Health & Fitness ~ For your Mind, Body and Soul

April is Stress Awareness Month

(www.healthwebmagazine.com)


 

National Stress Awareness Month is a reminder for us to pay more attention to our mental
and physical health.  
Stress causes our body to release stress hormones which can cause a
spike in our blood sugar and heart rate.  Prolonged stress can impact our cardiovascular
and nervous systems. Stress does not only affect our mental health it can affect our
physical health.  
So here are 12 ways to help you cope with stress:

1. Jot down what stress you

2. Spend more time outdoors

3. Avoid caffeine and alcohol

4. Get enough sleep

5. Indulge in relaxing activities

6. Make time for your hobbies

7. Laugh more often

8. Let go of what you cannot change

9. Follow a routine

10. Take regular vacations

11. Reach out to your loved ones

12. Seek professional help if needed

 

Bonus #13. Seek the Lord thy God!

 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:6-7
