There is good stress – contact me for a chat if you disagree.

But there is a time when your stress level tips. Then the stress begins to hurt your body.

What is that bad stress and what can you do about it? What causes it?

Stress: So, tip number one: label your stressors. Know what tips you into the “bad zone”.

Then, when possible, lessen those bad stressors. Do something about it.

For example: when possible, ask for help. It is good for two things – sharing the stress is making it less, but also social interaction lessens stress, in general.

Tip number two is BREATHE- either the 4 x 4 method or the 4 x 7 x 8 one, which I have recently shifted to. Look them up.

Tip number three: look at your expectations and see if they are realistic or are you trying to be/achieve perfection.

Finally, take on myPPFs® activities and be grateful for the PAST, savor the PRESENT moment and look forward to the FUTURE with hope.

Long Term (or ongoing) Stress is the most difficult for us to have as it affects our bodies and minds (& spirits) more.

I have a few clients with long term stress and they are suffering.

Here are some symptoms:

·       You are always tired and rather forgetful

·       You are irritable and maybe self-medicate to stay afloat

·       You have physical symptoms such as headaches, body aches, stiff muscles (especially in the neck, shoulders and jaw), stomach and other digestive problems, and sexual dysfunction

Most people think of stress as the enemy, but it isn’t.

You can even be stressed and have along life, as long as you see stress in certain ways.

Stress can be a friend and stress in itself it is never the real problem.

It’s what we think about the stress and how we deal with the stressors that is the issue. We all have stress every day.

Stress is ubiquitous and every day we need to complete the stress cycle (you have to do something – because “wellness is not a state of being, but a state of action”) to thrive.

When you remember the past with gratefulness as I do with a client, and you savor the present moments, and you anticipate a positive future activity, you can avoid burnout and reduce stress. Learn to do the PPFs.
