STRESS MANAGEMENT

Lately, I’ve been a stress wreck. Maybe this is just how it's supposed to be right now. The minute I started thinking this way, it was like I wiped that heavy stress off my shoulders. My body is screaming at me because of exhaustion. I pretty much refuse to be a victim to negative thinking nowadays, so I’ve been looking for ways to reduce stress. Whenever worries and anxiety overwhelm your life, people tell you, “Just relax.” Thanks, and that’s a wise advice you could ever hear but how the heck would you do that. When I'm stressed out or having a bad day, I take several deep breaths and then I create a mental time-out. I talk to myself and say, I can do this and that I’ll be over it. Being comfortable seems impossible when you’re feeling heavy and enslaved. And we find it a little hard to put it into practice to just possibly relax and never think of it. This writing is a stress buster for me, where I could air my inner thoughts. Everyday is a struggle. The choice is to always have positive thoughts and that there’s a rainbow always after the rain.

I n the course of my being, I have embraced my flaws and I feel more confident. Knowing these words, “I can”, “I will”, I am able”, and “I am ready”, I would be able to dwell on positive thoughts and not to waste precious times. I’m into grips with the elements of emotions. I am a person of extremes. I’ve been knocked down figuratively and got back up many times over. Who am I really? I am a nobody. I know nothing; no one knows who I truly am. No one but me. Not everybody gets me and I don’t try to push myself on people. I’m a lot tougher now. I’m not talking about tough in terms of taking a punch or hitting someone else. I’m talking about endurance. Tough is not how hard you can hit somebody but what you can endure. I’ve endured a lot. I am an angel with a shotgun. Thanks to a friend, for giving the idea to use those words. I can be as kind as an angel or a good person but once I'll get mad, I can be mean or dangerous. I am naive. I am like an empty jar, and I am open to learn anything, to gain a lot of lessons to learn. Everything that happens around me is a miracle. 

Most of the people associate miracle with supernatural happenings but for me , every new day is a miracle of God.  So often I’ve taken for granted the daily miracles I’ve been given.  As I get older, I become more aware of the miracles that God does all around me.  It causes me to live with a deeper sense of gratitude in my heart. Miracles do happen, somewhere, every second. And I now look around me all the time at this amazing Earth we live on and think, this is no coincidence! When negative emotions begin growing out of control and taking over ones life, emotional stress comes in. Therefore, I alone could be the only one who could surpass feeling this. The miracle is inside our mind. It is just an idea away. 

 Everything we need to know about increasing miracles can be summarized by honestly facing  stressful emotions; use positive thoughts to stay in balance; take positive action to overcome any challenge and to  hold to positive belief systems that give us  hope, faith, and peace of mind. Whatever problem you are facing, it's important to just face it. Reality is what we should embrace. It is true that we always want a miracle coming from Higher Being but little did we know that God gave us wisdom to understand what kind of miracle is suited in our lives. Life is too short to allow emotional stress to control you anymore. Life is too short to spend a majority of it feeling depressed over something within. We always have the key to unlock it. People who claim to be sad choose to be sad. So whenever I feel I have a problem, I say, Hey problem! I have a big God!

Nothing's perfect, the world's not perfect. But it's there for us, trying the best it can; that's what makes it so damn beautiful.

“I am strong because I am weak. I'm beautiful because I know my flaws. I'm a lover because I am a fighter. I'm fearless because I have been afraid. I'm wise because I have been foolish. & I can laugh because I have known sadness.”
