General Health Tips
The Greatest Danger of Human Life 3
I know you really want to know how does stress work. When you feel stressed by something going on around you, your bodies react by releasing chemicals into the blood. These chemicals give you more energy and strength, which can be a good thing if your stress is caused by physical danger. But this can also be a bad thing, if your stress is in response to something emotional and there is no outlet for this extra energy and strength. This class will discuss different causes of stress, how stress affects you, the difference between 'good' or 'positive' stress and 'bad' or 'negative' stress, and some common facts about how stress affects people today.
Here, the next several tips.
1. Try to leave earlier in the morning
Even 10-15 minutes can make the difference between frantically rushing to your desk and having time to ease into your day
2. Do something special on a whim
Buy flowers for your partner unexpectedly. Bring donuts to the office for others one morning. Someone Else's smile and "Thanks" can sometimes make a bad day better.
3. Snack healthily throughout the day
This means that mid-morning bags of chips or a candy bar are not ideal choices.
4. Remind yourself of the value of learned optimism:
a more joyful life and, quite possibly, better health. Rent funny movies and read amusing books. Create a mental list of reasons you have to feel grateful.
5. Taking the stairs once a day instead of the elevator, picking two day a week to have a salad for lunch, or eating fresh fruit instead of a junk food. What's the overall effect on your health? Maybe not much, but small steps lead to bigger ones, and doing something simple for your body is the best way to start.
6. Get up and stretch periodically
Twist side to side and bend front to back. Roll your head around to stretch your neck a bit. Trade shoulder rubs with a coworker.
Tomorrow, you will know your mental symptoms of stress.
