Creating Calm in a Stressful Situation


 
 
 
Being in a stressful situation can be very difficult and unnerving.  It can seem like you can’t think, breathe, and that the current problem is unsolvable.  We have all been in a state of stress, no matter if it is positive or negative it is still stress.

As human beings it can seem like we are led by emotion, ego, or thoughts when it comes to stress.  This can sometimes lead us down a path that can create more of what you started with.  So what can you do about it?

There are tools that you can use to create a foundation to better deal with any stress that may come into your life.  Using tools such as meditation, exercise, eating right, and getting enough sleep is what many people think about when it comes to creating a centered and positive foundation.  This does definitely help, but there are other methods or tools that can also help.

One thing you can do is eliminate any negativity or stressful items, people, or surrounding energy linked in, to or around your home.  Your home should be a place of solitude and positivity.  Start with clearing out the clutter or unnecessary items that are in closets, cupboards and drawers.  This will clear up space and you will be surprised how good you will feel afterwards.  It is said that to create new things in your life you need to clear out the old.  Think about it as pruning a rose bush.  You have to get rid of the old and unruly part of the bush to create the flowers or what the bush is actually meant to create.

Another thing you can do is to always take time for yourself.  I know this can be difficult when you may have children, but even 5 minutes of what you LOVE to do can make a difference.  This time set for yourself can renew the spirit and bring insight to your current situations.  Overall this will help keep you centered and grounded.  Making you a more positive parent, spouse, friend, or acquaintance.  Also, try to create the time of waking up and going to sleep as being a positive manifesting activity.  Say something positive before or after bedtime.  This will create the intention for a positive day.

Using tools such as essential oils, herbs, or crystal/gems are also a great tool for personal use.  Read up on what certain oils, herbs or gems are good for.  All of these things come from the earth and are meant to heal.  Each having their own special vibration can bring peace, healing, and health to your spirit, mind and body.  Having them around your home or on or in your body can connect you with the source of all that is positive, and can replenish what you may need at that time.
