Instant Stress Relief - a Simple Way to Manage Your Stress
July 17th, 2008 Subscribe To Our Feed
Want a way to get instant stress relief? This method is simple and fast, and it works for anything which is a source of stress, whether it’s related to your job, your relationships, or your finances.
I love this way of beating stress. All you need is a notebook and a pen.
How to Get Instant Stress Relief for Simple Worries
When something bothers you, write it down in your calendar, and make a time for dealing with it: yes, you’re making an appointment to deal with a worry. That time could be today, tomorrow, or at any other time.
The important thing is that you’ve made an appointment with yourself to manage this worry.
Now you’ve made the appointment, forget about it. Don’t think about this worry - leave the management to your subconscious mind. You’ll be amazed that when the appointed time arrives (and often before), you’ve got the perfect solution.
This stress relief tactic works especially well for those worries which wake you up in the middle of the night - just write the worry down, with a time to deal with it - and go back to sleep.
Get Stress Relief for Ongoing Challenges
Some challenges are impossible to fix all at once. If your job is an ongoing source of stress, and you know you need to find another job, this situation won’t be fixed instantly.
Or perhaps you’ve just discovered that you have an illness, and this is causing you stress.
You can deal with these complex situations and ease stress by using a notebook and pen too.
Start by writing down your worry: “I’m worried about quitting my job”; “I’m ill”.
Underneath this, right down the perfect outcome: “I’ve got a great new job at a good salary”; “I’m now in perfect health and I feel great.”
On another page, write your perfect outcome again. Rule a line down the center of the page. On the left side, head the column Liabilities, and head the right hand column Assets.
In the Liabilities column, write down everything that blocks your perfect outcome, and on the right hand column, write down all the resources you have which will help you to achieve your perfect outcome.
Start another page, and title it with your perfect outcome. Now just start writing about how your assets will help you to overcome all the challenges to your perfect outcome.
Once you’ve completed this exercise, you should feel confident. Your stress will be just about gone. Remove any remaining stress by adding the tasks which will help you to achieve your perfect outcome to your calendar.
Everyone suffers from stress, but you can manage it when you use these simple techniques. So what are you waiting for? Write down a stress right now.

Eat for Stress Relief - 5 Foods to Calm You Down
July 15th, 2008 Subscribe To Our Feed
If you’re jittery bundle of nerves, start eating for stress relief. The following five foods will calm you down and make you feel fit enough to handle whatever life can throw at you.
1. Avocados Lower Your Blood Pressure
Stress is a great excuse to indulge in creamy guacamole. Not only will you get instant stress relief from this green marvel, you’ll also do your heart good. Avocado contains both monounsaturated fat, and potassium, which can lower your blood pressure.
2. Oats, Your Serotonin Enhancer
Just like your mother told you, porridge is good for you. Oats contain carbohydrates which are absorbed slowly, and this enhances the serotonin-producing abilities of your brain. Serotonin is your body’s own stress-relieving chemical.
So if you know you’ll have a busy, high-pressure day, take a few moments to eat a bowl of porridge or muesli before you leave the house.
3. Oranges - Fast Stress Relief
Oranges for stress relief, who knew? It turns out that vitamin C relieves stress by returning your blood pressure and levels of cortisol (a chemical produced by the body when you’re under stress) to normal quickly.
4. Salmon Keeps Cortisol and Adrenaline in Check
Salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, and they keep cortisol and adrenaline (another chemical your body produces when you’re under stress) in check.
If you hate fish, you can buy capsules of omega-3, but fresh salmon is better for you.
5. Skim Milk, Calms You and Relieves PMS
Do you turn into a fire-breathing dragon at that time of the month? Skim milk not only calms you down at any time, but it’s especially useful when you’re suffering the irritability and mood swings of PMS.
Here’s an added tip: if your stress is giving you insomnia, a glass of skim milk will help sooth you to sleep.
Everyone suffers from stress. The above five foods will not only help you to manage stress, but will also improve your general health, so that you’re calm and serene, even in the midst of the chaos of your life.

Going for a walk in your local park is a great form of stress relief. But it turns out that you may not even need the real thing.
Look out the window for stress relief - reports:
“New research from Human Interaction with Nature and Technological Systems shows simply looking at a natural environment slows heart rates. The study, conducted at the University of Washington, observed subjects while looking at a nature scene through a window, the same scene on a high-definition plasma television and a blank wall.”
