Here are the ninth
and tenth ways to rapidly reduce your stress.
9.
Make life a journey.
Don’t rush life to reach the goal at the end. You will discover, as you
get older, time is truly the number one most wasted natural resource in
your life. It cannot be replenished, cannot be recycled, and most
certainly cannot be saved.
Try to make an adventure out of everything you do in life, so that each
day becomes an enjoyable learning and growing experience. Avoid wishing
time away as you feel impatient to finish a task, “just make it to the
weekend’, or “finally get to take a vacation”. For as an old proverb
notes, “every minute you wish away will forever be lost in time”.
10.
Contemplate your
spiritual self at least once every day. I believe each of us was “made”
for a purpose and that in order to reach our fullest potential in life,
we must work toward completion of that purpose. The human body is much
too complex to have been thrown together by chance and with no specific
design in mind. Indeed, your creator had both design and purpose. When
you believe in a higher order in life, faith can reduce stress in the
same way it can “move mountains”.
