How I Will Be Rich

During this session and a few following it he proceeded to pop my neck into place and perform heating treatments. The thing he noticed, and I have always known but tried to hide from myself, is I am too stressed and tensed up. By keeping tense and feeling on edge all the time, he said that an injury like this would take much longer to heal than normal. He asked what I needed to do to take it easy and just relax. As he asked this, I began to ask myself the same question. Maybe some quiet time away from people, laying and watching TV, or even throwing down a cold one after work. All of these seemed like pretty decent, but temporary solutions to me. Realizing these ideas wouldn’t hold me over too long, I thought of a few other ideas to help me relax and just keep my stress level down. Here they are…

• Use that nose. Take some deep breaths, but through your nose. No matter what situation you’re in, you can’t get too worked up by calming your breathing. I’ve used this same technique to calm myself while running, too. Since you are limiting the amount of oxygen coming in, you are forced to slow yourself down to that level. Give it a shot!
• Maintain your surroundings. Keep the area you do work and spend most of your time clean. Giving some time to organize what’s around you can take a large load off your back. If you keep coming home to a mess, you’ll end up dreading wanting to ever come back until the problem is solved. While you’re at it, throw a new light in the room with you; By having a well-lit area you’ll be much more attentive and cheerful.
• Exercise that body. In this part I’m saying to go nuts out there and workout like mad, just get your legs moving. This isn’t supposed to be something you have to dread, it is more of a liberating time. Try to go outside if you can and go for a walk or run in a place you’ve never been before. It’ll give you a little sense of adventure while you’re at it.
• Eat healthy. Stay away from all of those fast food places as much as you can. By having a better diet, you will overall feel much more clean. With this you’ll have much more energy and recover from whatever injuries you have much quicker.
• Spend time with the right people. Take a look at what kind of attitudes your circle of friends have. You want to spend most of your time with optimistic people. Having them around will definitely rub off onto you.
• Don’t sweat the small stuff. Learn to understand that there are things in your life that aren’t worth the struggle of trying to make perfect. Hold yourself back from these annoyances and more often than not you’ll never get bugged by them again. A lot of things work out themselves.

I know when I read blogs that have an endless list of helping tips, I always become overwhelmed. My mind gets a little cluttered and I forget most everything I read. If you feel a little stressed at times, try a couple of these tips at a time until they feel like second nature… I definitely will be doing the same.
