that it’s not the irritant that causes stress it’s your reaction to it. So, you are in control of your stress in any situation. Realizing you’re in control gives you the power to make decisions to avoid or live with the negative effects of stress. amazon.com/dp/0983947724
