How To Deal With Stress

The past two days I have been a ball of nerves. I have been upset and anxious, and I am not sure how much more I can take. I need help with the prevention of stress in my life, or maybe I just need to learn how to manage my stress. I am the queen of routine, and if anything upsets that, it upsets me. Dr. Kathleen Hall founded The Stress Institute in 1997, and since then has been helping people find ways to manage the stress in their lives.

I was reading their website, and they talked about Mindful Living Everyday. From what I understand, you basically live your life in the moment, making each decision on how it will affect the world around you. They talk about finding your inner energy instead of gaining energy from the things around you. This makes perfect sense to me, because I know when I work out, I feel a whole lot better than when I don't. I always feel more alert and have more energy. I really need to get back into the habit of exercising everyday. Not only will it help reduce the stress in my life, it will also help me lose some of this weight I've been carrying around.

If you find yourself stressed out and miserable, don't hesitate to check out this website. Even if you only take away one way to manage your stress, that will be one step in the right direction.
