How To Reduce Stress In Your Life

Stress is an unfortunate condition that affects more and more people
everyday in our hectic, fast paced society. Stress is something that
every person has to manage on a daily basis. However, being "stressed
out" is an unhealthy condition.

Whether the source of your stress stems from your home, workplace,
finances, or other external/internal pressures, the effects of stress
can become physically, emotionally, and psychologically hazardous to
your health.

Stress is difficult to define because it is a very subjective problem.
What may be stressful for one person may have virtually no adverse
affects on someone else. Response to stress is also individualized.
Not everyone reacts to stress the same way. Because of this,
scientists and medical professionals have created a list of symptoms
that are usually related to stress. In doing this, they can identify
certain markers or symptoms and attempt to properly diagnose the cause
of the symptom (stress).

One very common symptom associated with and induced by stress is
insomnia. Insomnia is a very common sleep disorder that keeps you
awake for extended periods night after night. Stress affects the
levels of certain hormones in the body. High levels of these hormones
can make sleep more difficult. The sleep problems that stress creates
may ultimately lead to sleep deprivation. Insufficient sleep can
potentially worsen your dilemma by further exacerbating whatever
situation is causing your stress in the first place.

As far as learning how to manage your stress personally, the best
answer is to find ways to relieve some of the stress in your life.
Below is a simple suggestions that may potentially work to reduce the
stress in your life.

Unplug- Turn off the cell phone, power down your computer. Today, many
people feel that they are 'on call' all the time. Sever the ties and
enjoy some quiet time. Grab that book you've been meaning to read and
head to the park, or just stay at home and relax in a comfy spot.
Enjoy a little peace and quiet.
