Here’s a the best stress relief for you – do nothing! It’s got to be one of the most under-rated of stress coping strategies! When was the last time you sat under a tree by yourself and did nothing? Not reading a book, but just sitting in silence contemplating your life, creating a vision for your future? I recently took the opportunity to spend 3 hours this way. Yes, there were other things I could be doing – but nothing, I’m quite sure, would’ve been as productive as this non-activity. By the end of my meditation/journaling session, I felt renewed, had removed some age-old blocks to my abundance, and cleared the overwhelm and stress that had threatened to engulf me prior to my taking this time for myself.

Sitting in silence is one of the most effective stress relief activities
Want to know how to experience stress relief and happy? The answer is simpler than you think with these stress relief activities. The way to become a happy person is to decide you will be, no matter what. Stay present, focusing your thoughts in the moment, and decide you’re not going to allow worry or negative thoughts.

Counting your blessings can be the best of all stress relief activities! Even when things aren’t going exactly as you’d prefer, you want to stay positive, to attract positive things. So, what wonders have you created in your life today? As deliberate creators, we’re taught to keep our eyes on the prize. But that can often lead to frustration when things are taking ‘too long’ (in our opinion!) or not manifesting in quite the way it ‘should’ (again, according to us!). We tend to forget all the wonderful things we’ve already drawn in to our lives. I was recently reminded of this with a passage from The Secret Daily Teachings, which reads as follows: “Think of all the good things in your life. And now realize that you brought them all into your life. Your thoughts and feelings moved the energies of the Universe to bring all those good things to you. You are a powerful being.” (more…)
