September 4, 2009 | By Belinda Bison In stress transformation |

Listen to your body

Don’t react to stress, but respond to the tell tale signs! We have a barometer built in our body, it constantly monitors our physical, emotional and spiritual functions. It send warning signs for any crisis detected so we may take action to handle the crisis. More often than not, we often disregard the warning signs or ignore the known consequences while abusing it at high risk.

Balance your 3-S management

In our daily life and work, we need to balance our 3S management to transform stressful energy into motivational power.

SELF MANAGEMENT - time and energies distributed for personal, family and work.

SATISFACTION MANAGEMENT - values, goals, expectations, aspirations and inspirations

SUCCESS MANAGEMENT - definition, level of success and price to pay for success.

Exercise your choices

When one is having choices, one is having freedom and freedom is one of the key to reduces stress. Also, if one is having alternatives at workplace, they help to manage work stress better. We must exercise our choices to create balance in life and work. Many people would rather not make any choices for themselves, mainly because they are afraid to take responsibility for their choices made. It is easier for them to follow what they are told to do, to avoid responsibility. When we feel that we don’t have choices in life or alternatives at workplace, we are destined to have stress. Remember, choices and alternatives give us the mastery ofour life and work.

Change to master change

It is a must for us to change so we can master the change, The intrinsic change must precipitate the extrinsic change. It is of a higher quality change from inside for facing the change from the outside. When the extrinsic change is imposed and force for the intrinsic change, it is often met with resistance. Conversely, changing from the inside will make it easier to take on the change for the outside. Always keep in mind that change is growth and new opportunity!
