Stress has become a huge part of the way that we live in our modern lives. Traffic, deadlines, over scheduling, family commitments, school, work, commuting – it’s all a race defined by time and money. And we don’t realize just how much stress we are constantly under just going about our day to day business.
But intense amounts of stress will
start to show signs in our health and our wellbeing, and the worst part is that
we often ignore them. Too busy, don’t have the time, no money to get to the
doctor or health practitioner – we just take a pill and move forward. But when
the pills stop working, our body starts giving us other signs to make us slow
down and we suddenly have all sorts of ailments that start becoming debilitating.
We are suddenly dealing with
allergies, insomnia, high anxiety levels, mood swings, feelings of total
exhausting, despondency and a general feeling of being overwhelmed. If you are
feeling any of these symptoms of stress on a daily basis, you most definitely
need to take a step back and make some changes so that you can cope better.
Look after your health, your body and
your diet – without those three you don’t have much control over your life.
Stop smoking now – do it for good and do it forever – take back the control and
stop being a nicotine slave. Swop the libations for water, herbal teas and
fruit juices and keep the wine for the weekend.
Clean up your diet, plan your meals
ahead of time and get to bed at a reasonable hour and do some exercise. We all
say we just don’t have time to get to the gym – but we make time to have wine
with our friends.
