10 Questions To Reduce Stress and Anxiety In Your Life

Today, we’re going to give you 10 important questions to ask to yourself to help you reduce stress and anxiety in your life.  These questions will help you discover areas of your life where you can grow and develop while reducing stress in the process.  These questions at times may seem like they are creating more stress than resolving it.  But this is only true in the short term.  These questions are powerful and will help you to work on a long term level for total stress reduction.

Everyday, there are things that we tolerate and overlook but most times there are things that stress us out.  Maybe it’s our “love handles” or cellulite that creates stress in our lives.  Sure, we’ll like to tone up and lose weight…. but we can’t seem to get motivated or make things happen.

That’s why we tolerate things and suppress the stress in our lives.  We decide not to focus or worry about it (but the truth is we just deny the problem all together).  Other times, we don’t speak up when things are really bothering us which leads to more stress and eventually it builds up to the point of an emotional break down, also known as a nervous break down.

If you want to really reduce stress and anxiety in your life, it is very important to speak your mind and have the right support you need if there is ever a problem too big to handle.  To identify the areas of your life that need improvement, ask yourself these 10 questions:

1. What do I really want? Clarity is power. If you get in touch with what you really want, then you’re more likely to make things happen. (Or recognize it when it comes your way).

2. Do I need to change? Sometimes, it is obvious that something isn’t working. Of course, if we keep doing the same things, we’ll get the same results. We need to try something different, or adjust our approach. Identifying our need to change (and coming up with some action steps, or maybe exploring our options) is the key to transformation.

3. How Can I Think Positive? When you’re down, look for some positive or good in your circumstances. Sometimes, a few seconds of reflection will lift your spirits and help you to smile again, even when things look bleak. Looking on the bright side also gives you a little burst of energy, which enables you to think creatively and come up with new ideas for problem solving.

4. Am I Comfortable With What I’m Doing? Don’t ignore warning signs, red flags, or that little voice inside that tells you something is not right.

5. Have I done enough for myself? Perhaps there is something that requires a step of faith. Or maybe it’s taking a risk. Explore your options. Don’t sell yourself short or hold back from pursuing your dreams.

6. Am I Happy with where I am today? Perhaps there is something else that you’d rather be doing. If you’re unhappy, ask yourself, “What could I do to feel happy right now?”, “What could I do to get me closer to being and feeling happier?”

7. Do I Appeal to the Opposite Sex? It is important to take care of your appearance. Even if you’re married (or in a committed relationship,) you don’t want to be sloppy about the way you look.  Your appearance is a reflection of who you are inside.  When you look your best, you’ll feel your best.  Come on, isn’t it an ego boost when someone finds you attractive?

8. Is there anything in my life that I am tolerating or overlooking? Sometimes, we don’t want to make an issue of things. Perhaps we avoid conflict, in order to keep the peace. Rather than stuffing or swallowing your feelings, make an effort to speak up and assert yourself. You can let people know how you feel and still be respectful of them.

9. What Motivates me? Being focused and on-track is a wonderful state to be in. There are lots of things that can get you pumped up and going. Maybe it’s your passion, driving force or life’s purpose. Get in touch with the things that motivate you.

10. Am I getting closer to making my dreams a reality? Identify the action steps you need to take. If you don’t know what to do, start looking around for answers. Read a book, do some research or talk to an expert.

Remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Be courageous, and take the first step to change your life for the better. Do it now, do it one step at a time.
