The Top 3 Most Common Tips that Help Reduce Your Daily Stress
Let’s talk about how by knowing some simple stress-reducing tips and practicing them on a daily basis can make you feel more comfortable in your own skin which will further on result in living a healthier and happier life. We are all unique in nature and react in different ways triggered by different things in life, but certainly there are some common things that are important and useful for most of us.
I have struggled a lot in my life trying to be a perfect human being. I even neglected my own needs and desires in some occasions when I wanted to receive the approval of the society and my closest friends. I read a lot of books on personal development and growth because I knew deep inside myself that life might be better and simplified.
Based on my own experience and self-observation work I found out some of the best methods and practices to stay on track. Here are the 3 most common tips that you can use when something in your surroundings is not the way you want it to be.
1. Do not take anything personally, because you are only an actor in somebody else’s movie. In fact, each woman is a whole unique universe and makes her own movie running in her head telling you various stories about her own life. There is nothing wrong with that because we are all different in nature and project our own beliefs and expectations, our background and childhood patterns to other people seeing ourselves in them like in mirrors. So, it is obvious that my life story will be different from yours and if I have some expectations about the way you react in a certain situation and you do not meet them or you react in a way that is unexpected or unacceptable for me, things can go far beyond normal and out of control. All this causes trouble, anger, disappointment, anxiety and brings much stress to us on a daily basis.
2. The meaning you give to people and situations you have to deal with in your life journey. We are set up by default to judge and criticize ourselves and others by giving qualifications and putting labels assuming that something is good of bad. But people and situations in our reality are not good or bad by themselves: it is our attitude that makes them look that way and when all this is not only mentally but also emotionally charged things go in a wrong direction.
I have written a lot of stuff about the Mirror Theory stating that everything in your surroundings acts like a mirror and reflects something we have deep inside ourselves on a subconscious level. So, it is time for you now to get rid of that obstacle /it could be a negative thought, a fear or some traumatic experience, it could be even a whole obsolete system of beliefs or bad habits or old patterns of behavior/, release this inner litter and let it go in order to feel lighter and better, ready to receive new gifts and blessings which will improve your life and raise your awareness in these new life conditions we all encounter.
3. Do not make any assumptions of what other people think and say of you, because you are not in their head or in their physical body, so you do not have a real idea of their life situations, and it is better to ask them clarifying questions and just to listen to them in compassion: you will be surprised how many things you can reveal about them and how simple a “huge problem” could be.
Right now you can start to introduce these simple tips to your daily program in order to see how they work. Be open-minded and ready to observe the changes that will enter your reality. Try not to judge or criticize, just stay and observe how by using even one of them can change your life and will reduce tremendously your daily stressors.
Feel free to practice this for at least 21 days to see how your attitude to life will change and how you will begin to enjoy your life journey by itself instead of feeling stressed and overwhelmed at the end of your busy days. Wish you success!
