‘There are many times in our lives when stress creeps in and causes great angst.  Life is busy and work, kids, school and responsibilities can seem overwhelming at times.  Do you feel stress getting you down?  Here are some tips to help deal with stress and its after-effects. 

Stress has become a major cause of anxiety. If not dealt with, it can have an incapacitating effect on your life.  Often, people with hard-driving, A-type personalities can be prime candidates for stress-induced symptoms.  The perfectionism they tend to seek in what they do never quite measures up to their expectations. This is not a perfect world; it helps when we realize that, as human beings, we aren’t perfect either.
 
People tend to deal with stress in different ways; perhaps they ignore the initial problem which caused it; retreat within themselves, or fall apart. However, when you recognize the signs, you can often nip it in the bud before it completely takes over.

In the News: The Science of STRESS

Filed Under Physical Healing

March 28, 2008 — Dermatologists report that stress can cause many skin-related problems.  These include hair falling out, acne break outs, etc.  Once these stress effects manifest, their appearance can cause even more anxiety.

How does stress affect the skin?  Dermatologists have found that, when you’re stressed out, your body releases a hormone called cortisol.  Increased cortisol levels, in turn, increases oil production, which can cause acne eruptions … even if you have never had acne before!

What can you do to counter these effects?

To counter these effects, it is important that you reduce the amount of stress in your life.  Some practical ways to do so include:
1)  Get a good night’s sleep;
2)  Pay attention to breathing deeply and slowly;
3)  Get regular exercise
