How do I lower my stress tolerance?

I've been under a TON of stress for a really long time, and I've handled it well, but recently my stress level started creeping up again, I barely noticed that I was feeing stressed out, but then I got really sick. The doc has ordered weeks of bedrest.

He told I should use some of that time to think about ways to reduce my stress level. How do I do that when I am so used to being under stress that I am not aware of how bad it is?

Thanks...

Have enough sunlight, eat yogurt and green leafy veggies, avoid fatty and carbo-rich foods, sleep early at night, jog/ work-out, take a walk, take vitamin -C and B-complex.

Above is proven Effective.

Reduce Stress At Work

What is ONE very specific thing you can do this week to reduce your overall stress level?

No Website referrals or sweeping generalizations please. Would your choice be good for just you or for everyone else? What might help you may not be great for someone else. For example, if you decided to treat yourself to a day at the Spa, getting a massage, a pedicure, enjoying the sauna and steam bath, this might not be helpful to someone else who could not afford to take a day or half a day off of work.

I just made my first appointment for accupuncture. Certainly not a typical way to deal w/stress, and it wasnt the primary reason, but I was told that it will not only relieve physical pains, but stress as well!

Otherwise I'd go nap on the back deck and soak up some sun for a few minutes. That always makes me feel better.

Line graph...confused! I need some help!?

So i've been keeping a journal on my stress everyday for my stress management class. Now, I have to make a line graph...in word. I need to be able to rate my stress level from 1-10 and show it on EVERY SINGLE DAY. It cannot be averaged..it has to show every single day...which is about 100 days. How am I to do this with the line graph in word? I've never done this before and am so confused. I thank you for help!

Rather than doing it in Word, do it in Excel and then just copy paste the graph over to Word.

In any case, for whichever program you use, simply make a table with all your values, then click Insert - Graph, choose your graph type, (choice Line - scattered) and it will give you an option to select what data you want to be graphed. The steps may vary depending on what version of Word or Excel you are running.

Stress And Management

Tips for stress management during early pregnancy?

I'm currently under huge stress for many reasons, I'm foreigner living in Japan and I'm afraid this could affect my child. In Japan people don't do any counseling or anything.It's just piling and piling.

Hi! Although some research shows that although moderate stress does not necessarily "harm" your baby, stress during pregnancy has been shown to negative effects, especially on the timing of delivery of your baby, and on how well the baby grows and develops. Some examples of the research in this area are findings that stress correlated with premature labor and delivery, low birthweight, increased incidence of pregnancy complications, and also, children of stressed pregnancies have more illness, behavioral and developmental delays.

Having said that, our bodies are designed to manage stress pretty well, so some stress is fine, even during pregnancy. When it's ongoing, however, or happens a lot, as you are describing, that is when problems can become more of a worry. The best things you can do to relieve some of that stress are to find some support to help you deal with your issues at work. From what you've said, this probably needs to be more than just friends to talk to; you probably want to speak to a counselor, priest, life coach, or even to your doctor (who you are seeing for the baby). One option is to use online counseling (check out asktheinternettherapist.com). Find someone you trust who can be objective and help you think through this really hard time.

Of course, it’s impossible to completely eliminate stress completely from your life, but you can make decisions that control your stress level and help you control the effects of stress on your health. At the core of stress management are things like following a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and making time for uninterrupted relaxation, even if it’s just a few minutes a day. Antoher thing that be a big help, if just saying no to anything you do not have to do to make more time for relaxation and to take the pressure off. If you have to, tell people it''s ahealth issue and you have to say no.

Happily, research has shown that people, pregnant or not, even those living stressful lives, can avoid many of the negative effects of stress when they implement and stick to stress-management techniques. So, the good news is that with a little planning and some support, stress does not have to create problems for your health- you can anticipate stress, build in support, and take care of your mind and body, even in a stressful world!

Hang in there, and take care!
