We all live through stress, some more than others.  There are many things that cause stress in our lives:

  • Losing your job
  • Death
  • Divorce
  • Marriage
  • Pregnancy
  • Buying a house
  • Christmas

This list is by no means exhaustive – something that may be stressful for you, may not be stressful for someone else.  For example, I'm a workaholic and when I'm at work even though I'm stressed out, I can deal with it.  Put me on vacation and I'm stressed to the point that I can't handle it.  I need something to do.

The list is endless of what causes stress in our lives.  But learning to deal with stress, and finding good stress relaxation techniques will help you cope with the day-to-day events that lead to stress.

Some people are also more vulnerable to stress than others.  For example your personality type plays a role in reaction to stress.  People who drive themselves hard and are impatient (sometimes called Type A personalities) may be more at risk for stress-related physical problems.  Certain occupations, such as law enforcement or air traffic control, are clearly more stressful than others. In addition, people with a personal or family history of mental illness may be affected more by stress.

How can you tell you are stressed out?

There are some simple signs that can point to stress:

  1. Changes in body functions and physical health
    1. Back aches
    2. Muscle tension
    3. Breathing problems
    4. Fatigue
    5. Dizziness
  2. Changes in emotions and feelings
    1. Irritable
    2. Sad
    3. Worried
    4. Angry
  3. Changes in behavior
    1. Drinking alcohol
    2. Using drugs
  4. Changes in thoughts
    1. Lack of concentration
    2. Feeling helpless or hopeless

These are all signs of stress.

Now that we've scared you – how can we care and find stress relaxation techniques ?

Simply employ the TARP method to help reduce stress!  Would you like to learn more about TARP and stress relaxation techniques to relieve your stress.
