Stress relief strategies to stay focused although simple can be difficult to execute.

Let me explain

Mary was enjoying stress relief on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. She decided for some unknown reason to force things to happen faster. You see her stress relief strategies were to accomplish all her goals and desires instantly.

Instant stress relief and Success

Mary believed that the sooner she became financially successful with the beautiful home, fulfilling career, adoring children and a loving partner that she would have it made in the shade. This belief drove her stress relief strategies for instant success.

Left the tap running because she could not take the time to stay focused

Mary went into her basement from her kitchen and forgot to turn off the tap in the kitchen sink. She rushed into her basement and started to clean a room in the basement.
After a while, Mary noticed a drop of water because of the soft sound it made on the
table beside her.

Flooded kitchen

She hurried up the stairs to investigate the source of the water. When Mary walked into her kitchen, she was greeted by the flowing room temperature water on her feet as she noticed the water bubbling up, from her over-flowing sink.

Used one of her stress relief strategies

As soon as Mary realized that she had left the tap running in the kitchen, she did not get mad. Mary remembered and used one of her stress relief strategies. She stopped and accepted in her mind that she had made a mistake (left the tap running).

The benefit of stress relief and acceptance

This acceptance allowed Mary to recall her feeling of stress relief. In this state of mind, it was then very easy for Mary to stay focused and mop up the water in her kitchen without being angry for leaving the tap running.

So what is the moral of the story?

When you force things to happen it will cost you more of your time and effort correcting the mess you have made in the process. Stop rushing around and go with the flow.
