So, how to control and confront stress in an effective way?
The method is easy yet it needs a firm mind to execute it. By thinking positively and helping others to free themselves of the undesirable effects of stress, one can reduce own anxiety levels. When you close your eyes, take three deep breaths, visualise some calming scenes, you defuse stress. And if circumstances allow it, there are also some positive affirmations that offer effective protection.
For example:
This is just temporary.
Providence is with me.
Everything that happens is for the best.
Let it go and allow God to do his work.
Things are getting better and better.
Today will be a perfect day.

Recognise the signs of Stress
Psychic Maria Duval has stated that HAPPINESS is the greatest source of knowledge, power and joy.
Maria Duval has to tell you that there is some underlying factor in your life, which is tending to block your success. Not only is this element stopping you from being truly happy, it is also gradually draining your life energy, blocking the light, sapping your vital living organs and withering your physical strengths.
Let us talk a bit about stress. Once you know how to interpret and control stress, all elements of your life you set about reprogamming will take a giant step forward. So, you will really become someone who is more positive and optimistic. Your personality will become magnetic and your social life will improve. Next, you will find there is a state of happiness in your life, and life will change for the better.
Maria Duval thinks that we all know this fact without doubt. Stress always creeps up on you. How will you know you are going through a prolonged period of stress if you don't have any kind of early warning system in place? You are at the end of the tether, your blood pressure is rising, you become impossible to live with, your immune system starts to fail you and the functioning of your vital organs is affected. That is why it is very important to detect possible symptoms of stress at the very early stages.
Life often casts all sorts of stressful situations in our path. For example, teenage children getting out of hand and rebellious, stacks of mounting bills to pay off, incessant noise created by neighbours, and of course, job related stresses.
So from now on, recognise that stress is extremely toxic to your spiritual health and if not curbed, can lead to mental and physical impairments. It is a highly negative energy that saps you and drains you. You deserve a life that is joyous and happy~
