Editor's Notes
- Stress is the body's reaction to feeling threatened or under pressure. It's very common, can be motivating to help us achieve things in our daily life, and can help us meet the demands of home, work and family life. Stress is something everyone feels at times, and there are all kinds of stressful situations that can be a part of daily life. Low-level stress can even be helpful or motivational.
- The level of stress you are comfortable with may be higher or lower than that of other people around you. Stressful feelings typically happen when we feel we do not have the resources to manage the challenges we face.
- The most common type of stress, acute stress, can be helpful in short doses. It is the body’s response to a recent or anticipated challenge or unexpected event. This type of stress has symptoms like
- Episodic acute stress is when a person experiences acute stress frequently. If you have episodic acute stress, you may feel like you are always under pressure or that things are always going wrong. This can be exhausting, both physically and mentally and other effects such as Irritability, Relationship Problems and Unintended Hostility 2- Experiencing episodic acute stress may indicate the need to make some lifestyle changes. You may need to reduce the demands you make of yourself, or that others make of you.
- Chronic stress is an ongoing stress resulting from long-term emotional pressure. For example, a stressful job, unhappy family situation, or money problems. If you have chronic stress, your body experiences the fight or flight response too frequently to recover between episodes. This means your nervous system is constantly aroused, which is not good for your health. 2- Depending on your personal situation, you may not be able to change what’s causing your chronic stress. But it is possible to find ways to manage the effects chronic stress has on your health.
- Exercise is one of the most important things you can do to combat stress. It might seem contradictory, but putting physical stress on your body through exercise can relieve mental stress. The benefits are strongest when you exercise regularly. People who exercise regularly are less likely to experience anxiety than those who don’t exercise. There are a few reasons behind this Exercise lowers your body’s stress hormones — such as cortisol — in the long run. It also helps release endorphins, which are chemicals that improve your mood and act as natural painkillers. Exercise can also improve your sleep quality, which can be negatively affected by stress and anxiety. When you exercise regularly, you may feel more competent and confident in your body, which in turn promotes mental wellbeing. Activities such as walking or jogging — that involve repetitive movements of large muscle groups can be particularly stress relieving.
- Several supplements promote stress and anxiety reduction. Here is a brief overview of some of the most common ones: Lemon balm is a member of the mint family that has been studied for its anti-anxiety effects One study showed that medical students who received omega-3 supplements experienced a 20% reduction in anxiety symptoms. Green tea contains many polyphenol antioxidants which provide health benefits. It may lower stress and anxiety by increasing serotonin levels.
- Having a pet may help reduce stress and improve your mood. Interacting with pets may help release oxytocin, a brain chemical that promotes a positive mood. Having a pet may also help relieve stress by giving you purpose, keeping you active and providing companionship — all qualities that help reduce anxiety
- It’s hard to feel anxious when you’re laughing. It’s good for your health, and there are a few ways it may help relieve stress In the long term, laughter can also help improve your immune system and mood. A study among people with cancer found that people in the laughter intervention group experienced more stress relief than those who were simply distracted Try watching a funny TV show or hanging out with friends who make you laugh.
- Let’s be honest, we all talk to ourselves! Sometimes we talk out loud but usually we do it in our heads. Self-talk can be positive ("I can do this" or "everything will be OK") or negative ("I'll never get better" or "I'm so stupid"). Negative self-talk increases stress. Positive self-talk can help you calm down and control stress. With practice, you can learn to shift negative thoughts to positive ones. For example:
