Coaching Corner – Make a List
If you are trying to figure out what is causing all of the stress in your body, you may want to do some research. This is something that you can do on your own to find a way to pin point the problems and to get started with the treatments of them. You should sit down and think about the problems that you are having in your life and what you can do to change the situation.
Make a well thought out list of all the problems that you are facing in your life. Think about these problems and what you are worried about. When you are thinking about what is disrupting your life, you may find the answers to the questions of what is causing all of your problems and your stress.
Think of all the people that are adding to your stress. This will include all relationships both at home and at work. Figure out what the problems are with these people and if you need to have them in your life or if they are someone that you should distance yourself from. There is nothing wrong with ending a relationship that is in turmoil. You should be prepared to do this if it is relevant to your health and well-being.
Think of things that you can do to improve your lifestyle. If you are eating the right things, taking the time to exercise and get the proper nutrients for your body. Are you talking about your feelings with others? Do you need to find a different career path? These are examples that you need to think about when you are trying to define your life and what is causing you the most problems with stress
Do not forget about the humor and entertainment in your life. You have to include these things into your life so that you are taking a break from the stress that can build up. You should jot down the things that you like to do and what makes you happy. Make sure that you are applying these things to your life so that you can become a better and well-rounded person.
Make sure that you are going over your lists on a regular basis. Make the necessary changes where they are needed and take the time to enjoy things. You need to stop and smell the roses once in a while to maintain a healthy outlook on life. You will find that once you apply this list, you will watch your stress disappear for good.
I just stumbled across your Web Site, seeking some good places to read or to listen to some spiritual Teachers. I just would like to say that you reminded me to make a list. I have so much that i am bothered about.
I would like to know how do you help with problems associated with family death.
I been going through a life changing experiance. A very real, and tragic situation, i have alot of stress, anxiety, and this has effected my health.
My Nephew was killed. He was only 36.
My sister 6- months later died. She was already sick with cancer. And this took its tole on her.
At the time this happened, i was taking care of my mother.
My mother died as well. She was 80 – years old. She was in grief over my sister too.
To make things worse, my brother whom was not very close to us, got angry, and
made it clear that he did not want to help me, when mom was gone. That i would be on my own. He helped pay for a cremation, but never came for the funeral.
Since there was this problem, i could not get the funeral going for my mother.
And the family drove off , I was hung up on, and no one wanted to be apart of the process with me, to help me get through this. To this day no one has called me.
I then turned to my brother -in- law, he felt my situation. He was going to put me in his will, if i moved to where he was. I didn,t go . So later he passed away too.
I feel really left alone. And i am in school. And trying to figure out what direction i should go into. I am also angry, and When my brother-in-law died . No one called me about it. The house was sold , and i was also left out too by my neice.
I Know this is a very long e-mail, i would like to know how to break all of these pieces down, like how to get to the root of this , because there has been no way
to talk this out with them on the phone. When i sent my niece a card it was sent back, and my brother has not responded to my letter sent a year ago. Things were left with no closure for me. And a feelng of some fear to , with what will happen to me, and my life. I dont want to be stuck in the life that i am in.
Financially, and lifewise. And family means alot to me too. But where i am there isn’t family that is supportative.
Sincerely Yours, Joan Bryant
