Stress

So many factors are involved in our daily lives which have the potential to create stress. It may be impossible to live life without some sort of stress since it is subconscious reactionary process. Part of our lives and like anything else which has a positive or negative, a yes and a no, stress is an opposite force to something else. Stress is good or bad depending on what's its catalyst. Stress we want to avoid is when it becomes a precursor to some sort of boiling point which causes a negative response mentally or physically.

The negative factors of stress are caused from your physical environment and eventually transcend toward how your internal factors respond. How you mentally process elements in your daily life will very likely determine your stress level. Chores aren't done? You can be mad about the fact and think of reasons why it is not done and force yourself to be more upset, or you can move on and consider the chore will be done eventually. Being mad or thinking it has to be done "right now" is pointing you in the direction of negative stress. People who strive for perfection tend to be a vortex for stress - this I know this because I'm one of those people.

Not addressing these negative factors will only lead to a bigger problem over time. Some easy road blocks to stress are diet and exercise. As we enter the second half of our lives our changing physiology plays a big part in contributing toward our stress levels because we are constantly learning different ways to cope with the aging process. Diet and exercise are crucial when it comes to coping with so many of our physical changes. There are also other tools which can help with coping with stress and can be accessed through your doctor with medication or through self help books at your local library. Not addressing the issue or being in denial will only send you into depression or ultimately, to your grave.
