From the last post, How To Destress Yourself; The First Step<\/i><\/a>, you should have looked at the stressful habits, or characteristic, and determined which ones you are sustaining.  When you discover which stressful trait you are maintaining then you have begun the awareness, which is the first step to destress yourself<\/a>. <\/p>\n

So, now that you know your stressful habits what do you do with them.<\/p>\n

Well, I will tell you.  You must learn to eliminate your stressful characteristic and replace it with the successful practice, which is the opposite behavior.<\/p>\n

STRESSFUL HABIT VS. SUCCESSFUL PRACTICE (AKA OPPOSITE BEHAVIORS)<\/b><\/p>\n

Angry vs Peaceful<\/p>\n

Irritable vs Easy Going<\/p>\n

Frustrated vs Composed<\/p>\n

Sad vs Happy<\/p>\n

Anxious vs Relaxed<\/p>\n

Uptight vs Calm<\/p>\n

Drinking vs Sober<\/p>\n

Smoking vs Nonsmoker<\/p>\n

Over Eating vs Eating for Energy<\/p>\n

Reacting to situations with doubt, fear, and worry vs having confidence, faith, and hope<\/p>\n

Being closed minded (unteachable) vs being open minded (teachable)<\/p>\n

Being apathetic and indifferent about others and self vs being loving and caring towards others and self<\/p>\n

Having a racing mind vs having a quiet mind<\/p>\n

Having very negative thoughts vs having very positive thoughts<\/p>\n

Experiencing negative emotions vs experiencing positive emotions<\/p>\n

Being very critical vs being very complimentary<\/p>\n

Mastering doubt vs mastering faith in life, others, and self<\/p>\n

Getting offended easily vs being more understanding towards people’s imperfections<\/p>\n

Not intentionally setting goals vs Never Ending Goal Setting<\/p>\n

Looking at what is wrong vs looking at what is right<\/p>\n

Too serious about life vs having fun and being playful<\/p>\n

Accepting illness vs eliminating illness<\/p>\n

The awareness is knowing your stressful habits, discovering the opposite, successful behavior, and setting the goal to eliminate the bad and replace it with the good.<\/p>\n

This is the first step to destress yourself<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope that this is helpful.<\/p>\n

Have a great day and don’t forget to have fun and be playful.<\/p>\n
