Ask any person living in a big city what causes them the
most stress in an average day and they will most likely reply with…’Driving my
car!’. There is something paradoxical about the way in which we need a car to
live, yet we find it such a burden, both mentally and financially. As our lives
become more hectic, we are finding that we need to get to places much quicker.
This causes stress, which causes us to become more irritable. Have you every
lost your temper and become angry whilst driving? We call this negative
feeling…Road rage!
One of the biggest causes of stress is work. These days it
seems as if our lives are controlled and dominated by our jobs more than ever.
Some people blame to computer for this problem, as we can now take our work
home with us more easily, thanks to the laptop computer. Mobile phones mean
that our supervisors and managers can contact us anywhere at any time. It would
be fair to say that these days our free time is even more precious than it ever
was before.
If you suffer too much stress and worry over a long period
of time, then your health may begin to suffer. Your mind may be affected to
such a degree that your way of thinking and behaving becomes erratic and disorganised. You may begin to suffer from Insomnia,
which means that you will find it difficult to get to sleep. A doctor may
prescribe you medicine, or you may wish to talk to a professional councellor,
who will listen to your worries and help guide you through the difficulties you
are experiencing. Believe it or not, talking to someone about your worries can
be a great help indeed.
So how do we deal with stress and more importantly, how do
we prevent ourselves from getting stressed? Well, it is of course better to
avoid becoming stressed in the first place. Try to give yourself plenty of time
before setting off on a journey. It is better to seek out the reason for your
stress, than to simply blame everything. Some people find it helpful to talk to
(with) another person in private about their worries and concerns. Taking
regular rest breaks from work is very important. Some people use relaxation
exercises to ease their stress, such as meditation. The important thing is to
avoid keeping hold of your stress and bottling it up inside because one day you
may explode..emotionally that is.
We all have times in our lives when things seem too much to
bear. The problems we face, the unexpected occurrences which seem to come from
nowhere, out of the blue. A large problem may quickly blow away and cause us
very little stress, while a small problem may linger with us for a long period
and may over time seem far worse than it actually is. It is not the problem
itself which causes us stress, but the way in which we deal with it in the
first place. Talking over your worries with a close friend can be a great help.
After all, a problem shared is a problem solved, or at the very least, eased.
That is all from me for today. I hope this lesson has not caused you too much
stress. May all your worries be small ones. Take care until we meet again. This
is Misterduncan in England saying thank you for watching me and of course…ta-ta
for now.
