11 WAYS TO STAY 
TOP OF STRESS


​
  1. Exercise. 
  2. Believe me, they've helped me many days with my perspective. 
  3. If you have to work out, then go take a brisk walk and get that
  4.  blood flowing. It isn't about working out to lose weight -- 
  5. it's about being healthy and staying sane.

  7. Eat the real stuff. 
  8. Crappy food (fast, processed, and loaded with sugar) doesn't help 
  9. your chemical brain and body handle stress. Living food, real food, 
  10. helps support your mind and body while it's trying to deal with the million 
  11. things coming its way. Every time I reach for the chocolate, I'm looking 
  12. to feel something from it. Don't get me wrong -- if it's just a little here and
  13.  there because I enjoy the taste of it, great. But if I'm using it the minute
  14.  I feel overwhelmed, then that's when that food is no longer OK to eat. 
  15. It doesn't make the problem go away, and then I just feel bad about eating the food
  16.  to pacify myself. Grab green food instead. Put things in your mouth that are
  17.  going to support your immune function and keep you levelheaded.

  19. Notice. 
  20. Try not to let the stress overtake you. Recognize the situations that 
  21. cause the stress and notice them coming your way. You have a better
  22.  shot at fending off the full effects of the stress when you can anticipate it.

  24. Get it off your chest. 
  25. Talk to a friend or partner about the stress. Sometimes just
  26.  getting it off your chest can help unload some of the burden. 

  28. Keep your sense of humor. 
  29. If you do have the chance to talk about it, try to see the irony and
  30.  humor in the wacky bits. I think someone is dead in the
  31.  water once they lose their sense of humor.

  33. Stay grateful. 
  34. My daughter has large lungs and verbal skills she likes to display. 
  35. Just when I start to wishfully think about her being quiet, I remind 
  36. myself to be grateful that she can talk to me at all. In almost all of our
  37.  problems are boatloads of blessings. "Oh, I don't feel like going to the gym.
  38. "  Well, Amen that you have the means and the health to even be able to wrestle
  39.  with the idea of going to work out. Make a habit of saying thank you. You will
  40.  notice the sunny spots a lot more often, and not just the gray skies and storms.

  42. Ask, "What's the hurry?"  
  43. Have some fun. We're always so busy going somewhere, we 
  44. miss just enjoying the moment. If an opportunity comes your 
  45. way to do something fun, take it.

  47. Take a deep breath. 
  48. When you feel the stress getting to you, take a moment. Get away, even 
  49. if it's just for an hour, to be with yourself and your thoughts. Some people
  50.  like to take a walk, meditate, lock themselves away in a beautiful
  51.  bath, or go to church. Find the peace and the silence.

  53. Keep it simple. 
  54. Simplify where you can. Does Junior really need to be in 78 activities 
  55. at the age of 5?  Do you have to go to every little party or gathering you're invited to?

  57. Sleep. 
  58. If you're rested, you have a better shot at handling things. Not to mention,
  59.  you may not stress out as easily if you have a chance to recover at night.

  61. Drink water. 
  62. I have said it before: Americans consume 21 percent of their calories
  63.  through liquid consumption. Hydrate with water. Help you entire system 
  64. function better just by drinking enough water. Oh, and by the way, 
  65. if you don't think that weight loss and proper hydration have a relationship,
  66.  think again. Shift the paradigm on its side -- don't think about exercise and
  67.  nutritional eating just as something you have to suffer through to get into 
  68. those jeans. Instead, think of them as armor that will protect you in this crazy world,
  69.  with all of the bazillion details you deal with every day
