Welcome to the Anxiety Slayer Series. Our mission is to assist you with creating more peace and tranquility in your life

anxiety.

How many times have you reacted to stress by blurting out a harsh response and escalating in the situation.

It can be hard not to.

If you're already simmering, then any extra little stress is going to provoke a spurt of steam.

Sometimes your steam just evaporates into the air, but sometimes

it scolds the people around you, and that's not a good thing. So how can you stop those

spontaneous eruptions? One way is to gather a selection of stress

relief techniques and play around with them. There are a whole variety of ways to

deal with challenges and frustrations and it feels wonderful to know that you can break out of old patterns and grow new

responses that are truly in line with who you want to be.

It's often helpful when you want to learn a new skill to look for other people who've already mastered it.

If you know someone who's able to keep cool, calm and collected, no matter what's going on around them, watch them. You can look at their

posture, notice their breathing, as well as listen and look out for more obvious

signs of how they operate. If someone's good at handling stress, it usually means they know how to relax.

Not only do they know how to relax, but they are relaxed.

Their shoulders are not up by their ears.

Their gestures are smooth, and they have an easy-going air about how they do everything.

I've met a few people like this, and they fascinate me.

I'd like to share five of my favorite lessons I learned by observing others who handle stress brilliantly.

Number one, take your time.
