| In today’s fast paced society few of us are free from the
effects of stress on our bodies and lives. The key to winning the war on stress
is understanding how to manage it. Here are three steps that will help.
First, know that stress will come. You know your “hot
buttons” and who pushes them. So why stress out over something you know is
going to happen? Sounds easy enough.
Next, take 10 minutes at night to organize the things that
must get done the next day. Don’t make your list too long or vague. Be
reasonable in what you can achieve in one day.
Finally, proceed through your day with quiet confidence and
humility. Proactively setting goals and completing them is very helpful in
decreasing stress. Staying focused is a necessity.
Studies show that the inability to handle stress is a major
cause of headaches, neck pain, and lower back pain. |
