how you perceive it and how adequate you think you are to cope
with it. Confronting stress is a skill and an art. If you prefer to live
a happy and productive life, you have to learn how to cope with it.
Stress Facts

Let’s get started!
How come stress happens?
Tension is an inevitable part of life. Your stress can develop out of
any of the following three emotions-
1. Frustration - it's a state of dissatisfaction arising out of
unrealized needs or unsolved troubles. It's characterized by
feelings of tension or anxiety. For instance, you may be frustrated
due to the very much deserved promotion that you didn't get, a
disagreement with your boss, mounting up debt, or something as
simple as arriving tardy to the office. Aside from outside
circumstances, frustrations may be due to a few personality traits,
like unrealistic expectations, unwillingness to change, maybe it’s or
lack of accomplishments.
2. Conflicts - This is a circumstance when you're caught between
suitable but incompatible desires. For instance, you want
advancement in the work place, but are not willing to relocate to a
fresh and new city; you desire a penthouse but must get rid of
other luxuries that you're capable of savoring right now.
3. Pressure- This is the requirement that the business of living gets
to you and it is definitely inevitable. Job requires more time, kids

Sound familiar doesn’t it?
A big percentage of our energy use comes from the gas we utilize
to drive our cars. With gas prices surging higher by the day, driving
is costly not only in terms of energy utilization, but likewise
personal and family budgets.
Bicycling makes a simple and healthy alternative to driving and
may help save energy, which not only betters our country's energy
use problem, but may also help you hold onto your income in the
bargain.
Decide which errands you execute close to home. A lot of our daily
errands occur within a couple of miles for matters like grocery
store shopping, dry cleaning and banking. You are able to easily
execute these errands by bicycling rather than utilizing a car,
which will preserve energy and add a little fresh air and physical
exertion to your life in the bargain.
You could bicycle to work. If you live within bicycling distance of
your line of work, the advantages may be tremendous. You are able
to avoid the tension of expressway commutes and furnish a good

Encourage your small frys to bicycle. Rather than driving them
wherever they require to go, let them pedal there. You are able to
go with them to guarantee that they remain secure and ride home
with them whenever they're finished. This works particularly well
in reference to daily trips to school and assisting them in burning
up excess energy on the way home.
Search for local bicycle paths and scenic routes in your area.
Bicycles may go into parks and additional spaces that cars can not.
By utilizing them as part of your ride to work or on errands, you
are able to trim back substantially on travel time.
Utilize bicycling in conjunction with public transportation systems.
Subways, buses and train services are a fact of life in a lot of big
cities, but even the finest won't take you a hundred percent to your
door. A bicycle may make that last leg of your trip go more rapidly,
and a lot of public transit services have conveniences for bikers

lawsuits and heartaches.

While a few individuals can simply manage the demands directed at
them, other people are more likely to break down under the pressure.
What are the kinetics involved which grant one group to rally through
emotional angst, while the other group sinks when stress enters their
life? In seeking how stress and tension affects one’s welfare, we'll
explore numerous avenues and techniques on how to relieve stress
and tension. Furthermore, we'll talk about how to break away from
the cycle of stress-induced conduct; and to establish that stress, while
constantly present, can be contained and tackled.
Stress & Resiliency:
Individuals who come across stressful situations handle them in
different ways. While some individuals can dismiss it and progress in
life, untouched, other individuals become totally consumed by their
symptoms. Resilience is the technique of adjustment in the presence
of threats, and even the good news is that it can be learnt. Majority of
the people show resilience in the face of stressors.

13.
- 13 -
Being resilient does not mean that you don't feel the stress. Pain,
anxiety and emotional distress are the imperishable facts of life: It
can't be avoided. The trick is to defeat it and find pleasure and
happiness in life. You are able to learn Resilience: anybody can. There
are a few crucial elements that go into building one a resilient
individual.
Following are some of those factors:
Supportive relationships: It seems to be the most crucial factor:
Having loving and supportive relationships assists you in building
resilience in the face of hardships. Relationships that offer love, trust
and encouragement boost your resilience.
Taking critical action: It helps a good deal, if you set goals for yourself
and take steps based around to a realistic plan. If you're used to just
responding to the situations and are unable to look beyond the
stressful position you face, it's definitely going to add stressors in
your life.
Thinking positively: A resilient individual searches for opportunities
in difficulties. Anticipate a favorable result and take concrete steps to
reach the sought after outcome. If you can't do anything, hope and
pray for the positive result. Worrying and fussing wears, you out and
reduces your fighting capability, besides making you boring,
indecisive and unappealing.

Effective communication: Being capable to communicate clearly,
without concern and inhibition, being capable to voice your opinions
appropriately, letting other people recognize your expectations- this is
terribly crucial in being capable of surviving difficult situations.
Containing and handling emotions: Being capable to know all your
emotions, acknowledging when to tolerate stress and when to hold
back. In essence, knowing yourself better is a requirement of being a
resilient individual.
Probabilities are there's a TV in your household you feel you can't live
without. A lot of individuals flip on the TV daily without fail, and in a
few cases watch hour after hour of programming. Switching off the
TV may have quite a few advantages. There are ways to break loose
from the television set and spend more time engaging in other, more
productive, interests.
Record your preferred shows. Rather than sitting through
commercials, recording gives you the alternative to skip them all in
all. Additionally, if the show is atrocious in the first place you are able
to fast-forward to see if it's going to become any better, instead of
having to sit and wait through the total show.
Think to see if the shows are worth it, or if you're just looking on out
of tedium. For one week, bring forward the self-control to give up
viewing the shows that you watch on a regular basis. You will know at

15.
- 15 -
the end of the week which shows to go forward watching and which
shows were not significant enough to watch over again. Chances are
you will have at least one or two shows to do away with from your
viewing schedule per week.
Discover a fresh hobby. If there's something you are passionate about
doing, there's a probability you would be willing to switch off the TV
in favor of working on that hobby.
Schedule dates with other people for times when you are normally
watching TV. Whether it's having a fellowship night at home or going
to a weekly dinner with acquaintances, you are less likely to be in
front of the TV if there's someplace else to be and a commitment
you've made to others. Think about enrolling in a work out class or a
different type of course that will make sure to keep you out of the
house.
Get out and exercise. The advantages of heath, possible weight loss
and being active far outbalance sitting in front of the TV. Get into a
work out routine during the time when you'd commonly be watching
television programs. Exercise may be rather addictive; you might
wind up getting so involved with it that TV could become a remote
second when it comes to picking out something to do.
Watching too much TV may make you feel a little brain-dead says a
new study and it may also take years off your life.

The more time you spend watching television, the higher your risk of
dying at an earlier age -- particularly from heart conditions,
researchers found.
The subject area followed 8,800 grownups with no history of heart
condition for more than 6 years. Compared to those who watched less
than 2 hours of television per day, inhabit who watched 4 hours or
more were eighty percent more probable to die from heart conditions
and forty-six percent more probable to die from any cause.
Altogether, 284 individuals died during the study.
Each extra hour spent in front of the television set expanded the risk
of dying from heart conditions by eighteen percent and the total risk
of death by eleven percent.

I'm going to identify some of the major methods that will assist you in
building resilience and coping with stress. There are methods that
someone can apply to bypass the mental and physical reaction to
stress. There are also tools that people can apply to distress and
heighten their overall wellbeing.
The methods named here can be divided up into two categories, as
follows:
1. Relaxation methods and Self-hypnosis.
2. Coping with Stress
 Exercise
 Music
 Meditation
 Massage
Self Esteem is a crucial factor in conquering stress. Determining that
you are capable of meeting and conquering life's stressors is a good
start in building self-esteem. Also, a crucial part of self-esteem is
believing your worthy of love and happiness.
Signs of Low Self Esteem:
Go through the following list and consider how many of these reflect
your own thoughts.
 I do not like myself.
 I do not deserve love.

19.
- 19 -
 There's something wrong with me.
 I'm not worthy of respect from other people.
 It's tough for me to make eye contact with other people.
 I'm profoundly distressed when other people criticize me.
Did one of these sound like you? Did more than one sound like your
personality? If yes, then you have to take a few concrete steps to
better your self-esteem.
Why Low Self Esteem Increases Stress Levels In Your Life:
Low self-esteem steps up stress levels in your life due to two reasons-
1. You're constantly gauging yourself negatively. You do not permit
yourself to open up to felicity due to an ongoing damaging internal
dialogue.
2. You're constantly concerned about what others think of you and go
to unreasonable lengths to attain their acceptance and approval.
Confidence Vs. Self-Esteem: They Are Different!
Self-esteem is different from self-confidence in numerous ways. You
may be extremely successful in your chosen career and yet you still
find yourself feeling terrible. You need to be capable of loving yourself
to experience happiness. Several successful individuals are miserable
at heart and have terrible self-esteem. Low self-esteem makes it easier
for other people to manipulate you, and it also makes you terribly
unsure of your own feelings and opinions.

20.

What You Can Do To Improve Your Self Esteem?
Now, it must be obvious to you why it's important to work on your
self-esteem. Without high self-esteem, you'll be an unhappy
individual even if you've been able to achieve material success. Low
self-esteem makes it extremely tough for you to succeed in any
endeavor: being your own worst enemy, you'll be perpetually placing
obstacles in your own path.
Following are some of the things you should do to improve your self-
esteem:
1. Stop criticizing yourself. Learn not to condemn yourself for the
small slip-ups that we all are prone to make in our lives. You have to
accept mistakes as a necessary part of life.
2. Praise yourself when you do something great. Be overgenerous in
your praise, but it's crucial to be honest.
3. Whenever you undertake some activity, visualize yourself as being
successful in it.
Relaxation Methods: Physical & Mental

of stress. As a matter of fact, some stress is healthy: we all need a bit

There are countless rationalities why purchasing local food is both
rewarding and delightful, including savoring the taste of fresh foods,
improved health and nutrition, environmental stewardship, support

- 25 -
for family farms and rural residential areas, and guaranteeing animal
well-being.
There's likewise substantial peacefulness in knowing where our food
comes from. Among the greatest advantages to purchasing food
locally is having somebody to answer questions about how it was
grown and raised. What goes in that loaf of bread? May we be certain
that the pig that's now bacon lived a life without hurting? How do we
recognize those jalapeños are salmonella free?
Building up a kinship with local farmers gives us an "in" with our
local food scheme. At farmers' markets we may acquire answers to
queries like: When do tomatoes get into season? How may I utilize
celeriac? Frequently, we may take a tour of the farm our food comes
from. A few farmers are exhilarated to share their knowledge and
experience with their buyers.
Inquire about the challenges your local farmers face and what they're
doing to handle them. It does not have to be complicated. Inquire
about the weather! Any farmer will be proud of to discuss how the
growing season is going and how that affects the food they develop.
Knowing local farmers may go a long way to simplifying purchasing
local.
A different important cause to purchase local is to keep food miles to
a lower limit. "Food miles" refer to the length a food item travels from
the farm to your house. The food miles for particulars in the food

market are, on the average, twenty-seven times higher than the food
miles for goods purchased from local sources.
In the United States., the average food market's produce moves nearly
1,500 miles between the farm where it was farmed and your icebox.
About 40% of our fruit is created overseas and, even though broccoli
is grown all over the nation, the broccoli we purchase at the
supermarket travels an average of 1,800 miles to get in that location.
Notably, 9 percent of our red meat comes from foreign nations, a few
as far away as Australia and New Zealand.
Our food is trucked across the nation, dragged in freighter ships over
seas, and vaporized around the world. An enormous amount of fossil
fuel is burned to carry foods such long distances, releasing CO2,
sulfur dioxide, particulate matter and additional pollutants that
contribute to global climate change, acid precipitation, smog and air
and sea pollution.
The refrigeration called for to keep our fruits, veggies, dairy products
and meats from spoiling on their long journeys burn up even more
fossil fuel. In contrast, local and regional food schemes bring about
seventeen times less CO2.

Significance of Physical Activity in Handling Stress
These days life is busy: with deadlines and meetings and traffic, it is
difficult to find time for your own care. You begin ignoring your body,
and slowly signs of stress start showing on your body.
It becomes all-important to undo the harm and be prepared to
confront the consequences. Doing physical activity for twenty - thirty
minutes a day could undo several of the adverse effects of stress. Each
day physical activity not only makes you look and feel good and even
loose a few extra pounds. It can also make your life less trying.
Getting physical exercise can decrease anxiety by up to 50%. Suppose
half the tension is gone just because you took a morning run. While a
workout cannot do away with all the affairs you need deal with, it can
assist you in coping with your stress better.
Here are a few of the several reasons physical activity is awesome for
decreasing your tension and worries.
1. Physical activity improves your mood: physical exercise brings on
chemicals that make you feel happier and ready to confront the day. It
also increases blood flow to the brain; promoting this pleased,
energetic sensation. The better you feel about life, the less stress will
weigh you down.

29.
- 29 -
2. Physical activity brings about additional energy: Stress makes you
feel run down and exhausted throughout the day. If you exercise in
the morning, you will get an excellent energy boost to keep you going
in the late morning and afternoon. You may experience being
exhausted throughout the first few weeks of physical activity, but be
relentless and the energy will come.
3. Physical activity helps you sleep: there's nothing that decreases
stress more than a Great night’s sleep. Sleep not only recharges your
strained, aching muscles; it also refreshes your mind and helps you to
process information from the day. Getting more, higher quality sleep
on a regular basis will assist you coping with the challenges of day-to-
day life.
4. Physical activity allows time to think: many of the stress we
confront is from our own mind. Rather than working and mending
problems, we are worrying about them day in and day out. Physical
activity gives you time alone to center on your thoughts and clear
your head without a bunch of distractions. That way, after your work
out, you are able to get to work on mending a problem rather than
worrying about it
Finding the right exercises:
If you cannot do an aerobic workout, or just do not think it is enough;
try yoga or stretching or jogging. These activities are great for
soothing sore, tense muscles, clearing your mind, and relaxing you.
Plus, if you have no free time in the morning, these exercises can be

30.
- 30 -
done at night without keeping you from your sleep (they will likely
even help).
You can use the internet or just find a book or take a class that
shows you positions or exercises that are easy for you. You should
be able to find poses and movements that are associated
specifically to stress reduction and relaxation. So design a plan and
begin a regular workout routine. If you adhere to it, you will begin
to feel less stressed, less nervous, and more at ease very fast.

Meditation gives you balance of the mind
The harmony of mind is interrupted throughout times of stress.
Whether its stress related to your place of business, it is due to money
troubles, or it's due to other reasons, you start beginning to become
more and more irritable. If stressful times keep going for a long

worries. It makes your mind relaxed and gives you emotional and
mental clarity. If used for a long period, meditation contributes to

situation or start to feel that slight anxious feeling in the pit of your
stomach running through your system, try the following.

Choose a room which is calm and comfortable. Sit comfortably with
your head, neck and back straight. Put aside all damaging ideas and
center on the now. Close your eyes. Center on your breathing as the
air moves in and out. If you discover thoughts invading your mind, try
not to let them distract you from your breathing. Continue to be calm

until '4'. Then start again from '1.' You don’t need to adhere the
number four, it can be five or six or even seven. In any case, the
number shouldn't go beyond ten. It may cause mental confusion in

is perfect for starting out.

breath and the counting. You are able to use this exercise to
decompress. A lot of times, you’ll find yourself in a stressful position
at work, annoyed by the antics of a colleague, or feeling Overcome by
your life as a whole. You have to discover a ways to relax.

You’re acquainted with music for relaxation since your childhood. As
a child, your first encounter with music was mother's lullaby.
How the mother's lullaby comforts the irritability of a baby and sends
her gently to reassuring sleep. Who is not acquainted with the
relaxing affect of nature's sounds, be it birds' chirruping, the slow
gargling of a stream, or deep murmur of the river.

music is in our blood: we do not have to learn it to enjoy it! It's the
most mystifying non-verbal communication we all understand. Then

Wrapping Up
What is living simple? It's learning to live and work simply. It's a life-
style born out of a clutter-free environment. Living and working with
only what you love and require. It's producing an environment where
everything has a home, an aim, a function. It's saying "yep" to less
and "nah" to more. Simple living is freedom from our culture of a bit
much stuff, too little time.
Learn to Live a Low Stress Life. We all go through stress at one time
or another. Taking care of the self is a crucial part of living a low
stress life. Eat healthy food, keep away from things that cause tension
and anxiety, sleep well, do moderate physical activity, meditate
frequently, hash out your troubles with your sympathizers, make a
few beneficial friends, laugh frequently, do at least one good deed
each day.
Confronting stress can be challenging. Give yourself a break every
now and then. Buy a new outfit, go to a movie, or do something you
have always desired to do. Indulge in your favorite hobby. If you do
not have one, try developing one. Do not fret over little things. If
things are not going according to plan, learn to take it in your stride.
This is life. Learn the art of accepting the inevitable.

Try to acquire a ' forgive and forget' attitude. Do not keep bitterness
in your heart. Forgive those who have hurt you in the past. Make
amends. Apologize to those you've hurt. Remember, living a low
stress life is an art - it has to be worked on constantly.
