Trust me on this one, I’ve had my share of stress! People have often asked me how I am able to keep going. Well, one of the biggest reasons is that I don’t allow stress to pile up in my life. I’ve learned to get rid of the things that are totally out of my control. I actually spend time destressing. I consider destress time to be as valuable as eating well. You need to take the time to do it!

When the stresses of life begin to pile on you, there are many negative health affects. We cannot and actually should not eliminate all stress from our lives, but there are healthy things you can do to help rid yourself of the stress that is taking residence on your body.

#1 Learn to identify the things you don’t have control over. These include things like, behavior of others. Whether they are a child, spouse, co-worker, or friend, you cannot control their behavior. So try to remember when their behavior is causing you stress, that you don’t need to hold on to that. Let it go. Give it up. Don’t hold on! Flick it off!

#2 Fear – There is no reason to be afraid. Fear is simply anticipating something that hasn’t happened with your body reacting as if it is happening to you. This is self-induced stress. Flick it off!

#3 Not taking care of yourself. If you don’t take care of yourself, your stress level will be far greater than if you exercise, eat right, and don’t do things that damage your body. If you are dealing with a habit you want to break, Flick it off!

Okay, so this is a little goofy – but I had fun making it. Maybe if you watch it, it will remind you to “Do the Stress Flick.”
