Feeling Stressed?
Saturday, 22 March 2014 , 0 Comment
Believe it or not, stress is one of the most overlooked
disorders that we are facing. We may be under pressure, but we certainly are
not aware of it and in the long run, it may affect us emotionally or
physically.
But before I go through, what is stress?
Stress is a state where our body or mind is under so much
pressure that the symptoms can be manifested through our body. Pressure can
come in various shapes and forms. It could be the too much workload at work or
at school or that utterly strong drive to achieve your goal but the obstacles
that you have to go through are just too overwhelming.
As I have mentioned earlier, we may be under stress but then
we have no idea about it until something happens to us physically. Some of the
symptoms of stress are:
- Blood pressure rises
- Breathing becomes more rapid
- Digestive system slows down
- Heart rate rises
- Immune system goes down
- Muscles become tense
- We do not sleep (heightened state of alertness)
Ever felt like your head is about to explode?
It is almost impossible to live a life without stress. You
are always anxious about something, somehow. Therefore it is important that you
have an effective stress management so that it can be controlled. Here are some
of the ways
- Go for a vacation after a long period of non-stop work. Your body and mind may need that...a lot.
- Don’t have time for a vacation? Well, spare some time for a short work out every day. A 30-minute session is enough as exercising helps releases hormones that can relax your body.
- Too lazy to work out? Then, find something that you like, for example, sipping a cup of coffee while imagining you’re in a vintage coffee shop in Paris enjoying your time out.
- Or do anything that will take your mind off the problem you have been focusing and trying to deal with. Anything that makes you happy will do. Trust me.
We cannot let our lives revolve around stress. It takes away
the fun from living life wonderfully. Remember, we are responsible of our own
happiness.
Don't Worry,
Be Happy
Be Happy
:)
