Stress is a Choice

Stress is a Choice
I have to admit that the last couple of weeks I've let work stress take over.  Every problem or situation brought to me, felt overwhelming, even situations that I've dealt with in the past. 
​After a long "pep talk" with my youngest son, I realized that I was taking on the responsibilities of others and stressing over problems that they themselves need to solve. 
​​I guess there is such a thing as trying to be a little too responsible. You can be there to help but you do not need to shoulder it all. Being responsible is important but not to your own detriment. 
​
Whenever I feel stressed, anxious or even upset, I always practice this breathing exercise.
​As you take a deep breath through your nose you breath in a positive thought and also through your nose breath out a negative one.  For example:
Confidence in - Fear out
Positivity in - Negativity out
Strength in - Weakness out
and one of my favorite lately is to breath in the Quiet brain and exhale the Monkey brain out.
​A monkey brain is a brain that has way too many thoughts going through it and often all at one time.  This can take away your concentration, zap your energy, make you anxious and bring in more stress.
We all have moments when we need to tell our monkey brain to go take a walk and start practicing retraining our brain to be more quiet so we can better cope with our stress.

​Stress can rear its head at any moment in our lives.  We all feel it from time to time, work, finances, relationships ​ and more.  The idea is learning how to best deal with it and that ​stress is a choice. ​
​Please share this "Stress is a Choice" video with others.

Yup, stress is obviously a choice. I don't think it's your state of affairs. Mostly your response to these set of conditions will determine your degree of stress. Well, the magnitude of stress varies with the change in response and that is the main reason why the same circumstance does not cause the same intensity of stress in everyone. Moreover, I can say that it's a matter of how an individual apprehends the ball game and how he four-flushes to what is about to occur. Better, you should learn stress management tactics from a certified coach so that you can handle the stress effectively.
