Stress Management - Relieve Your Stress by Helping Others
If you're anything like me you get something on your mind and you can't think of anything else.
It's almost like we're looking for a way to not only get stressed, but to stay stressed.
By keeping a negative thought continuously flowing in your mind your heading down the path of stress and depression.
This takes its toll on you and your family.
It can affect the way you react to your spouse and kids.
Causing arguments that just keep going.
How about if I told you one of the best ways to help yourself is by helping others.
When you help people that are less fortunate then you and yes there are people less fortunate then you- you are almost force to stop thinking of your own problems and see life in a whole new prospective.

So take the focus off yourself and put it on someone or something else in a positive way.

1.
Local Church - need volunteers in the kitchen or at funerals and other services 2.

Nursing home - just someone to talk, read, play games.
If you want to do something really big adopt a grandparent.
5.
Animal shelter - those pets need to be fed cared for and maybe a little love wouldn't hurt.
