STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress is your body’s response to change. Your body reacts to it by releasing adrenaline (a hormone) that can cause your breathing and heart rate to speed up,and your blood pressure to rise. These reactions help you deal with the situation.The link between stress and heart disease is not clear. But, over time, unhealthy responses to stress may lead to health problems. For instance, people under stress may overeat, drink too much alcohol or smoke. These unhealthy behaviors can increase your risk of heart disease. Not all stress is bad. Speaking to a group or watching a close football game can be stressful, but they can be fun, too. The key is to manage your stress properly. 

Taking steps to manage stress will help you feel more in control of your life. Here are some good ways to cope.

1. Try positive self-talk — turning negative thoughts into positive ones. For example, rather than thinking “I can’t do this,” say “I’ll do the best I can.”
2. Take 15 to 20 minutes a day to sit quietly, relax, breathe deeply and think of something peaceful.
3. Engage in physical activity regularly. Do what you enjoy — walk, swim, ride a bike or do yoga. Letting go of the tension in your body will help you feel a lot better.
4. Try to do at least one thing every day that you enjoy, even if you only do it for 15 minutes.
