Tip number two on how to use stress as a personal growth tool, is to allow stress to motivate you to make a positive change in your life.  Nobody likes feeling stressed out, so why not use those feelings as motivation to remove them from your life. 

In many cases it is these negative feelings that are the most powerful motivators for change.  We should all be able to live in a happy and relaxed state of mind.  When stress starts to rule your life, know that you deserve to feel better. 

The important thing to remember is that you must get to the root cause of the stress in order to eliminate it.  If you don’t know what is wrong, how are you going to be able to fix it?  If you just simply need a break then  go for a walk, or meditate, or listen to a nice piece of music.  Hiding behind things such as overeating, smoking, taking drugs or alcohol is just going to make matters worse in the long run. 

Remember prolonged stress can be a contributing factor to depression, anxiety and many health concerns.   Do not accept it as part of your everyday life.  Know that you deserve better.  Your life coach may be able to help you identify where the problem lies, and to help you get back on the right track.
