Relieving Stress
Relieving Stress
I recently read a post about a childhood love. It was about Jelly Bean the horse. In the story, ”Jelly Bean” was a Welsh Pony and was loved more dearly than any physical possesion could ever be loved. I was quite stressed when I began to read the article, but continuued only because it was written by a dear friend. As I fell further and further into the story, I noticed my stress level go down to a zero level.
I had considered learning more about the causes of stress and potential ways to relieve stress. I asked myself “why did this beautiful story relieve the stress in my life so quickly?” I found a few reasons I’d like to pass along.
Nature Relieves Stress
-
Whatever you focus upon determines your stress level. When I changed my focus from the worrisome things on my mind to the joy story my stress level disappeared.
-
Nature relieve stress. I realized the story reminded me about the times I use to go horseback riding when I was a young boy of about ten years of age. It reminded me of my connection with nature and how loved to be outside in nature.
-
Animals Relieve Stress. The story of Jelly Bean reminded me of my love of horses and all the good times I had riding my own horses. A horse can be a best friend, “ya know?”
-
When you are stressed, if you have a hobby or anything that distracts you from the stressing thought, it can be a catalyst for moving beyond the stress and even possibly into happiness.
-
Relieve Stress by reading a good book or article; or watching a good movie. Give you mind something to replace the worrisome thoughts.
In summary, when we focus on the things we want, instead of focusing on our worries, it reduces the stress and increases our level of happiness.
