MANAGING STRESS Part 3

Accepting the things you can't change:

1. Don't try to control the uncontrollable. We can't control how other people behave but we can control how we react.

2. Look for the upside. Try to look for opportunities for personal growth. Mistakes are inevitable. Learn from the mistakes.

3. Learn to forgive. Forgiveness is recognizing that you were wounded, not sweeping it under the carpet. It is better to free yourself from bitterness rather than holding another person hostage.

Make time for fun and relaxation:

1. Set aside time for relaxation. This must be intentional.

2. Connect with people that fill you up not drain you.

3. Try to do something you enjoy every day.

4. Keep your sense of humor. Don't take yourself so seriously.

Adopt a healthy lifestyle:

1. Exercise regularly

2. Eat healthy

3. Reduce caffeine and sugar.

4. Get enough sleep.

Hopefully these last three blogs have been helpful in your journey to a more balanced and less stressed life.
