We all know that stress is the greatest contributor to illness but it affects us on many levels and in many ways and can be all encompassing. Stress can come from current situations, jobs and relationships but it can also come from unhealthy beliefs and habits, past trauma and even feeling uninspired and unfulfilled. It’s no wonder it is universal and pervasive.
There are many things we can do to reduce or eliminate stress immediately, such as meditation, self-hypnosis and exercise to name a few, but one of the most impactful things we can do is an occasional stress inventory. This means writing down everything that causes stress, temporary or permanent, and figuring out a strategy to handle it. If it is an unhealthy relationship, either shift it, heal it or even maybe let it go. If it is your own perception, find tools to help you change it in an empowering way. In any case, see that you are in control and find a way to improve each issue. Some things may take some time to find a solution but your intention will get your brilliant subconscious mind working on the problem for you. When our lives are more aligned and happier overall, less effort is needed to recover from our day.
