Easy Meditations, Tips and Exercises for Reducing Stress

ways to deal with 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

Meditation helps in 2 ways

  • It reduces the physical signs of stress.
  • 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.

The easy meditation techniques show you that thoughts really aren't that important.

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.
