Sress!

Hello, sENA, and welcome to your Stress Management E-Course!

"Stress" can often be a subjective term with many connotations, but
most often it refers to the state of feeling pressured, rushed,
overwhelmed, threatened, frightened or anxious. Stress can present
itself in many different ways, but it can also be caused by many
different events and situations - which will differ from person to
person.

Something that causes me stress may not bother you in the least.
While something that I could handle just fine would throw you into
a tailspin. It all depends on each individual's ability to handle
the things that happen to them on a daily basis.

However, we often have more than one cause of stress in our lives,
don't we? Handling pressure from a single situation is easier than
feeling overwhelmed by many different situations. The more
stressful events and situations we have in our lives, the more our
stress begins to multiply and create problems.

You're probably already well aware of the detrimental ways in which
stress impacts your life, but you may not realize just how bad it
can get if you don't take control of it now. Among other things,
stress can cause or contribute to:

Insomnia
Depression
Weight gain/loss
Poor health habits
Anxiety
Relationship problems
Increased tendencies toward addictive substances (like alcohol,
cigarettes, drugs)
Increased incidence of illnesses like colds, flu, infections
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Migraine headaches
And more

Perhaps you've already experienced some of these conditions in your
own life, and you notice they seem to get worse the longer your
stress goes unmanaged.

Believe it or not, stress also has positive benefits, like
providing the motivation to finish a project on time, or creating a
sense of urgency in a dangerous situation. The purpose of this
e-course is not to banish all stress from your life forever,
because it's impossible to do so. Rather, we will focus on helping
you to reduce unnecessary stress, and better manage the main
stressors in your daily life.

Over the next 7 days we're going to cover some helpful strategies
for understanding and managing your stress, but remember that
they'll only work if you put them to use in your everyday
experiences. Stress can be caused by external influences, but it
can also become a habit - a conditioned response to certain
situations. And like all habits, it can be changed with a little
self-awareness and persistence!

Be sure to tune in again tomorrow, sENA, because I'm going
to share a surprising and helpful way to view your stress!
