This blog is my own thoughts and opinions on topics related to counselling and psychotherapy.

Reducing stress

Stress. Everyone talks about it. Pretty much everyone has some level of it in their life. But no one seems to know how to handle it or change it. Most people think that to reduce it they must have to spend hours doing something to make it different. I would like to suggest otherwise.

Reducing stress does not take a lot of time nor a lot of thought. Its not rocket science nor is it particularly difficult. It requires one thing and one thing only. SLOW DOWN.

Now those are just two little words but they can have a lot of impact on your life. Going faster doesn’t mean you will get there faster. Often in the city it means you get there in the same amount of time but you have the illusion of getting there quicker.

Those two little words can change your life. So take a breath, slow down and be less stressed. Add to that taking a moment to say good morning or smile at someone and you have the recipe for a less stressful life.

Try it. SLOW DOWN. SMILE. BREATHE. SAY GOOD MORNING TO SOMEONE.

Be less stressed.
