How To Reduce Stress By Changing Your Attitude

One of the leading causes of severe stress in our lives is having high expectations and getting upset when reality doesn't quite meet our demands. Life is complex, and sometimes the way we'd like things to go simply isn't the way it ends up going! When we lock things in to going only one way, we get really emotionally invested in our desires and end up getting stressed out, anxious, and angry when things don't seem to work out.

The simple solution to dramatically cutting down how much stress you feel each day is to adjust the way you see success and reality!

We should all strive for what we want in life, be we need to remain open to things happening in ways we may not have anticipated. If you make the most perfect plans and cover every base, you are only doing it from your individual perspective. We're just one person in a really big universe - so sometimes even our most perfect plans are pretty one-sided and limited in scope! Letting the universe in on our plans is a great way to relax from the worry and stay open to things happening in ways we may never have expected.

When you want something and go for it, just focus on the feeling. Be in the space of joy as much as you can and stay there. The details will come up as part of the process and you can handle them one at a time. Knowing what you want and working towards your goal in harmony with infinite possibilities about how those goals may come to be will literally create miracles in your life.

Imagine that you want to go to the store, but you have one very specific route you take to get there all the time. What if you ended up being taken off course because of a closed road and for that reason found a new market with organic produce and great parking that you never knew existed? This is how we need to live our lives! Know you want to be at the store, but be open to how life might get you there. Instead of going straight to anger and anxiety when your normal road was closed, celebrate the chance to break a pattern and experience things in a whole new way... the results will always be meaningful if you aren't too busy being mad to see them!
