Six Secrets To De-Stressing Your Life During A Recession
Dear Reader,
The tight economic times aren't just hard on our wallets (and 401Ks) they
bump up our stress level too.
Job insecurity, financial pressures and constant uncertainty that on
top of the hustle-bustle of our everyday lives all contribute to a steadily
mounting stress level.
What's worse, if you ignore stress (prolonged, unexpected or unmanageable)
this doesn't make it go away. In fact, the destructive consequences of
long-term stress on the body and mind are all the worse if you don't
do anything to manage it.
With regular reports of gloomy economic numbers, it's no surprise that
the most recent Stress in America survey found that our financial worries
are taking a physical and emotional toll on everyone, with working women
bearing the brunt of the stress.
Nearly half of the nearly 1,800 adult respondents said their stress
levels were up over a year ago. People reported fatigue, being irritable
or angry, or lying awake at night because of stress.
Women are more likely to report these stress symptoms than men.
Veterans of the stress management world, clinical professor of medicine
and psychiatry Dr. Paul J. Rosch, and research psychologist Deborah Rozman
recommend these strategies to cope:
1. Volunteer - not the thing you'd expect to top a list like this, but
Rozman insists it's a great strategy. "Volunteering actually opens
you up to possibilities," she explains. The amazing thing is that
there is no shortage of opportunities. Think about a church or local
event, a food pantry or soup kitchen, driving elderly neighbors to appointments
- All these are examples of ways to get your mind off you. What's more
this will "reopen the heart," according to Rozman, "because
the heart gets shut down when you worry."
2. Practice appreciation - by changing your outlook, focusing on what
you still have, you can do yourself a world of good. Rozman explains. "If
you still have a job, appreciate that." Look for the good in your
life and take a moment to enjoy these things, whatever they might be.
She contends that doing this will help to bring hope back to your heart.
3. Tweak traditional de-stress advice - do what works for you. You've
heard about regular exercising, eating healthy, getting enough sleep
and the relaxation techniques you might use to calm yourself. "You
have to find out what works for you so that you will practice and adhere
to it because it relieves tension and makes you feel better," Dr.
Rosch points out. "Jogging, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation,
yoga and listening to music are great for some but dull, boring and stressful
when arbitrarily imposed on others."
4. Decrease the drama - that's around you as much as possible. Even
if you can't be rid of it all, cut some out. For example, Rozman points
out that those who are in fear of losing a job might tend to grumble
more. This only adds to your stress and makes the environment around
you miserable too. "Drama is when we amp up anger, anxiety or fear," Rozman
continues. Rather than piling on to a stress filled discussion, try to
change the subject or the tone.
5. Ration your news diet - and you'll notice the difference at once.
The news, now always-on and intent on disaster is full of gloom and doom.
Limit your viewing, Rozman suggests, deciding how much you can watch
to stay informed without being overwhelmed.
6. Stop the comparisons - they're hard to avoid in times like these,
but they are no help in the end. "Don't compare the present with
the past," Rozman says. Give yourself time to mourn and heal after
a setback. But then you must move on. Instead of thinking about what
you've lost, think instead about what you can still do to reach your
goals.

Fortune 500 companies make their money by people like you and I buying their

we like, where we shop and what we buy.
In a nutshell big businesses need people to tell them what products to make.
