He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.-Psalm 23

BILLS ERRANDS SCHOOL CAREER FAMILY TIME DEATH
time I
found a few
ways to cope
with the stress in my life. I hope they will be as beneficial to
you guys
as they are for me.
You wake up in the morning and you
have
like ten thousands things to do. You have to make breakfast, get the
kids to
school, arrive on time at work, deal with the broken headlight, give
your
business project before deadline and pick up the younger kids from the
after
school program. Then, you need to make dinner for the family, respond
to all
emails and when you think the day is done and over with, your
eldest
daughter
announces to you that she as a tattoo where the sun don’t shine and
that she is
getting married to some Enrique Boy. by: StressTip8/photobucket.com
What is Happening to Your Body?
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) are the two main systems involved during your stressful moments. The hypothalamus (located in the central part of your brain) releases corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF). The
CRF travels to the
pituitary gland, where it triggers the release of adrenocorticotrophic hormone
(ACTH). The ACTH is released in your bloodstream and causes the adrenal
cortex
of the adrenal gland (located above the kidneys) to release cortisol,
one of
the stress hormones. This hormone increases your body fuel supply to
respond to
the stress and adapt to the situation. Salvatore_Vuono/FreeDigitalPhotos.net.jpg
A
little bit of stress won’t do you harm. In fact we need a little bit of
stress
in our lives but, with moderation. However,
if you have long term stress and your
level of cortisol remains elevated for too long your immune system
weakens,
your blood
pressure increases, and you start experiencing symptoms
and health problems
such as: | Anxiety | Rapid aging | Migraines | Poor judgment |
| Colds and infections | Fatigue | Loss or gain of appetite | Only seing the
negative |
| Chest pain | Disorientation | Odd behaviours | Inability to concentrate |
| Heart disease | Digestive problems | Obesity | Constant worrying |
| Memory problems | Autoimmune diseases | Skin conditions (acne, eczema etc.) | Moodiness |
| Ache
and pain |
Irritability |
Agitation |
Feeling
overwhelmed |
| Depression |
Constipation |
Nausea |
Dizziness |
| Chest
pain |
Frequent
colds |
loss
of sex drive |
palpitations |
Basically, your body is going loco (crazy). We all cope with our stress different ways. Here are a few strategies NOT to use to reduce your stress they will help temporally but, damage you permanently:
| Smoking | Excessive drinking | Sleeping too much or too little | Eating more or less |
| Biting your nails | Constant pacing | Pulling your hair | Isolating yourself from others |
| Using medication to relax | Taking out your stress on others | Procrastinating or neglecting responsibilities | Focusing on everything else except the main issue |
Take control of your life, take charge over your thoughts, emotions, your environment, your schedule and the way you deal with your problems and leave the rest in God’s hands.
Identify the stress in your life and try to find ways to deal with it. This step is not as easy as it sounds and sometimes the stressor is not obvious but where there’s a will there’s a way. Once you found the stressor deal with it the healthy way. Here are a few suggestions you can try yourself:
| Take 5 deep breathes | Exercise | Eat a healthy diet |
| Reduce caffeine, sugar, alcohol, drug, and cigarette | Drink a warm glass of milk before getting a good
night sleep |
Focus on the positive |
| Be willing to compromise | Know your limits and learn how to say no | Manage your time |
| Don’t try to control the uncontrollable | If you can, avoid people who stress you out | Watch your favourite comedy |
| Call a good friend and share your feelings with them | Learn to forgive | Take a warm bath |
| Get a massage | Listen to classical music (I usually fall asleep and feel smarter the next day for a short moment) | Don’t rely on memory and plan in advance, what you want to accomplish the next day. |
| Read a good book | Meditate, Pray |
Do at least one good thing you enjoy everyday |
| Go out
and
appreciate God’s creation (close your eyes and feel the cool breeze on
your
cheeks, watch the tree dance, the birds sing, count the stars or feel
the rays
of the sun on your face.) even if it’s just for two minutes do it, it
will make
a big difference. The most important of all take care of you first before caring for others. |
