Set limits to avoid stress

June 15, 2007 Stressed out? Stress can cause physical, emotional and behavioral disorders that can affect your health, vitality, and peace of mind as well as your personal and professional relationships. Too much stress can cause minor health problems like insomnia, backaches or headaches and can contribute to life-threatening ailments such as high blood pressure or heart disease.

Setting limits will go a long way in helping you avoid stressful situations. Try to:

• Set realistic goals for you and your family both at home and at work and stick to them.
• Be sure not to take on more than you can handle.
• Recognize that saying "no" sometimes benefits your mind and body.
• Identify and eliminate unnecessary stressors in your life.
