Members,
We’ve talked about anger, stress and disputes. We will now be discussing specific stress management strategies in a variety of settings & contexts.
Learning stress management skills is part of having a healthy lifestyle. It is just as important as learning how to eat well. Exposure to stress over long periods of time has been linked to the development of:
· Frequent headaches
· Upset stomach
· Diarrhea or constipation
· Lowered immune system
· Disturbed sleeping patterns
· High blood sugar
· High blood pressure
· Increased cholesterol
Does this sound familiar to anyone? How do you feel or know when you are stressed? How did smoking come into play here?
