Combating Stress: Look To The East

Consider lessons from the Eastern lifestyle. Eastern philosophies are based on the notion that stress - however urgent - can be maintained via many forms of meditation. While revamping your lifestyle to become a yoga-devotee may not be in the cards for you, consider incorporating some of these ideas - quiet time, deep breathing and visualization - for a short period of time each day. Whether you're "psyching up" at your desk for a few minutes before work or relaxing during your commute, a few daily minutes of "you-time" will help you relax and focus on your overall goals.

The bottom line is, regardless of how you choose to manage it, feeling stress is a choice we make, not an uncontrollable force. In other words, stress is merely a mental and physical reaction to external stimuli - one every man can choose to accept or reject.
