Stress Management tip # 2
This is another point that comes to me naturally. Weather I am looking forward to a kiss from my Huzby a book I'm reading I try hard to think of something during the day I can look forward to. I also try to have something big to look forward to. Usually its a vacation. Or something enjoyable we have planned. It gives me something fun to imagine if I'm stuck in the humdrum of daily life.
DAn and I went to a stress management class about a year ago and one thing I really liked was the gratitude journal. Filling that out every night made sure that throughout the day I looked for positive things. Its amazing how something small like that can really change your outlook. It doesn’t make depression or stresses go all the way away but it adds a protective layer so that you are a little more able to bear up under them.
