How to Cope With Stressful Thoughts

Are you concerned about nagging thoughts or worries that often stand in your way of feeling good? Then may I recommend trying a technique called thought stopping. This method is used to eradicate stressful thoughts. It's simple to do no matter where you are. Just simply recognize negative thoughts, and then reduce their impact.

Here's an example: you are so stressed by a petty remark a coworker makes, you can't concentrate on anything else, and you find yourself dwelling on it for hours.

Here's how to approach this problem.

First isolate the stressful thought, close your eyes and focus on it briefly then count to three. If you are alone shout "stop" or if you are in the presence of others imagine a stop sign, a flashing red light, or the word "stop" in big bold letters.

If these thoughts are still present then repeat this process again. Once these thoughts are gone then return to your normal activity.

This technique can be used any time you feel yourself obsessed with negative thoughts. A tip you might want to consider if work problems dominate your thoughts especially if you're not at work, is to visually substitute an off-duty sign in place of the stop sign.

There may be times you find yourself experiencing fatigue or lack of energy. If you suffer from mood swing's or memory loss, or irritable and just plain stressed out then I recommend you consider taking herbal stress vitamins.
