Managing Stress in the 21st Century
Stress is a part of life in the 21st century. The multi-tasking demands of our fast-paced lives can be very stressful. Technological advances such as email and cell phones are convenient, but they can make it hard to find moments of uninterrupted peace and quiet. Try these suggestions to keep your stress under control:

  • Begin each day with breakfast.
  • Use your time wisely. Avoid procrastination and over-scheduling.
  • Allow extra time for the “unexpected.”
  • Watch for caffeine overload. Too much caffeine can increase feelings of stress and anxiety and make it hard to concentrate.
  • Take brief relaxation breaks throughout the day – try deep breathing and stretching often.
  • Schedule time for regular exercise and the activities you enjoy.
  • Get plenty of rest. You perform better when your brain is rested and clear.
  • Keep things in perspective. Don’t dwell on your mistakes. Focus on the things you do “right.”
  • Give yourself permission to “turn off” your electronic devices once in a while.
  • Check your anxiety level to see if negative thoughts and worries are distracting you. Constant worrying can drain your mind and body of energy and it is a waste of your precious time.
  • You can decrease worrying when you re-direct your attention to a positive thought or image or stay focused on the present moment rather than the future or the past.
