Dealing with Stress

You may be contributing to your own stress

Stress feeds on itself and often leads to anxiety, uncertainty and loss of productivity that can affect personal relationships.

While "burning anxious energy" (smoking/drinking, lashing out at someone, or pacing frantically) may seem like it will relieve stress but it actually creates more stress.

Unhelpful habits like these help illustrate that it's often helpful to see a doctor or other professional so seek help..

Anger Management

Resolve anger issues and live happier

Some people have an explosive temper. There are several solutions and tips for fixing this, however.

One of the first steps is to just admit and accept that you have a problem. This shows that you have the initiative to consciously admit a fault and want to fix it.

When a situation that causes you anger occurs, simply remove yourself from it. There is no sense in feeding the anger.

Relaxing exercises, such as yoga and meditation, can help to relieve the pent-up stress that results in unhealthy anger.

Pregnancy

Advice you need to hear

Pregnancy is both emotionally and physically stressful. So here are some tips to help you deal with it.

Anything that you consume is partly consumed by your baby. This means avoiding things such as alcohol or cigarettes, but it also means eating healthily.

It is important to try to be as relaxed as possible at all times. Steer away from stress and get plenty of sleep. Exercise is encouraged, but don't overexert yourself.
