Stressed Out? Check out this website!
As I read through this article on ABC new, I found it interesting that women experience symptoms 30 percent more than men but if you think about it, it does make sense. As it talks about in this article, women juggle many different demands compared to men, and our culture women feel as if they need to respond to all these demands. Women become so stressed it can lead to health problems such as heart disease, ulcers, high blood pressure and many more. I also thought that the “gadgets galore” section made a good point about how having technology means we are on to our demands all the time. Even if we are just answering a causal call we are still on that demand. Have a cell phone or computer near us we have more of a feeling to answer or write back to an email then if they weren’t near at all. We do need downtime with no technology at our fingertips, just some time to relax but how many of us have time for that anymore? It does gives you a few ideas on how to deal with stress such as writing down all the things that stress you out, big and small or maybe try laughing it out. It has a few thoughts you can read to help listed at the bottom. It also talks about changing your attitude and to take time to do those little things to help reduce stress. You can exercise, sing, adopt a dog, get a massage any little thing that can change your mind set and help relieve the stress. Hope this can help some of us during some of these stressful weeks of school!
