Set limits to avoid stress
June 15, 2008Stressed out? Stress 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, weight gain, backaches or headaches, and in the long run, can contribute to 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.
- Don't take on more than you can handle-let go of unnecessary "obligations."
- Recognize that saying "no" can benefit your mind and body.
- Let others know when they need to give you space.
