Six of the top causes of death among Americans are directly tied to stress. Those six are heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide. When people go to visit their family doctor, researchers believe that 75 percent of the ailments they are visiting their doctor for are also stress related. My friends, all of that is the very definition of stress. My goodness, no wonder we are nation being ravaged by stress.
We ourselves often don’t realize how much stress we are carrying around inside of us, but the people around us can generally see the changes in our personality, our energy level, our spontaneity, our outlook, our ability to focus and our disposition.
If we live a fairly balanced life style, we generally have enough stress releasers each week where we can let go of some of the build up of negative emotions. If we have children, sometimes those pressure valves are found when we go out to their extra curricular events, such as soccer, drama or baseball.
In our modern society, that’s becoming less and less. Frequently one spouse is out working 60 hours a week or more, just to keep the household afloat. There isn’t that balance, and so the build up grows and grows, without relief. Back in the 1950s, it was commonplace for one spouse to be out working and the other remaining home to raise the children. Now, however, the typical American household requires both spouses to be working full-time to keep the household afloat and pay the bills. Even with that, reports on CBS News and CNN revealed that 76% of all Americans are still living paycheck to paycheck. This literally means they are one paycheck away from financial disaster, with little or no financial cushion set aside for that inevitable rainy day when calamity suddenly strikes.
Make a list of the things you experience every month that cause you stress. Make a list of the things you enjoy that help you to eliminate and relieve some of that stress in a healthy way. Any kind of aerobic or cardiovascular exercise is a huge plus in combating and eliminating day to day stress. Sadly, prolonged stress not only starts affecting us psychologically, but in time will begin to impact the body. When you are stressed, your blood vessels constrict, your bloodstream is flooded with hormones such as cortisol, and your blood pressure and heart rate rises. Over time, these physiological changes in the body can lead to disease.
The Physicians’ Desk Reference lists quite a number of diseases of the body that are directly tied to prolonged stress, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, obesity, Alzheimer’s and premature death. Other health related ailments tied to prolonged stress include insomnia, backaches, chronic headaches, depression, colds, stomach ulcers, chronic fatigue, fertility problems and menstrual cycle disorders. Learning to develop stress management skills really can have a genuine impact on your health and your quality of life.
One study of heart attack survivors found that learning stress management techniques decreased their risk of having a second heart attack by 74%. While we cannot always remove the stress triggers in our lives, we can change how we respond to stress. So what are some things that you can do to strengthen and reinforce that natural shield of armor around yourself, and bring yourself to the point where stress does not stir you up and create additional turbulence for you? Is it conceivable to inoculate yourself in such a way that you cannot be knocked off balance when major setbacks hit you?
The first step of stress management is to teach ourselves to being aware of our stress level. Just like in the carbon monoxide metaphor mentioned earlier, often we do not realize the intense level of stress we might be experiencing. One way of developing an awareness of the stress in our lives is to periodically assess and evaluate our stress level on a scale of 1 to 10.
