Stress Brings On Weight..Get Stress Free With A Pill.
Kids screaming,boss on you back and traffic jam! Just what I need.
As a therapist I’ve seen all kinds of stress and what the effects are on both men and women. Here are some quick at home things to help in you stressed life.
The most effective solution is to find and address the source of your stress or anxiety. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. A first step is to take an inventory of what you think might be making you “stress out”:
What do you worry about most? Is something constantly on your mind? Does anything in particular make you sad or depressed? Keep a diary of the experiences and thoughts that seem to be related to your anxiety. Are your thoughts adding to your anxiety in these situations? Then, find someone you trust (friend, family member, neighbor, clergy) who will listen to you. Often, just talking to a friend or loved one is all that is needed to relieve anxiety. Most communities also have support groups and hotlines that can help. Social workers, psychologists, and other mental health professionals may be needed for therapy and medication.
Also, find healthy ways to cope with stress. For example:
Eat a well-balanced, healthy diet. Don’t overeat. Get enough sleep. Exercise regularly. Limit caffeine and alcohol. Don’t use nicotine, cocaine, or other recreational drugs. Learn and practice relaxation techniques like guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, yoga, tai chi, or meditation. Try biofeedback, using a certified professional to get you started. Take breaks from work. Make sure to balance fun activities with your responsibilities. Spend time with people you enjoy. Find stress-help books at your local health or stress reliever pills with stress managment.
