One of the biggest worries you have as you age is getting sick.
I'm sure one of the biggest worries you have as you age is getting sick. Therefore, while you are still healthy and still
able to change the things you do, now is the time to become aware of how your behavior and mindset are affecting
your health.
Most health issues are related to stress and your inability to cope with the overwhelming influx of demands and responsibilities. It has to do with the uneasiness you feel, when you are emotionally or physically at risk, whether real
or imagined. If your perception aligns with these feelings and it becomes the dominant thought in your mind, you are creating an unstable atmosphere. This could ultimately compromise your immune system, which could cause illness
and diseases.
Therefore, if you don't want to become a statistic, take care of yourself. This means becoming aware of what you need
to do to alleviate the stress and overwhelm in your life. The health of your body depends on the clear communication of your feelings and your thoughts.
When you're feeling stressed, you have to think of ways to reduce it so you can start to feel better. You can do this by thinking pleasant thoughts to distract yourself. You may also rehash funny memories that will get you laughing at the absurdity of life. Or, you may call a friend and do something together that's fun and carefree. This is how you cleanse
your body of the negative effects of stress and bring back the harmony you are supposed to be feeling.
Reducing stress also means reducing the stressful environment in which you find yourself. If the stressor is a person, spend less time with him/her. If the stressor is a situation, alter what you can about it, but ultimately, you may have to
either adapt to it or accept it. This means you change how you feel about the unpleasant circumstance.
There are many things in life you can control, but there are also an equal number of things you can't. Rather than
stressing over it, decide to regularly make time for fun and relaxation, and you'll be in a better place to handle your
stress when it inevitably comes.
