STRESS-BUSTING TIPS : Body Sense Natural Diet

Breathing is a powerful de-stressing tool. Several times per day,
breathe in through your nose and fill your lungs with air until your abdomen
rises. Then slowly exhale from your mouth until your lungs are empty.
Repeat this five times.


• Get eight hours of sleep every night and try to sleep until 7:30 in the
morning.

• Learning to say no when you have too much to humanly accomplish in
one day is important to healthy adrenals.

• Have the family share the household workload. Doing chores together
can be fun.

• Eat plenty of vegetables every day.

• Smile. This chapter will teach you how to purge negative emotions.

• Get help in dealing with grief. The loss of a loved one, a divorce, or the
loss of a job all produce grief. Immune suppression is the result when
grief is not dealt with.

• Carpe diem—seize the day—and live it to the fullest. Don’t worry so
much about tomorrow.

• Believe in yourself. Negative self-talk and continually doubting your abil-
ities will hamper your body’s ability to heal.

• Notice the beauty around you. Smell the flowers, watch the sunset, and
listen to the wind.

• Love your family and friends and be forgiving.

• Be good to yourself. Most of us are our own worst enemies. We focus on
our weaknesses and minimize our strengths. Wake up each day and tell
yourself you are a good and useful person.

• Do the things you have always wanted to do. Learn to water ski, sing in
a choir, write a book, tell stories to your grandchildren, walk, garden—
whatever makes you happy.

• Seek your spiritual side. This effort does not have to be religious, although
those with strong religious beliefs generally live at peace and feel pro-
tected. Most of us believe in something greater than ourselves, a spiritual
power that offers solace and helps us find the quiet place within.
