Dealing With Stress Naturally

Experiencing anxiety, tension and stress are immutable facts of life in this day and age. The pace of modern life picks up more and more each week. Many of us become overwhelmed because it becomes\nincreasingly difficult to find time to relax or take it easy every now and then.\n

Few of us are able to \"take time out to smell the flowers\" nowadays, especially since the world wide recession hit and affected all of our lives. Many of us are working more than one job to make\nends meet and rarely have time for healthy, emotional fulfilling activities that could allay our feelings of tension, anxiety and stress.

\n

Even though stress is a recognized killer that contributes to all kinds of potentially lethal conditions including strokes and heart attacks it is an inevitable fact of life for just about\neveryone.

\n

In fact many people are thrown for a loop at least once again and feel overwhelmed by a mountain of work. It is hard to stay physically or emotionally stable when you feel squished by financial\ntroubles, needy people and rigid societal structures that make us feel exasperated and frustrated.

\n

Feeling like life is just too much to bear is a fairly routine occurrence for most people and rather than be knocked down by circumstances many people find some kind of \"crutch\" to get them\nthrough the day.

\n

Some people self-medicate by using alcohol, food or street drugs to relieve stress and anxiety and others take themselves to a doctor\'s office to get a prescription for something that will calm\nthem down, perk them up or cheer them up.

\n

Of course all of these things will only bring you a temporary respite from the stress and in fact the escapist nature of these \"treatments\" - self administered or not - often rebounds in the form\nof hangovers, unmet deadlines and getting even more behind which of course results in even more stress.

\n

Getting stressed out every day is normal but for some individuals stress and anxiety becomes so bad that they have to call in sick, cancel social obligations and avoid living their life!
