Stress Management – Can You Benefit?

Everybody, no matter what they do or who they are, can benefit from a plan for the management of stress.  We have to face the facts, stress is part of our everyday life no matter if you are a powerful CEO or a stay at home parent.  Even elementary school kids, college students, nurses, lawyers, dentists, business owners, bartenders, and waitresses deal with different types of stress everyday.  The doctor who has to tell someone they have a terminal disease, or the fifth grader who has a history test, and the waitress who has to deal with unhappy customers is all part of their everyday life.  

There are different approaches you can incorporate into your stress management plan.  These could include physical exercise, a body massage, or even a nice hot bubble bath.  You might even consider doing some different techniques such as acupressure, acupuncture, hypnosis relaxation techniques, meditation or some other form of activity tailored to fit your individual need with a stress reduction program.  It’s important to incorporate some form of relaxation into your daily or weekly schedule.

Please keep in mind no matter who you are – yes, you can benefit from stress management and you will reap the benefits of a healthier you!

Keep lots of love in your heart and hug your family everyday and keep them close.

Blessings to you and yours.   Joyce Jacobsen

Stress Management – Anxiety and Worry?  Anxiety and worry are the two most common stress related sources.  Health issues, financial problems, family concerns, and a list of other situations, can cause unhealthy stress related problems if they are not resolved in a healthy manner.  Everyone deals with stress in different ways, some may use denial which is a common way to deal with life issues.  Denial may happen in domestic violence relationships, alcoholic families, or even with someone facing the loss of a loved one or a serious illness.  Someone in denial is saying “Nothing is wrong” and “Everything is fine”.

Running away or hiding from a life of stress are usually those who use alcohol or drugs to “escape”  or “avoid” their problems.  For example, the teenager who stays away from home, or someone who stays at work, are ones who are attempting to escape their problems.  Procrastination can be a form of anxiety and worry.  The “fear” of what will happen if you face the problem often leads to  “putting off the inevitable”.  This behavior can also contribute to stress for the mind rather than from the situation.

Even tho facing things head on can sometimes seem too difficult, it is definitely the healthiest way to handle the situation that would otherwise create anxiety, worry or fear  Getting the answers and addressing the problem instead of speculating or denying, or running away and hiding from them, is the only way you will be able to reduce the stress of these type of situations.

Take the anxiety and worry out of your life and save your health.
