Feeling “Stressed
Out ” can
feel like you are under fire!
Family doctors who see patients with symptoms such as headaches, chest
pains, stomach troubles or constant tiredness will tell you that 80% of
these symptoms are related in some way to the effects of harmful stress.
Caregivers, single parents, the unemployed and those with chronic medical
problems can add their own special concerns to the common sources of modern
stress, which are:
- Work Pressures – Balancing
Work and Family
- Family/People conflicts
- Money Problems
- Concerns
about the future – yours or someone you
care about.
- Daily
hassles – big
or small, that can add to a sense of frustration
To win the battle with stress you must accurately identify your stresses,
avoid those you can and learn how to strengthen yourself enough to be
more resilient to those you must live with.
