Reducing stress can help you live longer, healthier, and happier. When you move to live longer and healthier, happiness often follows pursuit. Stress is pressures, or physiological responses, which when pressure occurs the body and mind will respond. Most times the person feels threatened, or fears change, or else feels challenged when stress occurs. Nowadays, we have to work twice as hard to survive, which has increased the rates of illnesses stemming from stress. The number of people today suffering has reached far past 1 million each year.

Stress is a positive influence however. When you feel stress you want to turn the negative energy into positive thinking. How it works?

First, remember to tell your self sufficient each day for no one knows what tomorrow will bring. Furthermore, learn to live one day at a time, unless you are overwhelmed with stress, and then learn to live one second at a time. If you are using alcohol or drugs to relieve constant tension, you want to consider practices other healthier tactics. If you are loosing sleep and find that alcohol helps you sleep, remember, when you drink you loose REM sleep. REM is the dream state, which is important.

You can go to the local pharmacist and purchase Melatonin supplements, which will relax the nerves and help you sleep. Melatonin costs a few bucks, and will save you more than you will spend on alcohol or drugs to relax.

When you want to live long you should be prepared to be disciplined and follow the right rules of health. you will need to put forth effort that will make you feel better. Stop a lifestyle of drinking, smoking and all those other nasty words then expect to live longer and healthier life.

One of the best things you can do to live longer is to exercise and eat right. The problem is nowadays the FDA is putting harmful stuff in our foods that is causing fatalities and few are recognizing what is truly going on. Diabetes is one of the leading health problems causing death, yet cures are available, the FDA and Pharmacists are fighting it because they prefer to make money, rather than save lives.

Minimizing the symptoms of diabetes

I learnt that if you adhere to a fiber-based food you can beat diabetes, or else minimize the symptoms of diabetes. Now, most people are not going to tell you this because, (we won’t speak names) but they would prefer you to rely on prescriptions or drugs to survive an illness. The fact is you can use natural substances to survive. Still, the only problem is sprays and other harmful chemicals are contaminating nature.

What are we to do?

We have the choice, and that is to exercise and do our best to eat the foods that will not contaminate our bodies. We have to fight in other words to live longer and healthier, simply because the truth is, man is causing his own injury. We can grow our own vegetables and fruits, which we can avoid harmful chemicals that will pollute such natural vitamins. Still, we need to work the muscles, bones, joints, and other elements of our body to survive what man is destroying.

Exercise is proven to enhance health and life. Exercise helps us to grow stronger and live healthier. To understand this we must understand how the body functions. We must understand that joints, bones, muscles, cells, blood, and all that good stuff plays a large part in how we can live longer and healthier.

Maintaining the body

The body has ways that tell us what we need. When the body does not receive what it needs it will let us know. When the body tells us what it needs and we neglect to do anything about it, guess what? We experience suffering. We experience illness. We experience pain, and eventually we end up on medications that help to determine which direction our lives will go.

The body has metabolism, pineal glands, blood, cells, tissues, joints, and more. While you may think that the muscles and bones is essential to protect, the fact you need to protect the joints first, since the joints affect the bones and muscles and if you injure a cartilage (joint) you would have done damage to the bones and muscles. When you injure the muscles and bones, you have problems. Still, the spine (Central Nervous System) is affected; we have ongoing illness, which deteriorates the life. WE have a problem.

Now if you want to live longer and healthier, you will need to protect the CNS- Central Nervous System, otherwise you are in serious trouble.

This is where exercise comes in. If you perform proper exercise you can protect and strengthening the spine, and in turn you will build life and health. You may eat the foods contaminated, yet when you exercise you open up airways that will not open with foods and in turn, you have a security that will walk the dog. You build resistance, strength, and

metabolism. This is what you want to focus on while considering living longer and healthier in life. Reducing stress can help you live longer, healthier, and happier.

We all go through days when the world seems to tumble on our shoulders. At this time we may feel living healthier, longer, and happier is out of reach. Some of us deal with stress as it comes our way, while others find it hard to handle. What is the problem? Stress is a daily factor that we all must face each day. There is no way out of stress. If you learn how to minimize stressors and reduce stress it can help you live longer, healthier, and happier. One of the best ways to reduce stress is performing stretch exercises. With this in mind we can learn a few helpful tips to teach you a few stretch exercises to reduce stress. When you practice regular exercise, you are working to boost energy, sleep sounder, boost self-esteem, and so forth.

Stress reducers

Posture: The posture is important. When the posture is in good working condition you can often sit at least ten minutes without feeling uneasy. Before you start exercise you should always check your posture, which should be aligned.

Breathing

Stretch exercises and meditation require proper breathing. While preparing to live longer, healthier, and happier you want to breathe naturally while performing any exercise, meditation and so forth.

Meditation

Before starting exercise you may want to practice meditation. Meditation helps to clear your mind and enforce positive thinking. You will need to practice focusing your attention while performing meditation practices. Some people prefer to listen to easy sounds, while others focus better on objects. You will want to make a choice before practicing meditation.

Attitude

Your attitude plays a part in living healthier, longer, and happier. When you have a positive outlook or attitude it moves you to achieve your goals and plans to live longer, healthier, and happier.

To start meditation and stretches sit in the floor. We can start with the Lotus Position, i.e. unless you have an injured back. You can still perform the meditation practice, yet you may have to sit in a different fashion. While performing the Lotus meditation practice, sit on the floor. Make sure the posture is straight. Now with open palms place your hands upright on your knees, while you lock your legs. When you first sit in the floor, make sure your legs are stretched to the front. Next, you want to bend the knee and use your hand to grasp your right foot. You want to bring the foot in toward the abdominal, by placing it upon your thigh. (Left)

Perform the same action on the right foot. (Buddha Meditation) The Lotus Position Meditation is a Buddha practice. During the process you want to, once the feet are in place, you want to make sure the knees are touching the floor, while the feet scales turn upward. Make sure posture and head is in alignment. Relax the stomach muscles. While the palms are turned upward and resting on your knees, touch the thumbs on each finger, joining them

with the pointing finger. Now you can start meditation. If you lit a candle to focus on, thus focus on the object and allow the mind to freely let go of thoughts.

NOTE: You may want to stretch a couple of times before performing Lotus Position Meditation. This will help the muscles flex with ease.

Practicing meditation will boost your awareness, as well as promote relaxation. When the mind and body relaxes, it promotes health, life span, and happiness. If you are uncomfortable with this type of Lotus Meditation, you may want to consider the Half Lotus, or the Perfect Posture positions. Mediation is a surefire way to help you live longer, happier, and healthier.

We should only discussing about exercise, nutrition, vitamins, and so forth, and we can move to live healthier, happier, and longer. Still, we need to consider habits, behaviors, thinking, and conduct to live a fuller lifestyle.

Some behaviors many people conform to include placating, sparring, always right, daydreams, derailing, filters, reading minds, advice, rehearsing, judging, and so forth.

In the word we have fights, arguments, and breakups in homes, as well as bullying and disagreements in school. The problem is breakdowns in communication, denial, and inappropriate behaviors, habits, thinking, actions, and so forth.

Sometimes when couples are together for a length of time they will often create fantasies or daydream, thus drifting away from their partner. This often leads to breakdown in relationships, and it is an unfair, unjust act against another person. Sure we all daydream or skip out for a moment, yet when we take it too far and use it as an attempt to escape reality, we are only causing harm. If you want to live longer, healthier and happier you will need to adjust this form of behavior and/or habit.

Problem of unfinished story

One of the common problems we face today is people failing to hear an entire story, or else cutting people off before they have time to finish talking. Often people miss the messages in between the communication. For

instance, David abruptly cut Mary off when she was telling him about her job overload. David did not want to hear about problems, so he quickly shifted the conversation to what he did that day. This is disrespectful when all Mary needed was a bit of comfort and possible consent to allow her emotions and feelings to show.

NOTE: After interviewing scores of people, I see this is a major problem.

This problem causes deeper problems, which is seen when excessive drinking, drugs, arguments, and fights occur. Placating works in the same way, i.e. often messages in communication is missed. When a person placates they work to reduce anger, by saying things that pleases the person.

Judging others

One of the largest problems in the world is judging. Scores of people judge and rarely do they truly get to know the person they judge. For instance, a local girl, for years was condemned, called ungodly names, and about ten years down the road people watched her behaviors and deeply apologized. While damaging was done, not one person over ten years had enough sense to stop judging. Judging causes the emotions to uproar, which leads to doubt, fear, and negative energy. If you want to live a longer, healthier, and happier life, stop judging others.

Many people read minds.

That is they often put words in the mouth of others, rather than hearing what is truly said to them. For instance, Jerry told Lisa that her hair looked good. Lisa silently thought, “He doesn’t like the way I did my hair today.” When someone says your hair looks good, why would you think that the person is lying? When you think you can read peoples’ mind, you may want to get a job and go in the World’s Book of Genus.

As you can see behaviors, thinking patterns, habits, conduct, and the like needs adjusting to live a longer, healthier, and happier life. When you allow such behaviors to rule your mind, what you are doing is damning your health.

Still, you will need to exercise, eat right, and stop other habits that could lead to poor health. For instance, if you drink excessively or fail to exercise your health will gradually deteriorate which in time you will feel miserable. Exercise to live longer and healthier.

There are a number of emotion regulation strategies that people can master to build their coping skills. It is important to consider which strategies are most useful and which ones to avoid.

There are two broad categories of emotional regulation. The first is reappraisal: changing how we think about something in order to change our response. The second is suppression, which is linked to more negative outcomes. Research indicates that ignoring our emotions is associated with dissatisfaction and poor well-being.

Let’s look at 7 strategies that can help to manage emotions in a healthy and helpful way.

1. Identify and reduce triggers

You shouldn’t try to avoid negative emotions — or be afraid of them. But you also don’t have to keep putting yourself in a situation that brings on unpleasant emotions. Start to look for patterns or factors that are present when you start to feel strong emotions. This requires some curiosity and honesty. Did something make you feel small? Strong emotions often spring up out of our deep-seated insecurities, especially the ones we hide. What is happening around you and what past experiences does it bring up for you?

When you identify these triggers, you can start to explore why they carry so much weight and whether you can reduce their importance. For example, a CEO might be embarrassed to admit that he gets angry when discussing numbers because he struggled in math class. Understanding this trigger might be enough. Or, the CEO might choose to preview the monthly charts in private to avoid the trigger of feeling like everyone else is waiting for him.

2. Tune into physical symptoms

Pay attention to how you are feeling, including whether you are feeling hungry or tired. These factors can exacerbate your emotions and cause you to interpret your emotions more strongly. If you can address the underlying issue (e.g. hunger, exhaustion), you can change your emotional response.

3. Consider the story you are telling yourself

In the absence of information, we fill in the blanks with details of our own. Perhaps you are feeling rejected after you haven’t heard from a family member; you believe it is because they no longer care about you.

Before you make these attributions, ask yourself: what other explanations might be possible? In the example of the family member, what else could be going on with them that would stop them from reaching out to you? Could they be busy or sick? Are they a well-intentioned person who often forgets to follow through on commitments?

BetterUp’s Shonna Waters recommends the “just like me” technique. Whatever motive or action you are assigning to the other person (there’s almost always another person involved), add “just like me” to the end. It is a way of reminding yourself that they are also an imperfect human being.

4. Engage in positive self-talk

When our emotions feel overwhelming, our self-talk can become negative: “I messed up again” or “everyone else is so awful.” If you treat yourself with empathy, you can replace some of this negative talk with positive comments. Try encouraging yourself by saying “I always try so hard” or “People are doing the best they can.” This shift can help mitigate the emotions we’re feeling. You can still be frustrated with a situation that isn’t working but no longer have to assign blame or generalize it beyond the situation.

5. Make a choice about how to respond

In most situations, we have a choice about how to respond. If you tend to respond to feelings of anger by lashing out at people, you likely notice the negative impact it is having on your relationships. You might also notice that it doesn’t feel good. Or, it feels good at the moment, but the consequences are painful.

Next time you feel anger or fear, recognize that you get to choose how you want to respond. That recognition is powerful. Rather than lashing out, can you try a different response? Is it possible for you to tell someone that you’re feeling angry rather than speaking harshly to them? Get curious about what will happen if you switch up your responses. How did you feel? How did the other person respond?

6. Look for positive emotions

Human beings naturally attribute more weight to negative emotions than positive ones. This is known as negativity bias. Negative emotions, like disgust, anger, and sadness tend to carry a lot of weight. Positive feelings, like contentment, interest, and gratitude are quieter. Making a habit of noticing these positive experiences can boost resilience and well-being.

7. Seek out a therapist

Managing our own emotions can be difficult. It requires a high degree of self-awareness. When we’re having a hard time, our emotional self-regulation begins to suffer. Sometimes we need a partner like a therapist who can help us learn better self-regulation skills. Fortunately, there are a number of therapeutic solutions that can help us learn to better regulate our emotions. You can purchase IteraCare therapy device to help you for self therapy.

Control Emotions

At what time emotions uproar, it affects the heart, which often leads to poor health. If you want to live longer, healthier, and happier, you want to control emotions. Clarifying is another way to control emotions, which promotes healthier living. When you learn to paraphrase, it will take you to clarification.

For instance, when a woman is upset you may strike out emotionally at her mate, which he responds with negative returns. This all leads to unhappiness, and will cause health problems, which your life will shorten.

Paraphrase

When you paraphrase during communication you summarize what is being said. When you restate information often it clarifies communication, which produces a much productive relationship. We can view a few samples to help you see how paraphrasing can reduce argument.

Paraphrasing will stop inactive listening. Paraphrasing will also correct any allegations, assumptions, or misunderstood communication. When you paraphrase you also make each other happy, since you will feel heard and acknowledged. Communication works both ways, and if you paraphrase you can reduce angry emotions, which often escalate when information is misunderstood. Paraphrasing is a good way to increase memory as well.

Negative energy

Negative energy will only lead to health problems, breakdown in relationships, and so forth. Negative energy is bad, which leads to unhappiness, discourage, anger, and pessimistic thinking. Basically, negative emotions are denial and refusal in summary.

In truth, negative energy is a large problem that is causing people to suffer. Some of the results from negative energy (emotional response) are heart failure, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and so forth. As you can see learning to use active listening tactics can help you live longer, healthier, and happier.

NOTE: Did you know that a person with pure positive energy will reflect on others, and often the energy will share across a room, spreading warmth?

It’s true. When you learn to develop positive energy you will shine like a star, which will make you feel happy inside. To grow to smart thinking, (Using the mind to think, rather than the emotions) you can also learn to practice listening to feedback. When you give or receive feedback you will not use judgment, negative criticism, and so forth. Rather, you will have pure intentions when listening or giving feedback. As you learn to paraphrase you will build skills, such as clarifying and feedback. Living longer, healthier and happier is becoming a worldwide demand nowadays. In the absence of these you can use therapy to correct the Wrong Signals from emotional responses.

The true fact is that if you want happiness, you have to reach out to embrace the natural resources and allow them to guide you to happiness and healthy life. Still, if you want to live longer and healthier you will need to adapt to a new life style, which is free of drugs, chemicals, substances, particular habits and conduct, and so forth. You will need to exercise to augment metabolism, bones, joints, and muscles. And also life changing Therapy

A few other things we can consider is reading minds, rehearsing, judging, filtering, advise, daydreams, placates, sparring, derails, being right, and so forth. Most people fail to see that the way they conduct themselves could cause stress, which makes them unhappy and unhealthy

Many people avoid seriousness. When a conversation becomes serious a person might derail by laughing off the information, or else joking. While you may think this is a way to reduce stress, the fact is derailing only sets a person up for many falls to come. Sometimes you have to be serious and there is nothing wrong with it. While you may want to escape reality, the fact is one day you are going to wake and smell the hardcore facts of reality, and when it hits you in the face so hard, you will look back and wish you hadn’t spent your life derailing.
