Marlise Karlin Offers Practical Tips for Releasing Holiday Stress

Today's guest article is from Marlise Karlin, a person who teaches people to reboot their lives through The Simplicity of Stillness®. I know you will find her holiday stress tips helpful.

Marlise Karlin (www.marlisekarlin.com), a person just like you and me who teaches people to reboot their lives through The Simplicity of Stillness®, offers practical and achievable tips to release stress and added pressure during the holiday season. Millions of Americas are already drained financially, emotionally, and physically as a result of their existing daily responsibilities and challenges, and the approaching holidays only increases anxiety and frustration.

A recent American Psychological Association “Stress in America” survey reports that seven in ten Americans say that money is a significant source of stress (71 percent), with similarly high percentages reporting stress resulting from work (69 percent) and the economy (63 percent). More than half of adults (55 percent) also cited family responsibilities as a significant source of stress in their lives.

Marlise Karlin offers healthy alternatives to releasing stress with the following tips:

1. Express: Become aware of why you are stressed and speak about what’s not working – try pacing in your living room – until you’ve said everything you needed to say. Really shout it out in a ‘I’m MAD AS HELL” kind of way. Soon, you will feel a shift in your disposition.

2. Write: If you haven’t formulated what the upset is, or have a hard time expressing yourself, then get out a pen or sit in front of your computer – and just write. You will be amazed at what pours out and how quickly you will feel the stress dissolve.

3. Reboot with The 3 Breath Awareness®: Take 3 DEEP breaths, each one focused on releasing any tension in your body – and connecting to that tranquil place of Stillness within. Envision the silent power of a mountain or the calming blue waters of a tranquil Sea. With each breath feel that infinite peace expanding.

4. Get Going: Change locations, move away from your desk or your present environment. Take a walk, a drive, or even go shopping. Get a different perspective – feel the mind relaxing as you get involved in other activities.

5. Smile & Laugh: We get so distracted; sometimes we need to remind ourselves to smile. Have a heart-to-heart or light-hearted conversation with friends, or even complete strangers, as it can change our state of mind so quickly. Talk with the sales person or the woman waiting in line. Watch your worries fade.

6. Gift Yourself: Buy something just for you. You have discovered how to shift you stress and share your happiness with others. You deserve a treat.
