Reducing Stress Stress seems to be the rule, not the exception, in our busy lives. When you are stressed, your body puts out warning signals. Stress can show up in the form of an inability to concentrate, forgetfulness, and poor judgement.
Symptoms can also be emotional.
These may include irritability, depression and apathy. Signs of stress can also show up in overeating, insomnia and increased use of alcohol or prescription drugs. Take responsibility for your stress and learn to manage it. You cannot wait for your organization, your spouse, or other people to change. You alone are responsible for your life, and only you can make choices and initiate changes.
