Your Guide to Coping with Stress

coping with stressStress is your body’s physiological and psychological response to the events, situations, and people you encounter in life. Although it’s completely natural to experience stress from time to time, too much stress can definitely have a negative impact on how healthy you feel. Over the long term, too much stress can contribute to illness by increasing your susceptibility to the common cold and flu, weakening your body’s immune response, and causing heart problems such as high blood pressure. Too much stress is also bad for your mental health;depression, anxiety, and addiction can all be brought on by the experience of stress.
Coping with stress in a positive manner can be difficult; after all, you can’t control the many problems that you will have to face as you journey through life. In the 1970s, psychiatrists Homes and Rahe created a scale of stressful life events, called the Homes and Rahe Stress Scale. Based on research from over 5000 medical patients, the scale assigns a numerical value, out of 100, to indicate how stressful a given life event is. Death of a spouse ranks as the highest on the list with a value of 100, while divorce and marital separation follow with values of 73 and 65, respectively. Going through the scale and tallying the stressful life events you’ve experienced should give you an idea of how affected you are by stress.
The more stressful life events you experience, the more you need to work to manage you stress in a manner that is healthy.
