TYPES OF STRESS GROUPS: STRESS PHOBIC DOS AND DONT’S
Stress phobics must learn to like and respect themselves and to appreciate their talents and potentials. Here are a few guidelines for the stress phobic:
1. Begin by admitting to yourself that you have feelings, that you’re not without emotions.
2. At the start of each day, face yourself in the mirror. Acknowledge your problems and your feelings. Tell yourself what positive steps you’re going to take to handle a problem and how good you feel now that you’ve made the decision to change.
3. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself how enthusiastic you feel—that you walk, talk and behave enthusiastically. Keep that spirited feeling with you all day. It will help you generate endorphins and other good biochemicals, and overcome obstacles.
4. Believe and act as if you are someone with worthwhile opinions and attitudes. You are. You are someone who deserves to be heard. Seek and you’ll find the method that will enable you to be heard.
5. Learn to speak up when you feel put upon. Gently but firmly pursue your goal. Your friends will have more respect for you when you assert yourself. Gather up the facts necessary to present your side of a discussion and state them in plain language. You’ll feel better when you express yourself; it’s a healing feeling.
6. Look for the opportunities that are present in your life to make beneficial changes. You aren’t fated to have poor health or to live in poverty. You are destined for optimal health and prosperity, and you must tell yourself so, believe it’s so and act upon that belief.
7. Learn to ferret out the causes of dissatisfaction in your life. Face them. Take the steps necessary to correct them, or learn to accept what you cannot change. In any case, get going with your life.
8. Learn to like yourself. The steps that follow will help you develop a sense of self-respect and worth.
9. If you’re not sure of your purpose in life, don’t worry. It will come to you eventually. In the meantime, get on with your life; life is to be lived.
