Enjoy Life

Stress in our life is increasing day by day. We have been pressing hard for everything, seems that life is going too fast and we don’t have time for our own health. Just running to get something.

When you are working too much, then you are sweating bullets, your heart's pounding, your mouth seems dry; you are about to fall sick. These are typical signs of stress. How your body reacts to stress can vary. It can be overwork or the tension of share market or to perform best in a group or athletes to deliver the best and many more.

It is often mental and emotional attitude of a person that dictates whether stress is good or bad for any one individual. We spend our weeks racing round with no time left to relax. We are dogged by insomnia, depression, irritability or anxiety, and consequently, overdose on drink, coffee, drugs and cigarettes.

To make matters worse we are becoming cyber-slaves and the laptop is the scourge of the 21st century, eroding family life and relaxation. Mobile phones chain you to the office even when you are on holiday, faxes clog your desk and computers take up more time than they save.

The stress could be of work and family like starting or finishing college, moving house, changing your work hours, having trouble with the boss, or going on holiday. These can be the death of a friend, partner or close relative, a child leaving home, the death of a partner, debts, injury or illness, being fired, retiring, getting divorced or getting married. Even children suffer stress. Though we don’t notice that.

However, it is not these external life events that determine how stressed we get, it's how we, as unique individuals, process the experience. It is not what happens but how we react that causes our stress overload. Stress is your body's biochemical reaction to how you live your life. Stress can develop into distress and disease through your personal adaptation to internal and external environments.

Stress is closely linked to the autonomic nervous system. It floods our bloodstream with the hormones adrenaline, which arouse strong physiological responses, including the blood being directed from the intestines and skin to the heart and brain, increased heart rate, faster breathing and profuse sweating.

However, when stress is excessive in everyday life, it becomes a problem. It can certainly be uncomfortable to the point where it is counter-productive, crippling performance and stifling normal activity, leading to both physical and psychological problems.

Though we realized stress when we fall sick or with some other diseases attack us। The better way to cope up with stress is try to be happy and enjoy your work; never take is as a burden on you. Share some moments with your family daily without talking to your office matters. By giving some time to our self we can control it; otherwise the effect will be dangerous.

Great post. I'm always saying how I wish we were still living in the 'simple' times. Unfortunately, there's too much focus on progress now. Good advice though. I recently went through depression and imsomnia but I am better and I remind myself of things similar to your advice every day.
