How To Reduce Stress with the SPARKLE Formula

S – Sleep well.

*
Your bed is for sleeping, reading and intimacy.
*
When your head hits the pillow, it’s time to sleep, not think
*
Your bed should NOT be for: watching television, balancing your checkbook, planning the next day, arguing with your spouse, checking your e-mail, or making phone calls.
*
When in bed, books are OK, laptops are not.

P – Plan every day.

*
Create a to-do list every morning. This gives you a) a roadmap of what you need to do at the beginning of the day, b) a reminder of what still needs to be done throughout the day and c) a place to check off your accomplishments at the end of the day

A – Anticipate less.

*
Recognize the false assumptions you make that lead to anxiety. Will things really turn out to be as bad as you think? Probably not.
*
When you look to the future, visualize success rather than failure. After all, you really don’t know which it will be. So why not expect the best?

R – Relax.

*
Breath deeply when you feel stressed. Get up and change your environment, if only for a short time.
*
Go for a walk at lunch.
*
Relaxation means taking a break from what you were doing, not just “vegging out.” For instance, watching television isn’t always relaxing; it can be dumbing and dulling. Find activities that calm your body and stimulate your mind.
*
Create a time for your own kind of meditation. Find a quiet space and a quiet time that’s just for you.

K – Keep Anger under control.

*
Be empathetic and forgiving to others when they make mistakes. Like you, they’re trying to do their best.
*
Learn to give constructive feedback rather than destructive criticism.
*
When someone makes you angry, remember that you have a choice in how you react. Instead of yelling at that bad driver who cut you off, do a running play-by-play on his erratic driving techniques. It’s more fun.

L – Laugh.

*
Use positive affirmations to keep yourself on track.
*
Affirmations should use the 4 P’s; personal, positive, passionate and present. For instance, “I am a confident and successful manager who always runs an amazing team.”
*
Find time to share a joke. Laugh at the curves life throws at you rather than fretting over them.

E – Eat Well and Exercise.

*
Your body needs to be a well-tuned machine to manage all of the stresses that act on it.
*
Avoid eating packaged snacks – anything that comes in a wrapper or plastic bag. Try natural fruit instead.
*
Add more colored vegetables to your meals.
*
Reduce caffeine in your diet. It’s a stimulant and can exacerbate physical symptoms of stress that you may already have. Choose water instead.
*
Avoid the escalator or elevator and take the stairs.
*
Find opportunities to go for a walk. Ideally, get exercise that causes you to sweat for twenty minutes at least three times per week.

good luck! take a break! :) don't stress yourself too much... :)

Answer 3

Unless you have a good prescription rescue like Xanax... what I do is turn off the TV/radio first, because outside noises can raise your anxiety levels. Turn off the lights, turn off your phone & lay down. Breathe deeply, in thru the nose & out thru the mouth.

Draw a bubble bath, brew a cup of herbal tea w/ honey. Stay away from caffeine. Pray if that's something you do. Pick up a book that you have already read, but you know is a nice story. Hang in there. Trust me, too. I've had anxiety issues for years. These things can work.

Answer 4

Take a long relaxing bath and go to sleep. Eat healthy. If you don't eat healthy it makes you feel like s h i t. (Trust me, I know from experience. I stopped eating fast food and a week later I felt sooo much better.) Is there something that is making you feel so stressed? Too much homework? Problems with friends? Family? Just step back and look at the big picture. It's not that big of a deal, if you look at it like that. Picture yourself floating into space, and there is your house, one of the many all around you. Come back down to earth.

Take a deep breath, and it will all pass eventually. It will all go away. All you have to do is make it through.

Answer 5

Take a chill pill or take "Nature Made"
Take a hot shower or maybe go into the hot tub
Go to a spa
Eat right and exercise



Rock on!
