 Let's Find Out! Stress Is a part of life that can either help us learn and grow, or it can present significant problems. Stress releases powerful neurochemicals and hormones that prepare us for action (to fight or flee). If action is not taken and it builds up inside that stress can lead to health problems. Different types of stress are; prolonged, uninterrupted, unexpected, and unmanageable. Stress can be managed with; regular exercise, meditation or other relaxation techniques, structured time outs, and learning new how to cope for more predictability in our lives. Using drugs, pain medicines, alcohol, smoking, and eating can make the stress worse, and can make us more susceptible for more stress.

1. Learn to plan. Disorganization can breed stress. Having too many projects going simultaneously often leads to confusion, forgetfulness, and the sense that uncompleted projects are hanging over your head. When possible, take on projects one at a time and work on them until completed. 2. Recognize and accept limits. Most of us set unreasonable and perfectionistic goals for ourselves. We can never be perfect, so we often have a sense of failure or inadequacy no matter how well we perform. Set achievable goals for yourself. 3. Learn to play. You need occasionally to escape from the pressures of life and have fun. Find pastimes which are absorbing and enjoyable to you no matter what your level of ability is. 4. Be a positive person. Avoid criticizing others. Learn to praise the things you like in others. Focus upon the good qualities those around you possess. Be sure to give yourself credit and appreciate your own good qualities, as well.

Aging bodies need at least six glasses of water every day. Because a young adult's body is 60% water, but this amount decreases with age. The result is the skin dries out, and the kidneys don't flush waste as well. Drinking more water means the skin has less chance of becoming dry. And the water dilutes the salts and minerals that pass through the kidneys helping the prevent the formation of kidneys stones. So, have a glass of water before going to bed. Take another two glasses during breaktime. Substitute water for that second and/or third cup of coffee.  It's contagious and a wonder drug. It defuses anger and frustration. It is used for chronic pain and diabetes. It is a very intense way to communicate with someone. It improves your self-worth.
It's a HUG! Your skin needs reassurance. It has been used as a therapeutic tool, because it takes us back to our earliest experiences in life. We don't touch enough in our lives. We are taught not to touch. But our skin hungers for touch. It makes us feel good. Here is where quality and quantity count. When you hug, you give permission to hug. Listen to your body, trust it, it is wise. Tell the person you need a hug. Ask for one. When we hug, we share a commonness. You can hug anywhere you are comfortable. Here is good advice: 4 hugs a day for survival, 8 hugs a day to maintain balance, 12 hugs a day to grow. Be generous with your hugs. |
