Learn How to Love Yourself - An Antidote for Stress
In the most
stressful of days, everyone needs some for that famous
TLC, (tender love and care). When you feel tied into
knots with stress, it's probably a good time to mentally
remove yourself from the situation and see things in a
bigger and better perspective.
Stress cannot be avoided,
However there are responsibilities you just can't
ignore, and unfortunately, some of these are accompanied
by high levels of anxiety.

Sometimes giving up just seems to be the
best solution. What do you do when the time
comes that you have to deal with everything,
face up to your decisions, and take all the
consequences? Running away is certainly
not an option.
Just remember, being scared is not necessarily a bad thing. It's
what you do when you're faced with fear that counts.
When you successfully deal with bad situations, take the
time to treat yourself with a reward. It helps inspire
you to do better every time a form of harassment comes
into your life. |
Ways to deal with stress
One thing many people resort to when they need to unwind is have
themselves a 'spa day.' The term intrinsically assumes
the idea of health. Thus, many believe this to be a
wisely spent day. A day of relaxation trumps anything
that comes next. This is the ultimate way to spoil
yourself, a way to reward yourself for all your hard
work.
Unfortunately, spending the day at a spa can be
costly. It only affirms the notion that all good things
come at a price. The good news is, this doesn't have to
be the case. As a matter of fact, there are hundreds of
ways to celebrate your triumphs, many of which require
little or no money.
When things become too rough to handle, a walk in the park does
wonders. The nice fresh air and the smell of flowers is
nature's version of an energy drink. If the park isn't
your thing, maybe a day spent at the beach could do the
trick. The idea is to do the things you love.
The idea
behind it is to let you feel that you are also worth
something and that you deserve the goodness in life
because you've been a responsible person. Whatever it is
that you like, you have to set aside some quality time
for it so you are able to see things clearly and in the
proper perspective after you're refreshed.
A good method to use is to have a list of things you must
accomplish in say, 10 years. Include things that are not
necessarily related to work. Make it as holistic as
possible, bearing in mind that you also need to spend
time with those who are close to you on a more personal
level.
After all, pampering is not a benefit that only
some of us should enjoy, it's everybody's birthright to
love themselves!
