Unwelcome changes can bring on stress in a person’s life depending on how well they are able to handle the situation at hand.
It could be something from hating your job, to getting divorced, someone stealing your identity, having to deal with family member or friend you might not get along with so well, or any number of things.
All these can bring added stress into your life. You need to be able to manage these unwelcome situations.
“Stress can take serious physical tolls. People under great stress release hormones and nerve chemicals that weaken the immune system, rendering them more susceptible to illness.
Stress can also slow the body’s ability to heal wounds,” says Dr. Esther Sternberg, who studies the effects of stress at the National Institute of Mental Health.
Reducing the stress associated with these unwelcome situations is about controlling the things you can control.
~ Be strong and have faith and hope knowing that whatever the situation is, it will pass in time.
~ Take time to laugh and enjoy something special.
~ Take care of your body (physical and mental) because it will make it easier to maintain your positive attitude and thought.
~ Eat right and get plenty of sleep and exercise.
~ Spend quality time with family and friends doing enjoyable activities.
