16 Recommendation for reducing stress
Make a list of stress triggers and learn how to recognize them. Consciously try to recognize them and learn to relax in these situations.
Always be careful to be cheerful.
When feeling stressed try to relax by slowing down the thoughts, breathe in peace..... breathe out stress.
Take regular breaks from work if working at home
Reduce tension by allowing the self more leisure time. Become more active by going for walks or take up a hobby or getting involved in a sport.
Reduce meat products and reduce the intake of refined foods such as refined sugar and white breads. Eating fruits and vegetables is good for the mind, body and the environment.
Talk soft sweet and less, avoid gossiping and criticizing others.
Learn to enjoy your own company by talking positively to the self, I am a wonderful person, I can change my self and make my life a success.
Choose cheerful and optimistic friends who will help you think positively, avoid people who are always angry and criticizing others.
Always strive to improve the self, blaming others for your troubles is like arguing with the person in your bathroom mirror.
If being overweight creates stress try to consider that your body is simply the vehicle of your soul. Your body may not be a sleek "Porsche" but it does get you from A to B. Considering the self separate from the body will reduce the stress of being overweight and enable you to adopt a more positive outlook.
Remember you can do what ever you wish if you have a benevolent attitude.
Treat yourself regularly, have a massage, try yoga, mediation, aromatherapy or any alternative therapy.
If there has been a ongoing medical problem seek a second opinion form another Doctor or arrange a visit to a specialist.
Seek help with any mental problem that persists, visit a counselor, psychologist, hypnotherapist or ring a psychic.
Be positive, light and happy: think it and you will become.
Quotes and recommended readings
We have to be the changes we want to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi
The love that lies latent within is that of our original soul conscious nature. Only when we are soul conscious can we give unconditionally. Dr. Roger Cole (1999) Mission of Love .
Anxiety focuses not around the issues themselves, but around the uncertainty of their outcome. And as we think about positive thoughts, we destroy anxiety around us just as a larger wave will removes a smaller wave. Mike George 1999
Learn to Relax Can you teach me how to fly? The trick, according to Chaing, was for Jonathan to stop seeing himself as trapped inside a limited body and that his true nature lived as perfect as an unwritten number. Richard Bach 1972 Jonathan Livingston Seagull
To be upset over what you don't have... is to waste what you do have. Ken Keyes Handbook to Higher Consciousness
Your soul therefore-- the soul that you are --the soul that you are a part of is far more creative and miraculous phenonmenon than you previously supposed. Jane Roberts 1979 Seth Speaks.
To resolve problems by giving up or going away is to deceive yourself. The same difficulty will occur with someone else or in another situation. The most elevated effort for remaining Honest in relationships is to transform whatever weakness are in you. This is an art which can be learned by anyone. You only need to want to ! Dadi Janki 1999 Wings of the Soul.
Be like a very small joyous child living gloriously in the ever present now, without a single worry or concern about even the next moment of time. Eileen Caddy The Dawn of Change.

Mindy ~ thanks for posting this. As I am not a big fan of the "holiday season", I understand where your stress is coming from.
One thing I have been doing is going to the "Inspiration/Religious" section of bookstores to find uplifting books to read. Sure, a lot of the are fluff ~ but they are feel good fluff at a time of year I could use it. LOL!!! _________________
