Finding Your Inner-strength & Peace:

Meditation:
The aim of meditation isto bring inner peace within yourself and the world in a positive and spiritual way. The world can cause you to be unsettled and within every soul there is some form of tension and stress. It is therefore essential to create positive and peaceful thoughts to bring peace to our mind. Meditation is one of the best methods to bring about transformation and nurture the natural qualities within.
The best way that we can create that change is to change our thoughts from being negative to positive. The positive discovery about meditation is that we are focusing within our self and becoming free of negativity. Meditation techniques simply involve a process of transforming yourself, your thoughts, and recognizing the negative thoughts, and changing them into positive and peaceful thoughts.
Journaling:
Journaling for stress relief doesn't mean writing down everything that happens to you every day. It means using your journal -- whether it's on paper or on your computer -- to write your emotions and your reactions to what's going on in your life. Your entries may take the form of a letter to a person with whom you're having a problem. Other times it may just be free-flow writing, with no stopping for spelling, punctuation, or grammar. The key is knowing that no one but you will see it and giving yourself permission to be totally honest in whatever you say. Then go back and read what you've written. Only by learning from the past will you be able to change in the future.
Exercise:
The body’s natural relaxation response is a powerful antidote to stress. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, visualization, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, and yoga can help you activate this relaxation response. When practiced regularly, these activities lead to a reduction in your everyday stress levels and a boost in your feelings of joy and serenity. What’s more, they also serve a protective quality by teaching you how to stay calm and collected in the face of life’s curveballs.
Healthy Diet & Sleep:
Junk food and refined sugars low in nutritional value and high in calories can leave us feeling out of energy and sluggish. A healthy diet, low in sugar, caffeine, and alcohol consumption, can promote health and reduce stress. A good night's sleep allows you to tackle the day's stress easier. When you are tired, you are less patient and easily agitated which can increase stress.
