Stress is the leading cause of various illnesses, and today stress if
becoming one of the largest killers in the world. The first thing you
need to be aware of before you can work to live longer, healthier, and
happier, is the signs of stress. Knowing the signs can help you to reduce stress, and win the nasty battle. Stress includes early warnings
(Prevention time), mental symptoms, emotional symptoms,
physiologic or physical symptoms, and behavioral symptoms.
The Signs of stress:
Prevention Time:
When you start to feel irritable often, and your patience is thin you are
walking on the fine lines of stress. Often the irritability moves to edgy
feelings, uptight or tension, and aggressive behaviors. The person
may snap each time someone speaks to them, thus acting out
angrily. The aggressiveness turns to oversensitivity, which leads to
easiness in taking offense against what others say and do, as well
the person will blame others for his or her problems, and often
express moodiness.
The mind thinks pessimistically, which turns to a feeling of tiredness
and restlessness. At this point stress increases, which leads to
inability to sleep, overeating, or under eating. The feelings increase to
changes in diet, which often leads to unhealthy eating. The person
may start to depend on alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes to cope. The
feeling brings in nausea, upset stomach, constipation, and/or
diarrhea. The symptoms increase to nervousness, twitching, and form
into habits such as biting the nails, pulling hair, itching, or jiggling the
knees.
If you notice one or more of these signs,so you have this stress it is time to take action about stress now.
You can start with exercise, diet, and socialization to avoid further
complications of stress.
Mental Signs of stress:
If the signs go unnoticed, or left without attention, mental signs
develop, which include inability to concentrate. In turn the person
forgets often. The person may feel confused often, and find it hard to
make easy decisions. The perspective follows pursuit, i.e. the person
is unable to think clearly, which leads to obsession. The person will
feel a nagging sensation, thus stressing over time. The signs lead to
mental burnouts or exhaustion.
If you are at this level, again exercise, diet, and supplements can help
you reduce stress. You may also want to seek professional help to reduce stress.
Emotional Signs of stress:
Once the signs appear, and the mental indicators develop the
emotional response begins to decline. Rather, the emotions will act
out by showing increasing levels of panic attacks and anxiety. The
emotions will strike by diminishing the self-esteem, and will move to
depression and pessimistic thinking. You feel hopeless.
The emotions then move to feelings of anger, while harboring
resentment. This makes the person who suffer from stress moody, which forces tears to flow
for no apparent reason. The person will find it hard to laugh, and will
undergo frequent nightmares.
At this point you need immediate help to reduce stress. While I am not against mental
health services, I can say these people lack wisdom and experience
in many lands, thus walk with precaution when seeking mental help.
Get out of the house more, exercise, and diet, which will help you,
fight the emotional stimulus.
Physical signs of stress:
Once the emotional responses develop showing signs of stress, the
body will experience agony. This is where health problems start to
show. The muscular fatigue and tension makes it difficult to think,
which adds additional stress. The body will start to feel aches in the
back, shoulders, and neck. (Chiropractic Services has proven to
reduce stress stemming from physical signs of stress) Once the body
aches, the eyes start to feel tired. The muscles begin to twitch,
especially near the corner of the eyes. Your mouth feels dry, and
often your jaw will feel locked. The palms begin to sweat, and the
fingers feel cool. You start to experience heartburn and indigestion,
as well as feeling the need to urinate more often. The signs continue
to bladder infections, and move on to you feel breathless. Once you
feel breathlessness, your breathing starts too erratic or
hyperventilates. The heart begins to palpitate, and finally you feel
headaches and frequent colds taking over your soul. The problems
increase, since you start to gain or loose weight, and finally the libido
feels lost and its impotency has blundered.
We now have serious risks of stress. Still, there is more to come.
Behavioral signs of stress:
Now that your mind and body has lost control, you begin to lash out in
anger while showing aggression. (Criminal-based potential) You
begin talking without cease, since the thoughts are racing like cars
around the India 500. With talking excessively, you begin to cut
others off who are speaking. You show nervous habits, which include
tapping the fingers, pulling the hair, biting the nails, or jiggling the
knees. The only outing you see at this time is to consume yourself in
work; you become a workaholic, and often feel absenteeism from the
rest of the world. This brings us to isolation. You start to withdraw
socially, and move toward neglecting personal hygiene. You now
have a serious problem, since you develop obsessive-compulsive
behaviors, which include excessive hand washing, monitoring the
doors and windows often and so forth.
If your problems have escalated to this level, you need mental health
now. It’s time to take the steps to reduce stress.
Steps to Reduce Stress
One of the ways to reduce stress is to understand the principals of
eating a balanced diet to reduce stress. Reducing stress is essential in living healthier,
longer, and happier. If you fail to reduce stress heart disease may
walk in your door and kick your butt. In addition, if you fail to reduce
stress you can put the body at risk of cancer, diabetes, high-blood,
high-cholesterol, and so forth. Fighting now is the only way you can reduce stress
and survive and live a longer, healthier, and happier life. The steps to
reducing stress to live longer, healthier, and happier include:
Diet:
It is essential to eat three balanced meals daily to fight stress, or spread the meals
out to five small portions daily. While eating you should avoid
digesting the food quickly, rather take your time and allow the food to
process in the digestive system. You want to include five helpings of
fruits and vegetables in your daily plan. Drinking one a glass of water
one half before and after meals can help you maintain weight.
Preparing to live longer, healthier and happier, includes a balanced
diet. Still, you need stretch exercise and exercise routines to live
longer.
Posture:
Keeping the posture straight can help you avoid bone related
disease. When the posture is straight you will promote free breathing,
which relieves stress. A straight posture will also promote energy and
vitality, which is essential for living longer. Straight postures will also
promote relaxation, since your head is supported. In addition, a
straight posture will increase confidence, as well as make you look
youthful, in shape, and slimmer.
Activities:
Regular exercise will make you relax and sleep with fewer problems.
Exercise will enhance your energy, while raising your self-esteem and
confidence. You will look and feel great. A general schedule should
include 20 to 30 minutes daily of activities.
Exercise will also work at a couple of minutes at a time. If you have
problems getting started, start exercise slowly and gradually work into
a full routine.
Sleep:
Each night go to bed at the same hour. Sleep will reduce stress. You
will need to change your bedroom if you find it difficult to sleep at
night. A change can make you feel more at ease. You should also
keep the room dark and quiet during sleep hours. Avoid naps, unless
you suffer illnesses. Make sure that your mattress and pillow fits your
posture and makes you feel at ease. Do not use caffeine, smoke, or
drink before going to bed. You can workout one hour before bedtime
to achieve tiredness. If you often awake during night hours, get out of
bed when you find it difficult to sleep and read a book.
Training the mind:
Train your mind to relax and think positive. Train your mind to think
only during wake hours. Try to focus on one task at a time, which will
promote memory and relaxation. Do not worry, rather do something
about it.
Breathing and Relaxing:
Become aware of your breathing and move to breathe properly. This
will help you relax.
Meditate daily:
Mediation is enlightenment of the spiritual mind. When you meditate
properly you practice straight posture, breathing, focus, and attitude.
Stretch exercise:
Stretching can help you to flex the joints, which promotes strong
muscles. Stretching will open the airways, and help you to feel
relaxed. To help you get started we can post a few positions.
Position 1: Sun Salutation Stretch:
Stand straight up with your feet coming together. Bring the palms to
the front of your chest and breathe.
Breathing in; now, stretch the arms over the head and bend slightly
backwards, while the palms face forward. Breathe outward, and bend
the body forward, while placing the palms of your hands flat on the
floor at the sides of your feet. Lower your face to the knees as closely
as possible, and stretch up into position.
