Stress Management
When your brain perceives a threat, it releases hormones that raise your heart rate and blood pressure
The Response
Learn to say "no," leave stressful environments, and drop non-essential tasks from your to-do list.
Avoid
Focus on the things you can change and let go of what you cannot, such as managing your own reactions to stressful events.
Control
Modern life keeps this alarm system turned on too often, which can lead to serious health issues over time.
The Problem
Communicate your feelings respectfully, be assertive, and manage your time better instead of bottling things up.
