Topic: Consequences of Stress

 

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 your stressed? How did smoking come into play here?
