Easy Meditations, Tips and Exercises for Reducing Stress
What are the best ways to deal with stress?
Stress management is easier if you know
what causes stress
. It's often not the situation you're in that's the problem. But you're reaction to it.
Take your work stress. Yes the situation might be awful. Your boss
might be demanding or over bearing. But it's your response that makes
you feel so bad - and leads to the familiar stress signs and symptoms
That's your racing heart, dry mouth and sweaty palms.
It shows you that you are not your thoughts.
Your thoughts cause most of your life stress. Thoughts like "I'm not
good enough" and "I can't do this". In many of us these thoughts circle
round our minds all day.
This is not positive thinking. I'm not saying you should repeat
positive affirmations to yourself. It's just a realisation that your
mind will carry on thinking like this. And that it doesn't have to ruin
your life.

I've love to hear how you got through the tough times. And maybe your experience can help others.
So why not tell me your story. I'll publish it and other readers' stories on this page. The best story will be featured on the Learning Modern Meditation homepage.
