“We’ve got a thousand different diagnoses and diseases out there. They’re just the weak link. They’re all the result of one thing: stress. If you put enough stress on the chain and you put enough stress on the system, then one of the links breaks.”

The Secret

All stress begins with a negative thought. Negative thoughts can build up until poor health results. Poor health can be disease, the inability to heal, or stress. There are many options available for eliminating stress. Whether it be relaxation, organization, or counseling, the ultimate cure is positive thinking.

Recognizing the difference between good and bad stress is the first step in stress management. Good stress provides motivation to complete daily tasks at home and at work, while bad stress has negative side effects that can harm mental health and lead to other health problems. Many people do not consider good stress to be stress because often the feeling of completing daily tasks is uplifting. Negative stress is noticed when the satisfaction of completing tasks becomes boring, frustrating, or tiresome.

Knowing the symptoms of prolonged stress will help in determining the treatment needed for stress recovery. Anxiety, boredom, depression, emotional fatigue, headaches, sleep disturbances, muscle aches, withdrawal of contact from others, as well as more severe symptoms like severe depression, drug and alcohol abuse, loss of sex drive, crying, sleeplessness, and lowered ability to perform work and other daily activities.

Thinking positively, one thought at a time, will eliminate stress. The power of positive thinking is outstanding, providing immediate results. This is not to say that positive thinking is easy, it can actually be very challenging if having been immersed in negative thought for long periods of time. Learn to eliminate stress by working on your mental health and positive thoughts, and seeking professional help if necessary.
