Scott Schwab:
The benefits to living a stress free life spread across all of the areas of health. Specifically stress is something that can destroy your health. Here is a brief breakdown of some of the results of a stressful life. Stress, or a strong response to stress, is harmful. It can set you up for general poor health, as well as physical and psychological illnesses like infection, heart disease, and depression. Ongoing stress can lead to anxiety and unhealthy behaviors like overeating and abuse of alcohol or drugs.
Stress alone can be a motivator and in small doses help one accomplish more. However, it can also lead to anxiety which starts a downward spiral emotionally, physically, and mentally. When we allow stress to define our lives, we surrender our ability to control our lives and our decisions. Emotional states like grief or depression, and health conditions like an overactive thyroid, low blood sugar, or heart attack can also cause stress-like symptoms. Here are some of the reasons for getting your stress under control.
Anxiety is often accompanied by physical symptoms, including:
Abdominal pain (this may be the only symptom of anxiety, especially in a child)
Diarrhea or frequent need to urinate
Dizziness
Dry mouth or difficulty swallowing
Headaches
Muscle tension
Rapid breathing
Rapid or irregular heart rate
Sweating
Twitching or trembling
Sometimes other symptoms occur with anxiety:
Decreased concentration
Fatigue
Irritability, including loss of your temper
Sexual problems
Sleeping difficulties, including nightmares
In conclusion, there are plenty of reasons listed here for why you should take a moment, kick back, take a breather, or even get a kit kat bar. Find ways to act rather than react. "don't worry, be happy."
