Published: Sept. 7, 2020, 1 p.m.

b'Do you sometimes feel stressed? You can\\u2019t keep your thoughts together. Being stressed can affect you deeply in both mind and emotion, so what can you do about it?

Stay with me and I\\u2019ll share some tips.

Let me start by asking you a couple of questions.

\\u2022Are you feeling stressed?

\\u2022Does it look like there are constant obstructions in your way?

\\u2022Does it seem like you have so much to do that you can\\u2019t keep them straight?

\\u2022Do you feel like some insane existence is sabotaging you by preventing your progress?


In this podcast, I am going to share some things to look for. Before I start I want to encourage anyone who is feeling extremely stressed to check with their doctor.

What is it like when you feel stressed? You can\\u2019t keep your thoughts together, every problem is huge, and you feel overwhelmed, anxious and have trouble sleeping. You might feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders.

Being stressed can affect you deeply in both mind and emotion.


There is a really good chance that you would be hard-pressed to find someone in your life \\u2014 including you \\u2014 that wouldn\\u2019t say they\\u2019re stressed about something.

And while stress can sometimes be good \\u2014 it can help you conquer fears or motivate you to get something done \\u2014 when you\\u2019re constantly in a state of tension and anxiety, it can have an effect on your body\\u2019s physical and emotional state.


I will look at 7 symptoms of stress and what you can do about them.

1. You\\u2019re constantly sick

It seems like every week you\\u2019ve felt sick. Are you continually have a cough, sore throat or a fever, you might want to blame your workload and not just your sneezing co-worker. When we are under extreme pressure, our bodies secrete a stress hormone called cortisol that can help us short-term, but if you\\u2019re stressed out constantly, these hormones aren\\u2019t as helpful and can become depleted over time. Cortisol and other hormones are components of the immune system and though they help the body cope with stress, when these hormones are withdrawn, we become more susceptible to sickness.

Stress can also slow wound healing, contribute to the reactivation of latent viruses, and increase vulnerability to viral infections.

What you should do: Allow your body the time it needs to recover. Listen to your body when you feel tired or drained and make time for rest and extra sleep.


2. You\\u2019re having trouble concentrating.

When you\\u2019re too overwhelmed to focus on what\\u2019s in front of you, or you can\\u2019t remember simple things like a co-worker\\u2019s name, it could be a sign you\\u2019re overworked. Studies have also shown that long-term stress stimulates the growth of the proteins that might cause Alzheimer\\u2019s disease.

What you should do: If you can\\u2019t focus or remember simple things during the workday, taking a few long inhales and exhales can help when faced with a high-pressure situation. \\u201cDeep, even breathing not only affects whether or not our thoughts control us or we control them, but it also affects the bodily sensations that are experienced when faced with a high-stress situation.

There are more symptoms of stress that you should be aware of. Continue reading or listen to the podcast, and I\\u2019ll tell you what they are and what you can do about them...
