15 tiny ideas that quickly drain stress from your life
- thread -
1. Stress is the feeling of tightness experienced in response to a stressful thought, not anything that happened β€˜out there’ in your environment.
2. Things that happen in your reality - whether a problematic family member or a frightening deadline - are all neutral concepts before we apply meaning to them via our thinking.
3. We experience less stress when we see things strictly for what they are, without the labels we apply to them.
4. Our thoughts directly influence our emotional experience.
5. If we direct our thoughts away from things that create a feeling of stress, we will have less stress, regardless of what’s going on in our life.
6. We are less stressed when we see the benefit of life’s challenges instead of the β€˜pain.’
7. Other people are only difficult when we believe them to be difficult.
8. Feeling overwhelmed is the result of entertaining many worries in our minds.
To feel calm is to instead focus on what’s right in front of you in the real world.
9. We are more likely to worry and feel stressed when our bodies are out of balance, mainly from processed food and not exercising enough.
10. Short walks will solve 67% of your problems.
Long walks will solve 91% of your problems.
11. Accepting things for what they are, instead of wishing things were different, will make you more relaxed and therefore more creative and resourceful.
12. Most of our stress comes from being overly self-conscious.
This means your β€˜cure’ for stress is to be outwardly focused.
13. Putting your attention on making other people feel calm will bring you immediate relief.
14. Few people realise the astonishing wealth of insight and intelligence that exists beneath our thoughts; when we let go, when our minds are still.
15. To tap into our inner wisdom, we must be willing to stop forcing thought and be ok in uncertainty.
That is when we are rewarded with the peace and effortless resourcefulness we were looking for all along.
