Knowing How To Deal With Stress

 Life is filled with stressful and uncomfortable situations, so why not learn to navigate through these stressful times. Life is filled with real pressure and stresses and it is never ending especially in this pandemic. 

As I am writing this blog, I am listening to gospel music and meditating on my faith. Whatever it takes for me to reach my calm place. There are times that I have to reach in my bag of tools, and take out something that will help me get through the stresses of life. Today, I need spiritual therapy and so praise & worship music is just what the doctor ordered for me. I am also cuddled up with my animal friend, so I am also getting some animal therapy. It's one of those days, but I am using some of the tools I have to get through this tough time. 

We all have stress triggers and I am no different. Stress triggers can be people, things or situations that trigger stress. I know what my stress triggers are and so I am doing my best to push through it. The best way I push through stressful time is to use positive tools to get through this difficult time. I must always take accountability for myself, I take accountability by adopting positive habits and asking for help if I need it.

Stress Triggers may not be totally avoidable, but I can practice self care by refocusing on positive coping skills. Stress management for me is a journey and not a destination, it is something that has to be practiced and applied daily. I hope that you too know what your stress triggers are and are managing it well. Wishing you good health and happiness always!
