Stress Relief Activities

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.”

I am Grateful I can Choose my thoughts!


Cultivating a feeling of Gratitude is one of the best stress relief activities, and one of the quickest!
Gratitude has been called the most spiritual of all the emotions. It has the power to quiet anger, worry and other stress producing emotions.
It’s easy to find something to feel grateful for – if you can read this blog post, you can be grateful for your vision, having access to a computer, and having helpful people like me in your life to keep you feeling positive!
Begin by finding something – anything – to be grateful for. Make a list, mentally or on paper, and contemplate each item for a few moments. You’ll find the Law of Attraction will soon bring you more and more thoughts of things to be grateful for.
These are very positive, powerful results – what’s happening is, your vibration is shifting, raising higher. As it does, you begin matching up with things and people who share your new vibration.
As you begin to climb what Abraham calls the Vibrational Scale, your life will naturally become more pleasing to you, as the Universe matches you up with more and more things you like.
But don’t take my word for it, try for yourself, and the proof will present itself to you. What can you be grateful for today?

Stress Relief Activities

Is your relationship stressing you out? You need stress relief activities! Solve difficulties and love the people in your life again, warts and all, with a little help from the Law of Attraction!
Here I’ll share some favorite techniques, stress relief activities that actually fix the relationship problem. I’ve used these Abraham-Hicks processes to fix relationship issues (big and small) and keep my relationships strong and happy. I address this fully in my online course Wishful Thanking.

Abraham tells us our outer lives are a direct reflection of what’s going on inside, so if I notice ornery behavior in someone else, I know I’m on the same vibration.
So instead of getting stressed out and blaming them for my stress, I ask myself where I’m demonstrating the same in my life, and where I can offer more love. When I make the effort to improve my mood and raise my vibration, I often notice radical shifts in the other person as well.
By taking the time to really appreciate someone’s finer qualities, I notice more and more of them, through the power of the Law of Attraction. When I think of someone with love, really feeling it in my heart and projecting it to them, I notice definite improvements in the relationship very quickly.
Because we’re all connected, our loved ones (and everyone else) know exactly how we feel about them, so you can’t just give it lip service, you have to dig down (sometimes deep!) for your genuine feelings. It may not be nice to fool Mother Nature, but it’s impossible to fool the Law of Attraction!


Granted, sometimes you really have to look for their positive aspects. But
you only have to come up with one! Focus on it, pondering the reasons you value this attribute, and the Law of Attraction will bring more to you. Magic!
I love Abraham’s Book of Positive Aspects technique, where you list all the things you love about all the people who are important to you. Guaranteed to fix relationship problems! Then, if you’re having a tough time relating to them, you can refer to the book and remind yourself why love having this person in your life!
Another stress relief activities tool in my relationship tool box is Abraham’s ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if . . .’ process.
This process works like a charm, because when you really know what you don’t want, you really know what you do want. So I just pull out my journal and write about the situation as if it’s ALREADY been resolved precisely the way I want it.
Give yourself some time for this one, really get into the feeling place, and you’ll see results. It may take more than one sitting, but you will see results!
If I’m really at a loss and don’t know what to do, I pull out the big guns. I call on my Angels. They always know how to fix relationship problems! I just ask them to bring about a healing that is in the highest good of all concerned. Then I take my mind completely off the situation, knowing it’s being handled by the relationship experts!
If necessary, I’ll use a releasing technique such as EFT to address any negative feelings I’m having and shift myself back into a positive vibe that will allow the healing to take place.
I hope these stress relief activities help you fix relationship issues. I welcome your comments and any suggestions you might have!

Best Stress Relief Activities

Yoga and Pilates are both wonderful stress relief activities


Two of the best stress relief activities going are yoga and pilates. Both will teach you to focus your mind, which will help you relieve stress.
For me, yoga vs pilates is a lot like comparing apples and oranges. I love them both, and am a teacher of both, but I don’t expect the same things from them!
On the surface, the two can look very similar. Pilates  draws on some classic yoga moves, as many fitness programs do, but they do vary quite a bit. Let’s look at what they do and don’t have in common, so you can decide for yourself which of them is the best stress relief activities for you. (more…)
