Reducing Stress
By Dr Bill Maier
So, how you do you deal with the stress of everyday life?
Most people might say that men struggle more with anxiety,
but recent studies show it is actually women who feel more
day-to-day stress. They tend to be programmed to worry more,
and often feel more vulnerable to failure. If this describes you,
maybe it’s time to incorporate some stress-reducing activities
into your life.
One obvious solution is to get plenty of sleep. Learn to turn
the TV off early and cut back on the caffeine. A daily walk
can do wonders to help clear your head and exercise is great
for relieving stress. Ask your doctor how to engage in deep
muscle relaxation a few times during the day.
And most importantly, set aside a time each day for
meditation. A daily quiet time is the best way to bring
perspective to a busy schedule.
