Best Ways to Reduce Stress

I have fortunately happened upon a effective self help anxiety technique. Its easy and best of all successful! Life is full of stress for this parent of a teen – actually if you look up stress in the dictionary I am sure you will see a picture of a teenager. So any healthy ways of relieving stress are hugely beneficial.

One of my favorite stress reducing techniques is getting centered. What is ‘getting centered’? That is for you to figure out. Everyone has their own individual way to do this. Some even have more than one. But let me tell you once you figure it out, you will be able to start using it immediately.

Why do we have stress?

The main reason we have stress, in my opinion, is that our lives, or portions of our lives, are out-of-control. Finances, health, kids, time – these are all areas that can easily get overwhelming and quickly can get out-of-control. This is a complex, fast-paced, stress-filled world we live in, and there’s really no way around that unless you live by yourself on a desert island. I know I don’t have that luxury.

Any best ways to reduce stress?

Reducing stress is an indepth process. But handling it, is not so much. Getting centered is just such a way.

Centering is what exactly?

Deciding what you can do to have a sense of control over something in your life is getting centered. It usually is not a huge thing, like paying off all your bills, but more like something you can control right now that may not in itself need controlling. The size is irrelevant, it is the sense you gain of having control that does the trick.

Centering Ideas

Okay, what can you do that is calming or quieting and where you can feel you have completion when you are done? I do a couple of things to get centered – one is to mow the grass. Much to my kids chagrin, NOT!, I will never pass this chore down to them. Only to train them a time or two, but its mine, baby all mine! I feel so right after I am done mowing, just looking at that perfectly manicured lawn. I am centered.

Like I said you can have more than one stress reducing way and I do. I love making the bed! Military tight corners, smooth sheets and blankets. And the spouse gets centered here too as it is one less chore on her list.

Speaking of my wife, she too has a centering tool – cleaning the glass on our sliding door. When life is whacko, she sprints down the hall and grabs the cleaner and towels and goes to town. She gets it so clean our kids have been known to try to walk right through it! But boy is she centered.

Every paper clip has its place!

I know of a corporate bigwig who got centered by going through his paper clips and sorting the small ones from the large ones. When his secretary offered to do this mundane job for him, he politely declined. He knew this little secret kept him centered and at the top of his game!

So there you go. Is your life out-of-control? Well, figure out what gets you centered, and you’re well on your way to figuring out how to prevent stress.
