Intro to Stress Management

Gas prices, food prices, long hours on the job. Jamie needs a costume for the school play – tomorrow – and, good grief, you can't even get a tube of hair gel through security at the airport! Stress happens.

How well are you managing it? If it's sapping your energy, lessening the joy you get out of life or making you feel overwhelmed on a daily basis, not very well. But things are looking up! In the ChangeU Library's Stress section, you'll learn about the role stress plays in your life, how to recognize your physical and mental symptoms and how to relieve those symptoms using a variety of simple techniques.

Getting a handle on stress now can help prevent chronic diseases and better manage problems such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Soon, you'll be able to break through old ways of thinking and behaving to form new, positive habits that will reduce your stress and alleviate its symptoms. Always remember, when it comes to your health, you are the most important decision maker.

And you just may find yourself sleeping better, getting along better with your family and coworkers and reaping the rewards of a healthier life.
