The last 50 years of the 20th century have been a time of unprecedented growth and transformation. In the 21st century - which began in January 1, 2001 and will be ended in December 31, 2100 - we will experience even more unprecedented changes. These changes also created an epidemic that we have come to call STRESS.
Most of us know when we are stressed. Our bodies begin to exhibit symptoms that are stress-related. How do you know when something is wrong? Here are some examples of what happens when we are overstressed.
* Irritability
* Tension headaches
* Heart palpitations
* Inability to focus on the task at hand
* Rise in blood pressure, which may cause sudden outbursts of anger
* Inability to sleep
* Sudden pension for food
* Lethargy
* Neck and shoulder pain
* Fright and flight syndrome
* Anxiety attacks
* Restlessness
These are just some of the symptoms related to stress. Your body is screaming at you to slow down. While there are some who thrive on stress to complete a major project at work after all is said and done they are left totally exhausted. The price paid is too high.
The body is a wonderful machine that instantly alerts you if there is a problem. Ignoring it or attributing it to something else can be a mistake. If you ever find yourself in a stressful situation, walk away. Clear your mind. Take a walk around the block, play some music at home or go sing karaoke. If you feel stressed out, don't drive. Driving under stress has been the cause of many accidents due to road rage.
Your body is telling you that if you don't slow down you will exact the same toll as if you were in a car accident. Your body will pay the price either through elevated blood pressure leading to a stroke or cardiovascular problems causing heart attacks.
We live in a stressful environment. However, it doesn't mean we have to absorb the everyday stresses that are on the outer periphery of our minds. Stress is the number one cause of serious illness and death, and until we learn to manage and conquer stress properly, our bodies may just give up trying and suffer the serious consequences.
