Stress - Learn To Handle It For Your Health
No one is immune to the ravages of stress. As stress and conflict pile up, it cuts us off from what we really want in our lives. A stress-buster is having the plan of action and the courage to deal with whatever is causing the stress.
Greensboro, NC (PRWEB) January 20, 2004
Too much to do and too much information! From dusk until dawn we are faced with a daunting amount of work. Have you ever wondered how you were going to do it all? The stress of just thinking about what needs to be done can be overwhelming, let alone dealing with conflicting schedules and goals. As stress and conflict pile up, it cuts us off from what we really want in our lives.
No one is immune to the ravages of stress, according to the American Medical Women’s Association, “stress overload activates areas of your brain …which switches into its emergency flight or fight syndrome,” and makes it difficult to communicate with someone when you are either trying to defend yourself or flee. Current research indicates that if we want to learn a new behavior (and who doesn’t need help with conflict resolution), we learn best from experience and under pressure.
A stress-buster is having the plan of action and the courage to deal with whatever is causing the stress.
Award winning-author and leadership consultant, Debra J. GawrychÂ’s book, The 7 Aspects of Sisterhood: Empowering Women Through Self-Discovery offers readers tools to develop a plan to deal with the
Stress that has increased for everyone with the busy lifestyles of today.
Gawrych offers concrete advice on how to develop a plan that you can actually use:
-Take charge of your life
-Improve your communications with friends, family and co-workers
-Free up time to do what you want to do, not what you have to do
-Live your life centered even in the face of stress
- Learn how to confront someone with respect
So the next time your teenager rolls his or her eyes and says that at your age you couldnÂ’t possibly understand, or when your spouse is lounging on the couch during a golf marathon, or a co-worker conveniently leaves a weeks worth of work for you to do. DonÂ’t panic, have a plan!
