Distress: Controlling Your Response


Posted by Tracii H.

While stressful events in and of themselves are harmless, it’s our reactions to them that cause so many illnesses, both physical and mental. A number of harmful habits have been found to be reactions to stress. By relaxing tension and reducing stress, it may be easier to avoid the excesses of over-eating, drinking, drugs, smoking, and other dangerous habits.

Headaches, back pain, low energy, and insomnia are often triggered and magnified by the onset of tension, frustration, anxiety and other stress reactions. You can put a stop to this with easy and quick relaxation methods like deep breathing, positive affirmation, and meditation. Do it before it induces pain and discomfort for best effects.
