This year I made an extra effort to focus on stress management and indeed next 2013 I will focus more on it. I realized all the garbage thoughts I allowed on my mind is product of my anxiety and stress and with that I am sorry for all the people in my life that I hurt because of my wrong flow of thinking. Less stress means better mind condition. Stress management, healthy and nutritious diet, physical fitness, discipline, good attitude, prayer and meditation will surely help me survive again in life this coming year 2013. A happy, fruitful, healthy and positive New Year to everyone!

These are all great ideas to manage stress. Stress sure can wreck havoc on our thinking, bodies, and minds. I practice all of these but not consistently enough. I love taking a nice warm soak in the hot tubb to help reduce stress. As a single mom I have a lot of it, but I know 2013 is going to be our best year ever.

Best year ever! I realized how important is to level our stress in life. We need it but if it gets too much it can wreck havoc in our minds and thinking.

You are right, we do need some stress in our lives, it helps to keep us motivated, but to much stress can have the opposite effect.

Hi averygirl72.. I strongly agree with you less stress will lead you to a better mind condition. If we are stressed everything is being affected including our love ones. We cannot avoid stress but at least there are possible ways to get rid of them and or to handle them. Stress management is very helpful to have healthy and happy life.

Yeah that's right. Stress causes misunderstanding and wrongful acts. When we are stressed, we often lose our temper and our anger is easily triggered. We even treat innocent people rudely or we may also act very unpredictable. This is why we need to manage stress effectively. We really need meditation more often and let us remain healthy not only physically but also emotionally and mentally.

It's important to realize our mistakes. At first it seems right but then it can be wrong. We still have time to make changes.

I wish you the best! It's hard to change your way of thinking about some things but its not impossible. I usually start the day with my favourite song, read some scripture or meditate on my day and get mentally prepared. Changing your diet will help too, try some new foods and that will help you to think differently. I'd love to hear how you are progressing and what things you did to change yourself in 2013, keep us updated.

I don't have a perfect life, sometimes I self sabotage myself and even mess up my own life. However, thank the Lord we can do something to figure out where did we go wrong and fix them up.

We are bombarded with lots of it everyday and sometimes put ourselves into it. If we know how to just stay cool and relax will feel much better.

Many people are suffering from stress. It seems to have been a very bad year for most of the people I know. Now that we are free of the Mayan calendar maybe the next year will be better.

I think my biggest enemy is myself. If you can conquer yourself in your mind, you can achieve what you want in the new year.

Great. The biggest enemy we can have is our self and our mind. Most of the battle will be won and it begins in ourselves.

Good thoughts by you. Yes stress affects the mental ability of a person, his thinking process, his behaviour towards others. So get rid of it and enjoy a better life. And take a proper diet and start going to gym. Good luck

Making yourself relax is not easy especially when you have lots of things to do. It is very rewarding if you can spend time alone and pamper yourself eating healthy and nutritious foods such as veggies and fruits. Thinking of happy thoughts would help to lessen the stress you are feeling.

Having a balance life is one way of avoiding stress. Exercise, have a balance diet, relax or meditate, have some fun are ways of having a balanced life. Having a regular exercise helps a lot since we all know that exercising helps maintain a fit healthy body. Finding a peaceful place to meditate also relieves you from stress and it also helps you in having a clear mind. Most especially watch the foods you are taking in because it contributes in preventing stress. Easier said than done but we should all try our best to achieve it in order for us to become a better person.

I agree that our number one enemy is stress. Having a healthy body, clear and positive mind and having good attitude are the proper ways of conditioning our mind and body. Stop thinking about negative things, it may lead you to failure. Being relax and happy everyday can lead us to success.

Stress is our number one enemy. If we can't handle it properly or overcome it, we will be the loser. It is right to do stress management to lessen the burdens we feel inside it'll help us make good decision. It will also help us be a better person through having a positive outlook in life. Making all the difficulties as a challenge for improvement.
