STRESS BOUNDARIES AND THEIR POWER

STRESS CAN TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE…
Stress can become overwhelming in your life. Often stressful experiences happen because you have not set your own ‘stress boundaries’. Building your own boundaries is vital for your own stress management and stress relief.
YOU NEED CLEAR BOUNDARIES
You need to set clear boundaries about what you we will and what you won’t do. Clear boundaries let you say no more often to what you don’t want to do and yes more often to what you want to do. And that is so good for your stress levels.
FEELING OVERWHELMED BY THE DEMANDS OF OTHERS?
If you are feeling overwhelmed by the demands of others in your life, then it’s a time to set or rebuild some boundaries. No-one else will set these boundaries for you. You have to take control of your own life and stress levels.
PRACTICE SAYING THIS WORD POLITELY
So next time someone asks you to do something that you do not want to do, practice saying a polite no! “No! But thanks for asking me to help but at the moment I feel I’m not taking enough time to look after myself and relax more, so I will have to say no for now”.
SETTING YOUR OWN BOUNDARIES REDUCES YOUR STRESS
Life is far too short to spend your time allowing others to always invade your space and make constant demands on your time and energy. Setting and building your own boundaries gives you back control over your own life and reduces your stress.

Filed under Stress Questions and Answers
STRESS IS IN ALL OUR LIVES…
But the answer to this question is not what most people expect. Most people will tell you that you should eliminate all stress from your everyday life. That you should use a range of stress management and stress relief strategies that aim to remove stress completely.
However, the answer to this stress question is actually FALSE. Not only is this impossible to remove all stress from your life but the only people who experience no stress at all are unfortunately no longer with us, they are deceased. You can develop effective stress management and stress relief techniques but you do not want to eliminate all stress from your life.
YOU NEED SOME STRESS IN YOUR LIFE
In reality we do actually need some degree of stress in our lives. For some degree of stress and tension in your life motivates you to do things, to take action, to make decisions and to make changes in your life. Very simply, having stress in your life gives you the get up and go to actually get up and go to make things happen.
YOU DO NOT WANT EXCESSIVE STRESS
Now let us be very clear on this. We are not talking about excessive amounts of stress that cause you extreme anxiety, trauma and fearfulness. The more stress you feel the more important is becomes to find ways to engage in stress management and stress relief techniques.
STRESS CAN ACTUALLY HELP YOU
But since everyone experiences stress and stress is part of your life then living with some degree of stress is needed for you to actively adapting, managing and making changes in your life.
