Do One Thing At A Time

In the computer world Windows is called a multitasking software. Multitasking is great for computers, but not so great for human beings. Trying to do too many things at once is a great stress builder. Since I have dedicated this blog series to cutting back stress in our lives, I must start with the concept of Doing One Thing At A Time.

Do one thing at a time. Do it well. Then move on to the next. This is a simple formula that truly does work.

Trying to do too many things at once leads to mistakes and none of these things really gets done well because none are really given our full attention. By doing one thing at a time, we do it right, eliminate having to redo it again because we messed up, and creates a smoothly working atmosphere.

Ultimately, it will reduce daily stress, which will in turn lead to better health.

Relieving Stress May Improve our Health

I have heard for so long that stress can create so many health problems. I recently read an article that suggests stress and cancer can even be linked. I think it is pretty obvious that stress can cause other problems such as high blood pressure, strokes, head aches and other things. Of course, I am not a doctor so I can't speak from a professional point of view on the topic of stress.

I can, however, speak from my own experience.

Stress leads to problems. Chest pains and headaches are only a couple of the health issues I have experienced that I connect to stress in my life. Recently I have even developed high blood pressure. Interesting since my blood pressure has always been low, yet recently the stress in my life seems to be escalating.

I made a conscious decision to try to lessen the stress in my life, but that is certainly more easily said then done. How does one lessen their stress? I recently talked to my doctor, spoke with friends, and am even reading a book to do research on this topic. I believe it is important, not just for me, but for all of us to strive to lower the amount of stress we encounter in our lives.

So I have decided to do a series of short articles on this blog sharing with you what I am doing to lower stress in my life. I am hoping we can all benefit from my quest to lower stress in my life.
