Stress: An effective way to manage it.

stress-and-acid-refluxWe all experience some sort of stress on a daily basis.  There could be many different factors that may result in our stress levels rising.  From deadlines, role conflict and ambiguity to financial responsibilities, traffic congestion, family problems and work overload we all experience some sort of stress every day of our lives.  What is stress? According to the American Institute of Stress, the term “stress”, as it is currently used was coined by Hans Selye in 1936, who defined it as “the non-specific response of the body to any demand for change”.  Therefore, I believe that it is important to understand how to become familiar with how stress affects your own self, and learn how to deal with it as well as develop healthy habits to ease the stress.

When stress becomes constant (chronic) then that is when there is a problem.  You see our body stays in high gear, off and on, for days or maybe even weeks at a time.  This type of stress can cause an increase in your heart rate and blood pressure.  Please understand that not all stress is bad.  There can be many things that we encounter in our lives that could be deemed as a stressful moment such as: watching a close football game or giving a speech to a group.  The main point is that we must learn how to manage stress properly because unhealthy reaction to stress can lead to many health problems.

There are many ways that we can help manage, even reduce stress.  Every day try to incorporate some sort of positive talk to yourself.  This sounds very silly, but it actually can help in both motivating yourself and turning those negative thoughts into positive ones.  Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you’re good-looking, that you can get through the day – in other words instead of thinking stuff like “I’m ugly” or “I just can’t do this,’ try saying stuff like “I’m gorgeous” or “I can do this.”

Another way to help manage or reduce stress is by taking a break for yourself.  Try setting aside 15 to 20 minutes every day for yourself.  Just sit or lie down, relax, do some deep breathing and think of serene, positive thoughts.  Try to engage in some sort of physical activity.  Do something that you will enjoy.  Walking, swimming, riding a bike or exercise or some sort.  I prefer to swim or practice martial arts.  Anything that will assist in letting go of your tension will help you feel better.
