Everyday Day Stress Made Simple

Introduction:-

Hello there, this will be my first post and I really want it to be simple. We are going to discuss about everyday stress today. We will be talking about the common stress we have , their effects in our health and life and also about how to get out of it. 

What's Stress or difficult times?

It's simple, everyone knows what's that but none of know the level of stress we have(you might understand at the end of the post). A difficult time or a stress is a duration of our life during which we get worried or sad or heart broken or whatever it might be,during which we can't do our normal activities or work properly or upto full extent also affecting our health.

Common Stress in our lives:-

Stress can be literally due to anything! But I can assure you one thing stress is something you create by yourself. For example, A manager has to attend a meeting by travelling two hours from home, he can get stressed due to waste of time while traveling but he can reduce that stress by enjoying that two hour drive by listening to some good music or if possible to go with a colleague and he can also relieve his stress by visiting some temple,  beach, restaurant etc. A few common stress are work stress, family stress, Studying stress, inferiority complex, loved ones passing away, diseases etc. We develop stress when we are not able to do something which we want  to do! Or which are forced upon us.

Effects of stress:-

As a common man I can say like, stress just spoils your life or you might get unhappy and fed up with life thereby deteriorating your health too. But more like a medical personnel, I can tell it affects your whole body from head to foot! It can cause psychiatric problems like excessive depression, bipolar disorder etc and also increases suicidal ideation. It can cause problems in the cardiovascular system like hypertension which can lead to several complications. It can cause diabetes which also has complications. Hypertension and diabetes together can aggravate the complications and can cause heart attacks , strokes etc. Stress can also make you eat too much junk food or reduce your nutritional intake. Junk food adds to hypertension and diabetes and aggravate atherosclerosis. Too low nutrition can lead to general weakness, affect appearance and also reduce self confidence which again causes depression. Poor nutrition also affects the immune system in our body and cause repeated infections and can lead to severe diseases. So getting rid of stress is really important. Let's see how we can do that next.

Solution:-

Any level of stress can be relieved by just changing one thing called "ATTITUDE". The way we see our problem is very important. We must accept the fact that everyone in this world has difficulties and stress in one way or another. A beggar can be stressed due to hunger but a rich man can be stressed due to complexity in maintaining the health. Some might have emotional stress and some have physical stress . Whatever stress it is, everyone has it! We must learn to change our attitude. Think daily about the good things that has happened to you! Everyone in this world will have 1000 things to be happy about but only like 5-10 problems in life. Naturally we tend to focus on our problems only rather than our blessings. Blessing of being better than millions of people who are in poverty or physically challenged for which we must be happy. Even physically challenged people develop a better attitude and achieve things in life! Why can't others? I respect the physically challenged people the most for their attitude and confidence in facing the life. Without any positive attitude we can never achieve peace. Hope it was good revision of facts that you people already know.
