For starters, I can relieve a lot of my stress by dumping limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs are those things I believe about myself that place limitations on my abilities.
Question: Is it possible to relieve stress?
Answer: Yes. But, before I go on if your level of stress is serious, consult your physician. But, if you think you can take charge of your stress, here are a few things that can help.
- Learn to have a
sense of humor
- Try yoga: no legs behind the neck here
though
- Aroma therapy works wonders
- Exercise for 30 minutes
- Take a walk in the fresh air
-Listen
to some relaxing music
- Try dance and creative movement
- Eat Chocolate, eat it in moderation or open a candy bar
and just smell it
- Relaxation & deep breathing exercises
provide immediate relief
- Take a six minute vacation
(let your mind wander freely)
- Communicate: talking with friends, family, a counselor, or a
member of the clergy about your
feelings is a healthy way to relieve stress
- Set more realistic goals: for yourself and
others (those close to you)
- Develop a hobby: writing, blogging, fishing, knitting, photography, woodworking, anything.
Do something fun with your hands
Find your inner peace - - learn how to relieve your stress by finding what works best for you.

DeleteTake a deep breath! You don't have to decorate ya know, especially if no peeps are coming by. Lowers my stress level a lot, especially when working extra shifts. Just do what YOU want to do. Merry Christmas for YOU! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteHi there, Linda. I'm tickled to see you and I agree with you. I'm thinking seriously about NOT decorating since I'm not expecting company. Thank you, I appreciate this touching comment! It’s really nice that you stopped in to read here and to leave this sweet comment.
DeleteThese are all fabulous ideas. I love the chocolate one a lot. I've been under a lot of stress lately too and have to slow down. No Christmas tree at our house this year. There was no room with our termite problem having to be solved.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you, Kay. I love the chocolate idea a lot too. I’m delighted that you visited my blog. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post and for sharing here. Your sharing is very motivating.
DeleteGood ideas.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and commenting. That’s nice of you.
DeleteIt's too bad Christmas is so stressful. I'm sure many of these tips are helpful, but sometimes one has to look at the root causes. Is it really a good thing for almost everyone to get this stressed out every December engaging in rituals that no longer have much meaning to most of them? Would the people for whose benefit you're doing it want you to put such a burden on yourself, or are they equally stressed and resentful at feeling obligated to do all their own Christmas stuff?
ReplyDeleteAt some point many years ago my own family came to an unspoken agreement that we just weren't going to participate in most holiday stuff any more. No more fretting about finding things to buy for people who didn't really want or need them, no more putting time and effort into traditions that meant nothing to us. It saved a lot of money -- and stress.
Hey there, Infidel. I’m happy that you visited my blog today. Thank you for taking the time to come by to read my post and for sharing your insights with us. Your sharing is truly thought-provoking."
DeleteThank you. I should amend my comment to say that, of course, if children are involved, that's different because they can get a lot of fun out of Christmas. But holidays tend to steadily expand their demands (so that retailers can make more money off of them), and when it's not for the kids, I think it's OK to resist that.
DeleteThis is another great point, Infidel . . . when children are involved, things should be colorful, bright, and as festive as one can achieve. I totally agree with you on this.
DeleteMerry Christmas to you and your loved ones! This post is so joyful and inspiring to read. Thank very, very much!
ReplyDeleteI liked what you wrote about having a sense of humor, it'certainly helps in many situations. I need to learn relaxation and breathing but I am lazy. Either way, my very best wishes to you in this Christmas season!
Hi, Kaya, so good to see you. I’m thrilled that you came by today. Thank you for taking the time to come over to read my post and especially for sharing your heartwarming words here. Your sharing is very motivating."

DeleteI so enjoyed reading your post. Stress can creep up on us every once in awhile. I guess that's why I took up crafting as I can really get into it and forget about every thing else. As I told our family, as long as we are together and everyone is well we don't need any decorations. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Just sit back and enjoy!
