Appreciate the small stuff and you’ll be less likely to get stressed out? It makes sense when you think about it.

Appreciate Your Way To Lower Stress Levels
High-strung people can get upset about every little thing. Their tendency to misread the “small stuff” causes them to blow up at every turn. Contrast this with people who appreciate the small things.
They aren’t going to let little situations bother them. In fact, it’s those little things that they learn to enjoy and embrace.
For instance, suppose there’s a problem at work with the shipment of an order. The high-strung individual is going to blow things out of proportion.
Their answer is to yell at everyone to get it fixed.
The appreciative person stays calm and figures out how to solve the problem. This makes it easier to work with people to right the situation.
And, they won’t see it all as a big deal. All the while being happy to have the job they have.
High-strung people or those who appreciate most everything? Easy choice, no?
I’m guessing you chose the appreciative person.
This person will also be able to handle major issues since he or she is at ease handling the minor ones. It’s true that appreciative people have lower stress levels than those who don’t.
But it doesn’t end there
Appreciative people still need good nutrition and at least a bit of exercise. No doubt these folks are already doing that because they love life and want to prolong it.
Appreciative people tend to be more adaptive, too.
If you’re a bit on the hot-headed side think about this. Be grateful for what you have and who you have.
When you take the time to be grateful, you’ll start to feel more relaxed. You’ll stop jumping to conclusions, and you’ll look for ways to solve problems in a relaxed manner.
You can also use exercise and relaxation techniques such as meditation and massage. Keep trying different ways to relax but above all, be appreciative of your entire life.
Your positive energy will attract others, and they’ll be more willing to follow your lead.
