"In reasonable doses, stress can enhance our performance, focus our attention on trouble spots, and motivate us to take worthwhile action." Lynda Wallace
Ways to handle stress:
1. Exhale fully. Most breathing problems are caused by not exhaling fully. A suggested exercise is breathe in to a count of 4, breathe out to a count of 8.
2. Gain psychological distance from your difficulties by picturing yourself 5 years into the future. Dream up who you will be with, what you are doing, and what is around you.
3. Work up a sweat. Exercise stimulates our brains to release endorphins, the feel-good hormone.
4. Look for the good. This is an excellent practice: to always look for the good among the circumstances in your life.
5. Be part of the good. People who help other people see the world as a better place.
