4 R Stress Prevention Formula

1. RUNNING
Regular aerobic exercise for 30 minutes three to five times a week-jogging, brisk walking, biking, swimming, dancing, or anything , - releases endorphins, the mind-body's natural pain killer and mood calmer. And what is endorphin, endorphin is any of a group of substances in the nervous system of human beings and animals. Endorphins and closely related chemicals called enkephalins are part of a larger group of morphinelike compounds called opioids. Opioids help releive pain and promote a feeling of well-being. Endorphins and enkephalins control the brain's perception of, and response to, pain and stress and many form part of the body's pain relieving system.

2. READING
Lose yourself in a book, magazine, or any reading materials that can make your brain think, especially one that can help you laugh at yourself and at the absurdities of your "on the edge" and "learn-and-mean" world. Reading is the act of interpreting printed and written words. It is a basic tool of education and one of the most important skills in everyday life. We live in a world of printed words. Through reading we acquire new ideas, obtain needed information, seek support for our ideas, add to our personal pleasure, and broaden our interests. The ability to read helps distinguish human beings from other animals. People in civilized country read hundreds or even thousands of words every day. They may not look at a book, newspaper, or magazine to do this. For example, they read their mail, street signs, traffic direstions, advertisements on billboards, package labels, the wording in television and karaoke, and many other things with words. The ease and skill with which they read all these words help them develop pride and self-confidence.

3. RETREATING
Take time to reflect on these gnawing stressors: what they are, how they manifest themselves, and your negative and positive coping patterns. Can you let go of one or two of these stress gremlins or at least retreat from " all or none" and rigidly idealistic expectations? Remember this basic law of " safe stress " . Do know your limits and don't limit your "No" s.

4. "RITING" ( WRITING )
Research shows that writing about your problematic scenario can reduce stress. You can start writing a diary about the thing that memorable on your daily life. Collect pictures and put a caption that will remind your mind. And capturing ideas and images that both cognitively analyze issues and release emotions produces the greatest benefit. Write on.
