<p><em>This is a syndicated (and edited) article</em></p>
<p>Emotional stress is a part of existence whether we like it or not. It doesn&#8217;t matter how we each try to stop it, it&#8217;s going to  keep coming back and possibly haunt you each day of your life. Stress and anxiety might be expected when you go through your typical schedule, or simply appear into the open and stun you.</p>
<p>Difficulties, major or even minuscule,  have an affect on all of us emotionally, mentally, and also physically. Regardless of whether we each keep on smiling on the surface there is frequently tension on the inside.  The most effective way to cope with tension is to never allow it to get a foothold. You should manage it ahead of when it actually begins to build – so the secret to your success depends on <em>you</em>.</p>
<p>Basic Pointers for a <a href="http://www.selfmiracle.net" target="_blank">Personal Development Plan</a></p>

Below are a few strategies that you can make use of start getting the emotional stress out of your system.</p>
<ol>

Your body is able to only do so much and may deteriorate once we surpass our own potential (<em>overtraining</em> in athletics is an example.) Any time you feel some aches and discomfort as you are doing work then you take a moment and loosen up before it turns to something more painful.</li>
<li><strong> Unwind and enjoy</strong>. Engaging in some physical activity will often help to unwond.  A good <a href="http://www.gems4friends.com/massage.html">massage</a> helps in that it relaxes all those tight muscles that result in soreness and restrict your body&#8217;s flexibility.</li>
<li><strong> Work it out and sweat it out</strong>. Exercise is truly a great way to deal with emotional stress in addition to keeping your body in good shape, but sometimes we&#8217;re unable to devote much time to it. Even a light workout a few times per week will do amazing things for your cardiovascular function in addition to lowering your stress levels.</li>
</ol>
<p>Your mental outlook.(mindset) also has a lot to do with how well you deal with stress. Working on that mendset is as important as working on your physical body. <a href="http://www.gems4friends.com/affirmations.html">Positive, daily affirmations</a> are a good way to point your mind in the right direction, and <a href="http://www.gems4friends.com/goals/">goal setting</a> is another.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This is a syndicated article</em></p>
<p>We have all heard the old phrase, <em>attitude is everything</em>, and that phrase is certainly true. Your attitude can have a profound impact on your <a href="http://www.personalmotivationtips.com" target="_blank">personal motivation</a>, therefore it is important to keep that positive attitude, no matter what challenges and roadblocks are thrown up in your way.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, keeping your attitude a positive one in the face of overwhelming odds is the motivation tips that owners of the most successful businesses will all give you. The most successful business owners, from the Sam Walton to Bill Gates, have all been able to triumph in the face of adversity. It is those successful business owners many people have in mind when they tell you that attitude is everything.</p>
<p>One of the most important ways to implement that <em>attitude is everything</em> axiom is to observe who you associate with and who you surround yourself with. Surrounding yourself with people who exhibit positive attitudes will also be contagious, but in a good way. Keeping your network of associates, colleagues, coworkers and friends as positive as possible is a great way to put the phrase “attitude is everything” into practical use.</p>
<p>Whatever you decide to do in life, your attitude will have a profound effect on the success you achieve. Success, whether in the world of business or personal life, is directly related to your attitude. A <a href="http://affirmations.gems4friends.com/articles/">positive attitude</a> will help you achieve greater success in your job, no matter what your current level of employment. Many people are still able to work their way up through their companies, even in today’s competitive environment. Exhibiting a positive attitude can go a long way toward helping you get the most from your employment, and it can help you get the attention of those in a position to help your caree. Business achievers understand a good attitude and they can recognize yours and award it appropriately.</p>
<p>A positive <em>can do</em> attitude is important to being a quality employee, but taking that attitude to heart is absolutely essential if you plan to start <em>your own </em>business. Whether your plans are for a one person part time enterprise, or a nationwide company employing hundreds or thousands of people, the attitude you express will be reflected in your business and in the members of your staff.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you balance work, rest, and play?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This is a guest article:</em></p>
<p>My home page for the internet is Louise Hay’s <em>Affirmation page</em>, so every time that I go online I have a nice <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/affirmation" rel="tag">affirmation</a> there waiting for me.  Today the affirmation was “<em>I balance my life between work, rest and play. They all get equal time.</em>”  Hmmmm.  How true is this statement in your life?</p>
<p>Do you balance work, rest, and play?  I realised (somewhat to my horror!) that, in my case, playtime really comes in only if I’ve ‘booked’ time to play – like my day at the beach last week, or going to see Hamlet in Stratford tonight – or if I have time ‘left over’ to play after I’ve worked and rested!  The end result is that playtime is getting about 20% of my time at most.  RUBBISH!</p>
<p>Enough already!  It’s time to bump playtime up the priority list!  I admin I have gotten into bad habits lately. I’ve been busy and working quite a lot…and because I am good at self care, resting a lot too…but at the expense of playtime!  Shocking.</p>
<p>And what’s worse, I know that I am better at  this balance than most people I know.  Many are very unbalanced (in terms of “work, rest and play” that is &#8211; not mentally unbalanced!), and the big missing ingredient is playtime.  It’s heart-breaking to see, because playtime makes you come alive, playtime is fun, playtime is vital to you having a happy life – let’s face it, how much better do you feel when you’ve been on holiday?  And why?<br />
Because you’ve had uninterrupted playtime!</p>
<p>Holidays are all about recharging your batteries and devoting yourself to having some fun…and then we come home and forget to play for another 11 months and 2 weeks.  It’s foolish to neglect your fun muscles – if they get flabby you’ll get miserable.  I’m sure I don’t really need to extol the virtues of play – you know yourself that when you take part in activities that you enjoy, you feel better.</p>
<p>So when was the last time you deliberately took part in an activity you enjoy and made a conscious choice to savour that playtime?  Why not start tonight?  Instead of sitting numbly in front of the idiot box, make an effort to do something playful and fun (if that’s tv for you, ok…but as long as you’re actively enjoying it, not just wobbed out in front of it!).  You see people, it’s time to take playtime seriously!</p>
<p>Something to play with</p>
<p>Part 1:  What is the balance of work, rest and play in your life?  60/30/10?  40/40/20?  Have a guess at the proportions – your best guess will be quite accurate!  What can you do TODAY to start restoring the balance (especially the playtime bit!)?</p>
<p>Part 2:  What do you do to play?  Aim to get a list of 100 things (it might take time, but you can do it!).</p>
<p>Part 3:  Do something off that list DAILY.</p>
