How To Reduce Stress
Personally choose to directly diminish stress:
- Become better acquainted with yourself: your habits, thoughts, emotional patterns.
- Make some decisions about your life-style.
- Pre-determine how you will respond to stress “triggers”.
- Learn about & build your emotional resilience.
- Choose relaxation avenues that work for you: prayer, medication, music, affirmations of faith, confidence.
Nutrition: Whole-food nutritional supplements can help restore normal sleep patterns, diminish inflammation, re-balance endocrine weaknesses, support with minerals and Omega 3 oils. Avoid inflammatory foods (white sugar, white flour, simple carbs).
Good Habits:
- Establish normal, regular sleep patterns, dietary choices, regular exercise.
- Learn to say “no” when you are over-committed.
- Choose to change your perspective.
- Pray to extend forgiveness.
