But we let too many little things get to us, and long lasting stress can exhaust the body and mind. Crying over spilt milk doesn t do anyone a bit of good, and too much stress can lead to muscle tension, fatigue, nightmares, memory problems, depression, and has even been linked to serious illnesses such as heart disease. People perceive different situations as stressful. For example, some people are terrified of public speaking, but others crave the attention. How one handles a potentially stressful situation depends on a number of factors such as attitude, physical health, physical activity, support groups, and relaxation.
Crabby people are more prone to becoming stressed than people with a positive attitude.
Also, if a person s body is stressed from a lack of nutrition or poor health, then they tend to respond negatively to a stressful situation. Physical activity is a good way to decrease depression and stress. Being able to talk to someone about a problem, too, helps to relieve stress. People who live alone and have few close family members or friends are at a higher risk of depression and anxiety. So, to recap, you can try to manage your own stress by thinking positively, becoming physically active and eating well, reaching out to others, and either finding a hobby or trying some relaxation techniques.
