Why am I so stressed all the time?

It's been one heck of a hard day, the minute you sit in your chair you begin to relax,

but the stress of getting supper made and play clothes off is insurmountable. You just want to stay glued to the couch and not move...

Though...You really can't move..
Everywhere you turn you can feel that old bubbly feeling inside your gut, just ready to get you nervous again.

The phone rings and you jump...
What the heck is going on?

Why am I so stressed all the time?
The reason you are so stressed all the time is, because  you are not doing what you love or what makes you happy. So anything in your life that is just slightly startling will feel like stress.
Everything in life is slightly startling, so no wonder you are stressed all the time!

I'll tell you what to do with that stress next post...

Find your spot and have a silent couple of moments.
Think about YOU and don't let go...

Becoming a Better You Today

 By the time you have finished reading this post you will understand that becoming a better you today and doing this one technique is the only way your life will turn around.

Turn your life around...Why?
You are caught up in the web of life and  some-of-the-things-you- are-doing in your life are not working.

The Most Important way to become a better you, is think of just YOU!

Define in one sentence who YOU really are.


Here is an example: 
I am a six foot tall father and work for a business firm in New York. I love my job, but I wish I had more time to spend with my family and also wish I could play golf more.

If you pick this sentence apart, you will see some interesting points.

Try to find 3 Points that involve feeling... 

• He is happy because he are a father
• He is happy because he has a job he likes
• He is unhappy because he feels he's not fulfilling what he should be doing with his family and missing out on leisure time.

Where is your peace of mind missing in your life?
It's usually just like this one...Right under your nose...     Really!
Look where your life lacks happiness by saying a statement about you.

This is where unhappiness starts if you don't fill in that missing link...
We need a full circle in life to feel we have a good life...

Focusing on this lack and not be able to apply the missing link into your life can cause real havoc in your whole Psyche!
You are doing some great things in your life, and you can feel better about you today.
Take that negative bit physic that's hiding around that little corner in your mind and deal with it today.
Exchange those feelings with positive feelings of gratitude and you will see tiny little things you can change to make you feel better and...to make you feel happier.

How do you change today?
Just by being aware of what you have to change to become better today will move you in a place in life of a better position.
Now it's out in front instead of hiding in your physic.
*Here's the thing, people can't quite put their finger on what is making them so agitated, melancholy or just plain depressed.
It's all in the statement you say about yourself every day.

Imagine the unthinkable...
So this is how Mr Example changes his life...
He takes the family to dinner, play in the park or to a movie.It may only be a short time, but he feels relaxed because he's done something. The negative stress that caused this feeling of lack nice and easily slides off him. Like a rotten old banana in the heat!
Next, he takes his oldest child, children or just his wife golfing.
Imagine the unthinkable...

Today define who you really are!
Your life will change forever!
If you find that you have agitation creeping up your backside again, do this process all over again. This is an excellent technique to work on your whole life in staying balanced and becoming a better you today.
Don't forget to follow Stress Relief Meditation Techniques too!

Difference Between Meditation and Concentration

What is the difference between meditation and concentration?

Is there a difference between the two?'

Meditation is the act of slowing down the brain so that you can clear your mind of chatter.
Concentration is a state of the mind bringing forth pictures for the mind to ponder and produce thought.
 
The interesting thing is if you can purposely concentrate during meditation on a moment of imagery that is pleasurable you can actually feel it's reality. The imagination is an amazing thing, much more amazing than you really think, because if you imagine long enough in meditation over numerous days or weeks you can actually make the imagination your reality.

You are actually meditating concentration on  your reality!

If you concentrate on a house at the beach and it is clear enough in your head...imagine...

Those commercials are right to say imagine, because you are bringing happiness and goodness to yourself. You are also making yourself feel better!
You do this every day for months...
Your imagination will come closer to you and the house becomes all of a sudden yours.

 I do have to emphasize clarity of the concentration.
This is where the real difference is between meditation and concentration.

With the breathing and focusing during meditation you are pulling things away from the brain in conjunction to concentrating on putting a desired picture in your head and animating it to make it 'movie like'...
You are putting favorable parts into it and playing with it to clarity.
When this gets concentrated (played) over and over daily..

Miracles happen...

All of a sudden one day you realize you are in that very moment in your animated movie!

Try this and enjoy the fun...You may just get everything you ever dreamed!

Meditation and Quieting Your Mind

By the time you have finished reading this post you will have a complete understanding on Meditation and Quieting Your Mind and how easy it is to do! 

One technique is... You simply have to breath!

Your mind is in constant chatter...
Talking about all the things you need to do and what things you have already done. This kind of chatter can add lots of stress to your daily life. This is why  meditation and stress relief are important to your happiness!

Your mind doesn't want to give you a break, you have to learn to consciously turn your mind off!

Turn your mind off!
Try this great exercise and quiet your mind through meditation, breathing, concentration and the act of releasing tension.
Quieting such a noisy mind...When you are at your quiet space close your eyes and let your mind wander...
 Let every thought do it's thing, but be conscious of it's activity.

This can't possibly be you that's created all these thoughts, ponder on this for just a moment...

 It's time for you to focus on your breathing.
Let those thoughts go in and then out with your breathing.
Feel the tension in your neck?
This tension is created by your thoughts. Your thoughts that don't let your mind rest!

Meditate by letting go of the tension starting at your feet.

• Breath in and stretch your feet by pointing your toes toward you, breath out and let the tension go...
• Breath in and flex the muscles in both legs, breath out and let it go...
• Breath in and tighten up your buttocks, breath out and let it go...
• Breath in and tighten your tummy muscles, breath out and let it go...
• Breath in and tighten your fists, breath out and let it go...
• Breath in and tighten your arms, breath out and let it go...
• Breath in and raise your shoulders to your ears, breath out and let them down.
• Breath in and tighten your neck, breath out and let it go...
• Breath in and tighten your smile, breath out and let it go...
• Breath in and scrunch your face, breath out and let it go...
• Breath in thinking of waves pulling back from the shore, breath out and let them come smashing in...
• Create an imaginative spot where you'd would love to be...

*Do this activity slowly and really feeling your body releasing the tension.

Your Mind should be starting to quiet during this meditation...
The reason for this is because you are letting go and concentrating on letting go.
Your mind starts to quiet when you let go of the tension in all the parts of your body.
As you do this concentration, you create imagination and pictures that are more pleasurable for you
and your mind.
Once you have created this imagination, your mind has no way of thinking anything else.
You have allowed your mind to quiet and meditation has begun...

Once you get into imagination while quieting your mind...
Try to focus on that favorite place for a couple of minutes and then just breath.
If thoughts come in let them, but don't give them conscious attention.
Let your mind know that it is time to calm and breath and that's all that it will do.

Do this practice of meditation and quieting your mind for15 to 20 minutes.

Stress Management Involving Meditation

If you are inundated with stress on a daily basis like most of us, it's time to find some stress management involving meditation.

It's tough when you are trying to enjoy life with your family, but challenges in your every day life wear you down.

You eventually start feeling like a robot with the switch flicked on the 'ON' button and it never turns 'off'! During the night hours you may toss and turn because you have difficulty putting stress away.

I'm going to tell you how to manage your stress and what to do to relieve the stress in your daily life, starting with giving yourself breaks at work or home.

The most important question is:

How do I cope with all the stress?

You are really missing out if you have not allowed yourself to have any down time in your day.

Those breaks that you get at work are the first place to start.

Did you know your work production goes down if you don't take those breaks?

AND

If you are a stay at home mom or dad, make sure you find time at least 15 minutes to just sit and be with yourself. The children will love you for that and your mood will be much happier!

How do you manage the stress? 

With meditation!

Meditating every single day allows your whole body to reboot itself, so that you can function to the best of your ability. 

 Amazing things happen to people who take breaks and meditate daily. You start living your life better then you ever thought capable. You are completely aligned with the things you do in life and also with the people in your life. Hence you become completely happy, because you feel so successful!

What do I mean by the phrase, "Sit and be with yourself?"

I mean do exactly that...Sit and be with yourself...

• I want you to sit somewhere privately away from children or people at work.
• Close your eyes
• Clear your mind, if thoughts come in...Don't worry about them!
• While breathing place your hand over your belly.
• Concentrate on the breaths going out while you extend your belly.
• Drift with the breaths and imagine waves coming in and out of the ocean.
• Go to your favorite place.
• Do this for 15 minutes.

After you are finished, you will feel refreshed, you will be able to manage you stress much better and the decisions you make for the rest of the day will come from a calmer mind.

Life will get easier, I promise!.

Meditation and Stress Relief

Meditate and Stress Relief are two thoughts that I think will help bring you clearer choices today. This is especially good if you have difficulty living day to day and trying to carve through the bumps and hurdles of life.
If you knew every day how to make the best choices just by meditating to reducing stress, your life would turn around so quickly it would almost feel as though you were reborn. Your confidence and happiness would sky rocket!

Meditating and Breathing 

You may worry that you are meditating wrong...You wonder if you are breathing right! Meditating and breathing is relaxed breathing the eventually turns to deep breathing. When you sit in your away space breathe as you normally do, close your eyes and listen to your breaths. In and out, in and out like waves in the ocean. If you start to think waves in the ocean automatically your breathing will become deeper and longer. Breathing in your nose and out your mouth. Breathing so your breaths 'in' are deep and your breaths 'out' are long.
It's all about filling your lungs and emptying your lungs.
Once you get into this kind of breathing the stress slides off...

Feeling Your Breaths Meditating 

A great tip to know while you are practicing the breathing is put one hand on your stomach and the other on your chest. Breathe in and feel your stomach push outwards, breathe out and feel your chest rise from your stomach. Paying attention to your breaths will get you in the rhythm of breathing long slow breaths.

You're already Meditating  

Look, you're already meditating! Just paying attention to your breaths during meditation is the beginning of meditating. You are breathing and fooling your mind...All you are doing is breathing and calming your insides. When the mind is away, so is your stress. Meditating and stress relief is that easy. You can practice this anywhere.

Relieve Stress and Meditate Anywhere 

Sometimes you can be hit with hard and stressful days.
Why not meditate before your day becomes stressful?
Meditate right where you are?

When you practice your breathing you are turning on a switch inside you that stops the grinding of your gears and calms your fears, anxieties and stresses. You can do a mini meditate. Which is calming your breathing and closing your eyes. You will notice directly after you've done this, you are much more relaxed and think so much better.
Have you ever had it when you are in a mess stress with choices, everybody is around you waiting for an answer from you...And almost naturally you close your eyes take a few nice breaths...Then...You open your eyes and the perfect words spit out from your mouth?
Just you doing that action can calm an entire room!
Try it, because you-really-will-love it!
