No matter what your job is, a lawyer, dentist, hair dresser, construction worker etc, you will always have some sort of stress at times related to your job. For me, I work in a fairly stress-free environment. However sometimes the stress still builds up no matter how hard I try to let it go right through me. The following are physical signs that you are stressed:
- Aches, chest pains
- Loss of sex drive
- Frequent colds
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Nausea or dizziness or both
Stress also effects the behavioral side of a person as well including:
- Eating more or less
- Sleeping more or less
- Isolation
- Using drugs or alcohol to relax
- Picking up nervous habits (nail biting etc)
Stress can make you behave differently, change your body, and also just make you sad. So how does one cope with stress? First one has to find out what is causing the stress. Some examples could include:
- Work related
- Family related
- Financial problems
- Relationship problems
- Not having enough "you time"
Once you isolate the reason why you are stressed you have to find out 3 things. One, how to relax. Two how to manage stress. Three learn how to quickly relieve stress. Once you have mastered all of these traits stress will become easier to overcome and cope with. You should find an outlet which allows you to get rid of your stress. An example could be joining a kickboxing class or something active. Or maybe meditation. Each person is different, but it is healthy to keep your stress under control.
A stress-free life is a happy life.
