How To Manage Stress



From Elizabeth Scott, M.S., your Guide to Stress Management
Certain healthy lifestyle strategies (like those mentioned in last week's newsletter) can really help relieve stress--exercise, self care, etc. However, simply knowing these changes can help us is much easier than actually making those lifestyle changes--and making them stick! If you want to make some changes that will make stress management easier, here are some tips for maintaining motivation--and regaining it if you slip. Enjoy the rest of your week, and have fun with it! -Elizabeth

Goal-Setting For Stress Management
What types of goals should you set to help relieve stress in your life, and how can you reach those goals? This article has an overview of where to put your focus, how to stay focused, and what to do if you lose your focus.

Maintain Healthy Habits in 5 Simple Steps
If you already know what changes you want to make (or even if you don't!), this resource can help you set and reach your goals in just a few simple steps. Find out how you can have the life you've been wanting for too long--a less-stressed one!

Quiz: How Healthy Is Your Lifestyle?
This assessment will help you to decide which changes could benefit you the most--it has been developed to evaluate ten important areas of your life to help you determine what changes can be made to create a more healthy lifestyle that soothes your soul and includes a minimal level of stress. Each question provides additional information on how these areas can cause stress, and what changes can be made. I think you'll find this test to be a valuable tool in assessing whether or not you could benefit from some changes to live a more healthy lifestyle. It's ten minutes well spent!
