New way to look at stress

What is stress?? Stress is any factor (emotional, physical, social, economic, and so on that requires a mental or physical adaptive response.

These factors can be real or imagined. They can come at us from all directions or spring from within ourselves. However, our time isn't managed for us. Using your time the way you want to use it requires self- discipline and goals. But first, you need to see where to put your focus.

Try this two-part exercise. It may very well change your life; it did mine. For part one, write down the seven greatest sources of stress in your life.

List 1 : The seven greatest sources of stress in your life .
1. ......................... 2........................... 3. ........................... 4. .........................
5. ......................... 6. .......................... 7. ...........................

Stress - and what's causing it for you - is an important aspect of your life that you need to understand, because it is a risk factor for heart disease and cancer. Not only does stress harm our health, but so do many of the ways people choose to cope with it. Some of us respond to stress with isolation, anger or impulsive behaviours.

Now for part two of the exercise. Please list the seven most important things in your life, in order.

List 2 : The seven most important things in your life.
1. ........................... 2. .......................... 3. ........................... 4. ............................
5. ........................... 6. ........................... 7. ..........................
Now compare the two lists you have made, notice anything interesting?? For most people, the 2 lists are very similar. (If yours are not similar, your path is easy. It means you have a lot of unimportant things bothering you. Just get rid of them)

When the 2 lists are similar, it means that the most important things in your life are aslo causing you the most stress. Therefore, when people tell you that the way to handle stress is to just let go of it, they are really telling you to run away from the most important things in your life : your family, job, finances and so on.

If someone were to observe you for a week - as if you were the star of a reality show- would they be able to accurately determine the 7 most important things in your life?? If not, then you are living in conflict with your won goals and values. This is what I man by time management. You are not managing your time- which is in essence, your life - so as to do what is most important.

I urge you to take a look at your own life. As you start to actually manage your time so it aligned with the people and things that are most important to you, you will start to feel calmer, happier and more serene. Once you achieve a low level of stress in your life, you are more likely to be healthy.

A Poem for my dearest Mummy...
You are the sunlight in my day, You are the moon I see far away. You are the tree I lean upon, You are the one that makes troubles be gone. You are the one who taught me life, How not to fight, and what is right. You are the words inside my song, You are my love, my life, my mom. You are the one who cares for me, You are the eyes that help me see. You are the one who knows me best, When it's time to have fun and time to rest. You are the one who has helped me to dream, You hear my heart and you hear my screams. Afraid of life but looking for love, I'm blessed for God sent you from above. You are my friend, my heart, and my soul You are the greatest friend I know. You are the words inside my song, You are my love, my life, my Mom.
Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!(^_^)

The Meaning Of Love

To Love is to shae life together
to build special plans just for two
to work side by side
and then smile with pride
as one by one, dreams all come true.

To love is to help and encourage
with smiles and sincere words of praise
to take time to share
to listen and care
in tender, affectionate ways

To love is to have someone special
one who you can always depend
to be there through the years
sharing laughter and tears
as a partner, a lover, a friend.

To love is to make special memories
of moments you love to recall
of all the good things
love is the greatest of all.

I've learned the full meaning
of sharing and caring
and having my dreams all come true;
I've learnedthe full meaning
of being in love
by being and loving.

Happiness

What is this happiness thing anyway? When I was a small girl, I remember an ad that said, "Happiness is saying yes to milk!" Now there is a thought! More than anything else, happiness is a personal experience. So, whether it is saying yes to milk, or reading touching poetry, make sure to pursue your happiness.

I'm fulfilled in what I do... I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes-the finer things of life-would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.
