Post Discussion: Managing Stress is not an easy task as it seems- How

13 years ago | 3662 Views

With Stress: There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein

"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them." -  George Bernard Shaw

 

We realized after our discussions during the motivational movement today Saturday October 1, 2011 at www.visionsfm.com that stress is an individual response to a given situation. It is how each individual will deal with situations they face in life, how long they stay in a sorrowful mood, an angry mood, a depressed mood, a blaming mood..all depends on each individual’s choice. Yes its our choice how we choose to deal with this ONE LIFE we have, only one life.

Stress  is not generated by the situation itself. Everyone is different - some people plunge straightaway into the raging tides of a raging ocean, while others keep contemplating anxiously whether or not to jump across or wait until the raging tides subside. We also talked about the fact that there will be some stress situations that you can handle with others and there are some that you will have to cope with on your own.

The key to coping with stress is minding what you say and what you think about the situations. Do we have moments where life itself is not worth living..Yes, Do we face losses in our lives that we don’t understand and we get angry with God..Yes. Do we face divorces, separations and lose it all ..Yes. Do we experience very personal losses of losing children before they are born, not even getting pregnant or losing a child ..YES. God never promised that it will be a smooth road with no trials and tribulations, he however promised us that if we choose to depend on him and trust his plan..he will relieve us of the stresses we carry within us on a daily basis.

 

Below are 80 ways to cope with stress, you may add more as you see fit. Remember some will work for you and some will not.
