5 Steps To A Stress-Free Life (Part 3)

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰 – 𝗜 𝗚𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗧𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝘀𝗲… Take It In Your Hands – Stress is commonly caused because we allow another person or situation to control our thoughts, feelings, and attitudes. Imagine you were told that during the whole day, you would lift your hand or shut your eyelids when someone told you to do so. Would that not to make you feel uncomfortable? Don’t allow someone else or an external situation to control your thoughts, which give rise to your feelings and attitudes. Take the control in your hands. What that means is we create our thoughts but don’t let them be negative reactions to actions of others or to event changes around us.

➤People will be negative and situations will not be as I desire at times, but my thoughts should be positive, peaceful, and powerful at all times. Stress will disappear when we begin to be our own masters at every moment. To create a stress-free affirmation every morning – I am the ruler and controller of my own thoughts. Today my every single thought will be my own positive creation. I will not allow anyone or any negative situation to overpower my mind and weaken this creation. I will respond positively, not react negatively.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱 – 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗜𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 – Freedom from stress will never take place until you stop accepting that a little bit of stress is good or normal. We are all used to holding on to stress and allowing it to overpower our minds so much that it suffocates us mentally and emotionally. Stress is an unnatural emotion. The reason why we feel it is normal and good is because we have been conditioned by the world around us, the information it provides and the lifestyle it has set for us. Problems and challenges are normal in our current lifestyles.

➤But we feel that it is impossible to overcome them by keeping a light mind, which is free from stress. For some, stress thrills, but do remember that in the long run, it kills me and the efficiency of the tasks I perform. For some, stress motivates me, but at some point in time, it dominates me and people around me to make relationships difficult. For some, stress strengthens, but as you go on, it creates illnesses in the mind and the body which weaken you.
