Did you know that chronic stress can cause health problems like heart disease, cancer, and obesity? One way to change your results is strategic thinking. Strategic thinking? Can you calm down after your first impulsive thoughts and weigh the pros and cons of your thoughts before you act?
One way to improve your ability to think without negative or impulsive thoughts is to learn to take responsibility for your thoughts. It is easy to blame others for your fears and anxieties, but deep down you know that no one can control what you think or how you react to your thoughts. If you take more responsibility for your thoughts, the likelihood that you will blame others or stress yourself when things don't go your way will decrease! ace
How can you do this? Do not let negative thoughts dominate you. Learn how to act as a guardian of the unconscious thought stream that flows into your conscious experience. Some of these thoughts are based on negative results, others are based on doubts about your ability to succeed, fears, and uncertainties. These thoughts can be stressful if you do not see a concrete reality that you can control and influence.
The second way to develop health-conscious strategic thinking is to avoid negative people. Negative people, with their doubts and predictions of negative outcomes, can ruin the best worked out plans. They can stoke the fire of doubt and steal your confidence. Avoid it.
A third way to cultivate strategic thinking, reduce stress, and improve your health is to create a stress-reduction diary or creative magazine. In this way, you can identify which thoughts and actions have been most helpful and least helpful for you. You will be able to see what you thought was wrong and it will be easier to improve. You will also be able to focus on achieving positive results. Developing a consistent habit of creative journalism will help you stop thinking the worst in every situation, reduce your anxiety and stress levels, and be realistic about possible outcomes.
If you face the reality that you can strategically control your thoughts, you will be able to deal with stress and minimize the negative health effects of high blood pressure, heart attack, obesity, and cancer.
