Is that what really how you want to deal with your stress?

Now that we have pondered the ways we deal with stress it is time to look at how healthy the outlets we have chosen are.

Prayer and Meditation HEALTHY
Exercise HEALTHY
Journaling HEALTHY
Creating Art or anything else HEALTHY
Therapy HEALTHY
Massage HEALTHY

The following list, healthy? Not so much!

Eating
Shopping
Drugs
Alcohol
Sex
Relationships
Working
Anything that is unbalanced (for example spending all your free time creating art when you have other responsibilities is out of balance)

Today we will look at our list of stress busters from yesterday and see what category they fall in. Are you actually creating more stress in your life by responding to it in a negative way?

If you stress release is found on the not so healthy list it is time to seek help or think of ways that you can release your stress in a healthy way.

Write your thoughts down.

If your stress busters are not found on the above list..please share with us what they are.

Peace,
