5 Ways To De-Stress Right Now

September 7th, 2011

1. Acknowledge the Root Cause of Stress. People aren’t the cause of pain, emotions are. Our emotions create our state of being. If someone hurt your feelings last week, that event is over, and you can choose to not talk to that person anymore. But if the emotion isn’t healed, the pain will remain.

2. Use Your Free Will To Choose Peace. Clients often ask, how do I let go of a negative emotion, like forgiving someone who was such a jerk to me? Emotional healing is governed by your choice to change your perspective and attach new, positive emotions to the experience. That doesn’t mean you condone horrible behavior, it only means you refuse to trade in your peace of mind and wellness for anything less than. Focusing on the pain keeps you tuned into the pain. But if you instead choose to see the lessons you learned, what you gained from a stressful or painful situation, you are then aligned with higher wisdom and begin to shift into a higher state of being. It’s a choice – a powerful choice – to release pain and focus on positive emotions. Then nurture these positive emotions through your words and actions.

3. Re-claim Your Power. Blame is one of the traps that halts our personal growth. When you blame someone else for a hardship, you’re pointing your finger at the person or thing that you believe has your power. That’s an awful lot of power to give someone! When you realize that your willingness, purpose, self-love and wisdom is your power to hold and harness, and that no one in actuality is able to take that away from you, then you become your true self again instead of part of someone else’s story.

4. Reflect On The Story of Your Life. There are many plots and dramas that unfold with our life lessons. The key is not to get caught up in the details of the drama for long. As I’ve learned in my medium practice, when spirits cross over, they aren’t interested in the details of who did what to whom, but in the bigger picture: what was I supposed to learn? How did it benefit me? How could I have done things differently? We feel stress when we’re focusing too much on the little details of drama and dismissing the bigger picture which provides us a positive message and opportunity to evolve.

5. Balance Your Expectations. Life is a balance of creating and surrendering. Instead of trying to control outcomes, which is likely to create stress, focus on what is in your control. It’s healthy to imagine healthy expectations: that what you want will be. It’s only when it doesn’t work out according to plan that we start to question everything and lose faith. Keep in mind there may be times in your life when you’re being asked to surrender your personal desires to learn a life lesson that serves your important purpose. You’re not being punished, you’re being educated. Hold positive expectations for yourself and your ability to overcome any adversity to enter a state of grace.
