Stress like pain exists for a reason – that reason is to know when limits have been met! Being organized in it of itself will reduce stress. Being organized is a sign of control. Often times stress is a result of being out of control or not being in control of a given situation. That brings about COPING with stress. The external factors that contribute to stress need to be addressed also. Being overweight, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking all lead to an overall degradation of physical well-being that lends itself to a reduced sense of self-esteem. In other words, if you’re not happy and confident in who you are – that in it of itself could be a huge contributor to stress at the very core.
Also, go for a walk – or two….stretch and flex. Find a work partner to participate. IT WORKS!
