We have been talking a lot about being aware and mindful. In order to manage stress in our lives we need to be able to recognize the symptoms of chronic stress. Stress will always exist, it is apart of our lives. The part that can be managed is our reaction to stress. Do you fly off the handle? Or do you simmer for a time and then boil over?
Stress and health are intrinsically connected. I don't believe you can be healthy and stressed out. Physical exercise is a great for releaving stress. Meditation, yoga, walking are all beneficial. In our daily practice today we talked about taking "Time In", discover what works for you and dedicate yourself to practice.
If you want more tips on stress release, I recommend Dr. Ornish's website.
