Stress has a negative influence on your body and eventually steals your happiness ang soul from right under your nose.
Many of the stress increasing duties include paying taxes, downsizing and mortgage payments.
Other stress factors may be that you are gaining weight or getting bags under your eyes, which means you are even more stressed.
These symptoms even cause more stress.
Scientists now KNOW that the mind and body are connected.
This means that your body and mind speak the same language and their healths are closely linked with each other.
It's possible to develop a strong immune system which would increase your overall health and enable you to age longer.
Experts also tell us that there are multiple ways of reducing stress and actually prevent it before it happens and affects us negatively.
These are some proactive steps you can use to hinder stress and increase your minds awareness so that you can live much less stressed and feel great in mind and soul.
Identify warning signs: There is no definite sign of stress, because it varies from person to person, but the most general signs of stress include having a mind that is feeling overwhelmed.
Some common symptoms are things like weird aches and complaining, small or big problems in getting along with other people, rapid and fluctuating mood changes, anger, negative sleep patterns, impatience and communication problems.
These indicate a very high level of stress so if you don't get your stress level checked fast, it could lead to feelings of despair and hopelessness.
Be aware that stress results from your response to pressure: Most people don't know this, but it's true that you could be the cause of your own stress.
Nobody else can possibly put pressure on you that you don't accept or force upon yourself.
Take note of your own threshold for stress and let things like traffic and loud music, or even meeting people in the streets who make you feel stressed, not affect you at all.
Learn coping mechanisms that help you deal with stress: Some of the things I personally like to do and I know many others do is meditate, breathe, visualize and many other forms of deeper relaxation.
Control stress through exercise: You can pick up yoga, martial arts or take a walk.
Do anything that makes you move, because when you exercise your body unleashes natural endorphins which makes your body get a natural high.
This helps relax from stress like nothing else...
(If there is one thing to be addicted to it's either making money or having good health, try it!) Say 'no' when you have to say 'no': It's OK to say no.
So don't let stressful situations that you don't really want to take part in make you stressed out! Stay away and maintain a good balance of positive energy in your body.
Keep up your regular routine: If something is working for you, keep doing it.
There's no reason to change it unless it's hurting you or people around you, so please make sure you don't go crazy when things take a rapid change in your life, it's always going to be ok.
Very limited amount of people know how to handle stress well and it's a big part of responsibility for YOURSELF.
Don't procrastinate learning about stress and take control of your life.
Live in balance and you may increase your life span.
