In the last blog we touched upon the ‘signs’ or symptoms that let us know when things in our lives are not working for us. It is hoped that some of us were able to identify how stress and unfulfilled needs negatively impact us. Let’s now address what we can do for ourselves to decrease that impact.
In the next few weeks, we will explore various tools that can help to manage our symptoms in healthy ways.
Important points to keep in mind:
§ Often the only way to know if something will benefit us is to try it.
§ Every person is unique- not all the tools work for everyone. Find what is right for you.
§ To experience a beneficial outcome, we need to give the tools time. One or two tries may not be enough to make an accurate assessment.
§ There may be feelings of awkwardness/discomfort. This is appropriate when we are taking in new information and trying something unfamiliar.
§ We do not have to do things perfectly in order to experience benefits. We just need to be present and let the process unfold.
Here are the ‘signs’ we will be learning how to manage:
§ Physical Aches/Pains
§ Obsessive Thoughts
§ Sleep Problems
§ Lack of Goal-setting
Next week, we will explore how to manage the physical discomfort that can result from stress and unmet needs.
