The brain is one of the most important organ of the body because if the brain is damage it can affect the overall being of you. You can live without some organ or some part of the body but you can't live without the brain.
Recently, i came across people who has various brain problem and story of people who died as a result of accumulated blood in the brain cell, which is coursed by stress. To some of you, you might not know about the the danger of stress until you see people who are suffering from it or perphas people who have lost their lives due to emotional and work stress.
The Following Might Help You To Manage Your Stress And Maintain a Healthy Brain;
Avoid Any Kind of Stress: stress is enemy to the brain and the body. I know in today world of hustling for one reason or the other, it is not easy to do away with stress but then they are some
stress you can actually do away with. Reduce your work stress, know thyself find out how your
work and know the capacity you can go. Don't just overcome yourself out because you what to make a living but rather choose a lifestyle that enable you to work in a stress free environment.
Avoid Negative Enegy: another thing you need to do away with is people with negative energy, if you come across people who makes you feel bad about yourself run away from them or give a breathing space. Keeping or tolerating negative people or any unpleasant situations could be dangerous and harmful to your general overwell being and even the brain. You are responsible for anything that happen to you in life, when it come to stress or even health in general. People
don't just fall ill or sick, there is always a reason either, through your lifestyle or what you allow in your life. Don't tolerante wicked or bad people in your life for the sake of over righteousness and kill yourself for nothing. They are not your enemies either, you just have to know your
circle of friends. God has given us the priviledge of choice, and you are likely to become like
the people you hang out with, so choose wisely. I have encountered some negative people in
my life since i relocated to Germany and each time i try to remember the memories it turns me crazy. It is easy for us to forget an appointment and some happy moment but we often remember every single time and minutes that someone has done us wrong. Avoiding such people and praying for them in your closet will do you more good.
Be a Thinker: thinking could mean different things to different people but here i will be talking on 'positive thinking'. I remember when i was Teen I had a book, theme: postive thinking and, i always want to open the book to read because i knew i will get a message that will keep me going for the day. That really helped me, as Teens who did'nt enjoy motherhood, i lost my
mummy at a very tender age but thinking positively helped me to push forward in life. Even when I lost my father, i still find way to stay positive and always happy. I think my postive
energy connected me to a lot of great people who were curious to know my source of joy.
I remember one of my friend once said to me, i would like to be an 'orphan like you' you seems to be having the best of life. Someone once asked me what is my source of inspiration and i said 'thinking'. I hope the fellow got the message, because thinking positively helps you to connect to the universe. It is only those who think deep that can find solution to some of their problems which no one has answer to. One of the things i learned from seeking counsel from other people; is that no one has a definite solution or answer to another person's problem in this world. You can only share your thoughts and worries with other people, just to ease you from the tension in that moment. I also, realised that telling people some of my challenges in life was one the biggest mistakes i made because i did't get any advice or solution to my problem from
any of my counsellor. But when i started thinking positively, i got connected to the right people and i was able to move on with my life.
Be Focus on What You Can Change: when you focus your mind on things you can achieve or change it helps you to believe in yourself and when you believe in yourself you will authomatically love yourself unconditionally. It is only when you are happy with your life, that you can take good care of yourself because enjoying life positively is the key to overcome any form of stress because nothing bothered you so much. By this way you live a life of contenment and happiness come from being contented in life. Like the Germans will say "ich bin zufrieden" meaning "i am contented". I live a life of contentment and i'm operating in a life of aboundance.
Sleep: the recommended hours for a sound sleep is 8 hours per night or day. Basically, having a sound sleep lasting 8 hours does help in stimulating brain growth. One of the easiest way of solving a problem is by sleeping over it. For example, my husband and I, whenever, we are face with any problem that will don't have a ready solution for, my husband will say to me 'it is better will sleep over it'. And that really help us in dealing with some challenges. So sometimes i do sleep over my problem, i actually learn that from my husband. Sleeping is a good medicine for any kind of worries. Also sleep helps to activate the mind and the physical body. Having a sound sleep could help you to overcome or minimize some serious health issue. I sleep well, when is time to retire to bed. I think it is better to keep a regular bedtime routine for a sound sleep.
Meditate on The Word Of God: you can meditate on the word of God by reading the bible and singing in hymns and psalms. Also, by reading inspirational messages, books and skills learning. Meditate on the area of your life, you feel you need change and what you need to do
to help achieve the change that you desires most. Meditation is powerful tool for the brain. Don't underestimate the power of meditation when it is in line with God.
Stay Connect With Positive People: get support from the positive people around you. Talk to people that you trust about your problems. Personally, when i have a problem that is disturbing me too often, i call friends or family that i trust and i share my thoughts and problem with them. Even though they do not have a ready solution, it ease me up. According to a report "sharing our problems with our loved ones releases endorphins and it is one of the best antidotes against
stress".
Avoid getting bored: boredom is not good for the brain. As it block the brain from flowing well. The best way to avoid boredom is to be adventourous. Do something that catches your breath. Go out, make new friends, learn new skills, travel more to see new places and to learn new culture. Don't just sit in your comfort zone get out and get some fresh air and feel the gentle breezy.
Giving: practice the act of giving. Be a blessing to other, we always have our spiritual blessings from God when give. I am so thankful each time i can give back to the society. Whenever i give out i feel happy and blessed. Nothing is too small to give, and you can give in various ways; you can give by volunteer yourself. Volunteering connects you to other people and in helping others you also gain unforgetable experiences that will be useful in life. Volunteering with Tafel makes me happy , because it is a service for humanity; you can give your time, money and service (Grünstadter Tafel e.V). Be helpful to one another, care for the poor, the needy, orphans, widows. You can also give by supporting a local cause; donating clothes or money to charity. E.g red cross or orphanage home. Off course i know a lot of people are doing this but we should not stop or be weary in doing good. I feel so great when i can show a little kindness to others.
Eating good: check your diet. Eat a well balanced diet. Like food is important for the brain. I remember when one of my driver at work; a man over 70 years of age who was born with a heart failure, he once told me, that i should be eating very well". He also emphasised on the type of food; Fish, Turkey, Chicken, Beans, Fruits, and Vegetables are good for the brain and overall wellness. Whenever, we meet at work, the first thing the old man will ask me after (guten tag) good day'! is have you eaten? And he will continue by telling me what he has
eaten . So I learned from him (Mr Holst) that food is good for the brain. I agreed with him because i don't patronize McDonald's restaurant (fast food). I don't eat too much processed food, i eat organic food; i eat a lot of vegetables, fish, turkey, chicken, and few red meat.
However, water: water is a must for a life. Avoid Alcohol and juice, control your blood sugar. Drink more of water. Drink water first thing in the morning, drink water after exercise and before bed time. I start my day with water; i drink warm water in the morning and i eat fruits first thing in the morning before my main breakfast. Find out what is best for you and keep to your routine and most importantly, pay attention to your body language.
I will advice everyone take care of their brain before stressing themselves because good health is more than living and dreaming, by extension a good health is a good life, and being thankful to God who made it possible. God place man on earth to take care of it, including himself. So don't neglect your health by being over spiritual. Go for your medical checkups, if your faith hasn't grown to the level of supernatural health.
