This article has been modified and was written by Elizabeth Scott and discusses the benefits of stress management in our contemporary culture. The feeling of stress most often is in our control but often we dont appreciate how important it is to manage our stress and how it impacts our physical and mental wellbeing.
The following are the benefits that stress management has in the different areas of our lives:
Your Health: Excessive stress really can lead to poor health outcomes, from relatively minor things like headaches and digestion problems in the short run to major conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke after years of unmanaged stress.
Your Looks: Many stress management techniques can also make you healthier and even more attractive. For example, taking care of your body by getting enough sleep can make you more productive and healthier, and can help you better manage stress, as well as stav ing off dark circles under the eyes and a poor complexion. Also, eating right can keep your blood sugar levels even, keeping your emotions in check and making you more resilient to stress, as well as helping you stay in your skinny jeans or favourite tee-shirts from college. Getting regular exercise can help you blow off steam when youre frustrated and keep your body fit and toned.
Increased Productivity: Simply put, when youre not stressed, you can be more productive because youre more focused. Therefore, it really pays to keep stress to a minimum and become better in stress management. Certain stress relief habits naturally make you more productive. Power napping, for example, can help you catch up on sleep and be more focused and productive, making less sleep stretch further. Being organized can also help you save time and money in the long run, reducing stress and helping you to be more productive in virtually every area of your life. Another constructive stress management habit is to limit your caffeine intake as it can help to improve your sleep feeling less stressed at the end of the day. Finally, having the right attitude is actually a habit that can be learned. Being an optimist can benefit you in many areas of your life, helping you let failures roll off your back and actually enabling you to achieve more!
Yo ur Happiness: Some stress management practices just bring more joy. If you want to enjoy life more, youll want to adopt some of these stress relievers, and the fun will come more easily. Caring for pets, enjoying music, dancing while you clean, working more laughter into your life, maintaining a supportive circle of friends, and even having sex are all fun activities and double as great stress management actions. Remind yourself that youre never too busy to include these activities in your lifestyletheyre great stress management techniques!
Your Stress LevelsOf Course! The desire to avoid walking around feeling stressed-out is, in itself, a good reason to bone up on stress management. Certain general techniques that primarily just relieve stress (rather than serving some secondary function) are more than worth adopting because, when youre less stressed, you enjoy life more.
Putting in the effort to learn effective strategies for stress relief and low-stress living will pay off in the long run. Because of this, stress management is among the most important subjects to learn! So be kind to yourself and commit to improving the quality of your life.
