Managing how I respond to stress is key to my peace of mind. Each day brings its share of stressful situations. I understand that I am unable to control what happens to me, but I am resolute in managing how I respond to situations. This approach contributes to my continuing peace of mind. My reaction to situations dictates how well I am able to combat stress. I know it is easy to get caught up in difficult situations at work. External factors can make my workplace untenable. But I learn to separate the situation from the reaction. It is important to me to display a positive attitude to unfavorable circumstances. I am convinced that how I respond determines the impact on my health and well-being. There are times when stressful situations get the best of me. When that happens, I counteract that feeling with healthy activities. Exercise at the end of a hard day makes me feel very relaxed. Meditation and pampering also help me to unwind and release stress. I treat myself to a long soak in the tub after a rough day. Pampering helps me to forget the cares of my world. Today, I manage my response to stress with positive techniques that work well for me. Living a less stressful life keeps me youthful and vibrant. I want to maintain my peace of mind, so I do what is necessary for that to happen. Self-Reflection Questions 1.
