Too Many Stressors? Don't Let The Chaos Run Your Life!

Use It Or Lose It Does Not Apply.
We have already learned that it is our endless list of stressors and not stress itself that is causing our daily stress nightmare.You might say, "I'm so stressed out!" And a friend might ask, "What's stressing you out?" So you begin to recite the list. You talk about your marriage, your kids, your job, your renovations on your house, your money problems, your family problems, your health problems and your latest diet. It would probably take less time to tell your friend a list of things that are not stressing you out. The list is long and each item is huge and there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel. So what do you do? You feel overwhelmed. You feel powerless. Things are getting worse not better and you are really starting to become scared of life. You are feeling depressed and tired and so you make an appointment with your doctor. Maybe he or she can prescribe something to help you feel better. In the back of your mind, you know that drugs for anxiety or depression won't help and will probably cause more damage than good in the long run, but what else can you do? You are under so much pressure and you feel so stressed out. The pressures in your life have clearly taken control of your existence. If only you had a way to get some of those stressors off your list or at least make a few of them a little bit smaller. If only you had some idea of where to start. A few more problem solving skills would certainly help but where do you get those from?
