Negative Stress

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Royalty Homes USA

The first thing you must acknowledge is that stress is just stress. The only way to have no stress in life is to die, and we all do not want to deal with that option right now. Therefore, the "positive" or "negative" designation must come from our own interpretation of the event that caused this stress. When an event that causes you stress takes place, ask yourself "Why is this upsetting me?" Then decide what you are going to do differently so that it will not upset you next time.  If you don't decide right away, you will forget about it and it will happen again. If you don't want the same result, make a change. Use the event as though it was something that you needed in your life so that you can grow to meet a challenge that you will face at a future date.

This works for me. It is just another challenge that I have to overcome. Thanks for reading my blog. Royal..

Well, it is easier to think that everything that comes our way has a purpose or a lesson.

We must learn, otherwise in a similar situation we again feel hopeless and even more stressed.

What you do is the best:  thinking positively about stressors, also try deep abdominal breathing and training in meditation and mindfulness.

Hi Royal,

I do feel we all have our own way of dealing with stress and sometimes it takes awhile to what works best. Some take a walk, read, meditate, go to the gym, talk it out, take a deep breath and count to 10 etc.

I have always thought that nothing can get me down. I just dare anyone that feels that they could succeed. I guess I am just too strong-hearted. Thanks for the comment. Royal...

Royal, Exercise helps me cope with stress better. I also do deep breathing and quiet time for collecting my thoughts so I don't react badly in a situation.

Real Debbie. That also works for me. I look forward to it.

Roger. I have had the same experience. However, I have been working with kids with cancer. I think of them. Then, I don't have it so bad.

Debbie. Thank you for the comment. I do plan on keeping it up. I will blog about things that help me.

Royal, if we don't take the time to look inside and discover why a situation is upsetting us then we are doomed to let it happen over and over.  Sometimes stress can be a great educator and turn out to be a very positive thing.

Mona. You are so correct. If something did upset us and we didn't ponder over it or think about if it happens again in the future, we can not blame anyone. We did nothing so we will end up with the same result because we let it happen.

Roger. I have done it for almost 20 years and have lost over 100 kids due to this dreadful thing. I have learned so much about life and what it is about. I could tell you stories about the kids that I helped for months. However another day. Anyway, Kudos to you Sir for thinking about other people in their time of need.

Thank you all for your comments. Royal...
