Staying in Touch for Stress Relief
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

Staying in touch ... we say it so lightly, yet it's an important concept for our wellness. Staying in touch with others, staying in touch with ourselves, and staying in actual physical touch with our lives are all important.

One of the ways to reach relaxation and give ourselves some relief from daily stress is to touch someone or something. It stills our brain which is always thinking, and allows us to go somewhere else for a change.

Our "self-talk" can be a great source of stress, and one we can change and eliminate. It's not just the things that are going on in our world that stress us, but how we look at it, which in turn becomes what we "say" to ourselves about it.

We may say, "This is awful," or "I'm an idiot," or "I'll never get through this." These are not helpful statements, and in fact add to our stress. But our brain keeps generating these things until we learn to manage what goes on in there better. This may be the origin of the phrase, "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." When our "minds" aren't occupied we can generate thoughts that are upsetting to us. I have also heard this quoted as "Idle hands are the devil's tools."

So why not keep those hands and that mind occupied so it doesn't "go there". Anger doesn't help, worry doesn't help, pessimism and ruminating don't help.

Whether we use the word "brain" or "mind" or a part of the brain (left), you're probably familiar with that voice in your head ... it usually comes up when you need it the least, and it is rarely helpful.

The best way to deal with stress is to remove the sources of it. Then develop your Emotional Intelligence.

Here are ways some people use to give themselves some relief from the stress for a while.

KNITTING

Knitting is having a comeback. If you're old enough to remember Rosie Grier (football player), you'll remember that he at one time took up knitting, and how surprised everyone was. So if you're a guy and would like to give it a try, you're in good company.

A male doctor in our town won the needlepoint contest for many years, and this craft is enjoyed by many. You have to think just enough to knit to quiet the brain, and then your hands are busy. I used it a lot to handle tension when I was in college. It's quiet, inexpensive and you can make some pretty things as your talent increases. More people are taking it up all the time.

It seemed rather incongruous that in a society of supersophisticated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners.
