Before you can decrease stress, you must recognize it.

Many times people don't recognize the need to decrease stress in their lives. They are so accustomed to living in a fast-paced, do-do-do world that they don't even realize they are stressed until they feel bad.

The realities of stress

Stress! No one is exempt from it and it influences many aspects of life and business.

We are influenced by so many factors that can increase stress.

You have the power within you to do at least 50% of the work to heal yourself.

Your belief system, faith, and what you believe in overall will influence how you navigate stress.

When do you need to begin addressing the stress in your life?

Actively work to manage stress to avoid burnout.

The breath test

When you take a deep breath in, if the breath stops short in your chest, you are stressed. If your breath flows down to your belly button, you aren't stressed.

High-stress levels may also make you jumpy or irritable.

Gratitude helps decrease stress

When you wake up put your hand on your heart and feel your heartbeat and take a deep breath. Since health is wealth, you'll realize how blessed you are to be healthy and feel gratitude. When you feel gratitude, you realize how you can achieve so much more.

Breath is your wealth. One shouldn't take breathing for granted. Your relationship with yourself and your faith is key to success.

In summary, there are five ways to decrease or relieve stress:

1. Verbal expression
2. Breathing
3. Journaling
4. Shake off your body, give your whole body a shake, and take a deep breath. You'll feel the stress melt off of you.
5. Diet and exercise to balance out the cortisol.
