SIMPLE, FREE OR CHEAP STRESS MANAGEMENT
by Morris Berg
The market is full of ways to help you manage stress. We have self-hypnosis, EFT, audio CDs, podcasts, books, subliminals, massage treatments, whirlpool baths and yes, life coaching. They are all good.
However what did people do to relax and unwind before all those things were in vogue?
Here is a list of ordinary and cheap or free ways of alleviating stress:
Taking deep breaths.
Abdominal breathing.
Meditation.
Listening to your favourite music.
Talking to friends.
Singing.
Cycling.
Humour.
D.I.Y.
Creative writing.
Puzzle games.
Sudoku.
Visiting an art exhibition or museum.
Reading for pleasure.
Sewing or handicrafts.
Watching a good movie.
Scrapbooking.
Quilting.
Playing board games or their computer equivalents. And yes, enjoying the latest game consoles (borrow your kid's some time and have a go).
Dancing.
Exercise.
Getting out into the countryside, to the beach, or by the lake.
Any hobby that involves counting, cataloguing or sorting - to the unconscious mind, this can be a metaphor for putting things in order. For example, if you do cross stitch you start by sorting wool. If you collect stamps you sort and catalogue the material you get.
This is why some people start sorting out their drawers or cupboards when stressed - it isn't the compulsive cleaning but the sorting that matters. So a little decluttering can actually be destressing!
People who did trainspotting or plane spotting used to be the butt of jokes. Today an "anorak" means a geek, and if you hang around at a railway station or airport long enough acting suspiciously, the police will probably want a word with you. Bird watching is still tolerated, if you don't mind being called a twitcher.
If you can't find the time to do any of the above, or don't have the motivation to do any, then over-the-counter bought solutions such as self-hypnosis recordings, e-books and so on probably won't help. You won't use them properly or you'll forget about them. You might have a whole collection of them already and still be the same.
So what then?
Get a coach - someone who can help you discover what the blocks are, and help you CHANGE. And loosen up.
What are you waiting for?
