What are the things that cause you stress? Sometimes our stress is caused by things that happen around us...these are the things we truly cannot control. Sometimes our stress is caused by things we do. I once heard someone say that 95% of the things we worry about never happen, and the 5% that do happen, we don't have control over anyway. So don't worry about it.
Let's look at what is causing us stress. My major source of stress seems to be things that I impose upon myself. Too many commitments--it's okay to say no! Not enough money to pay the bills--get on a budget/make a career change/start a side business. I don't know. A lot of things can cause stress, but really only if we let it. More than anything, we have a choice in how we respond to life's circumstances.
The point I'm trying to make in all this is that when you get to the place where you are stuck in a stressed feeling all the time, that should be a signal that something needs to change. So STOP! Look at what is actually causing the stress...and here's the crazy part...do something to change it.
Right now. Stop. Look at the top 3 things that cause you stress. Write it down. If you don't know how to fix it, ask for help. Change something. What will you change today? Comment below.
