Examples of stress reduction-- The hospital offers classes that the employees can attend which are a tremendous help to me personally,
because it makes me take a good, hard look around to see that nothing is that important to get all upset and stressed out.
I personally experienced stress reduction by analyzing the situation to see how it should be handled before the stress builds up in me.
I know that this is not always the case, but I try to utilize this in any stressful situation at work or in my life away from work.
Also, knowing that I cannot change all things or all people and being able to adapt to this has greatly reduced the stress in my life.
It has been effective in that I have lost almost forty pounds since realizing the above mentioned ways, my diet has gotten much better, and
I sleep much more since I realized that ' Don't sweat the little things, they are all little things.'
