How can I get rid of my stress?
Where do you go when you're feeling under pressure and stressed? Even the calmest of lives can bring about feelings of stress and you've probably asked yourself, more than once, "How can I get rid of my stress?"
Richard Bandler, co founder of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) on being asked what he thought about stress management.
"I think stressing the management is a good idea. The first thing for people to realise is that stress doesn't exist, it isn't a thing or a virus, you can't catch it! It's simply when the world doesn't do what you want it to do and the world has a habit of doing that."
A visit to your doctor may get you some prescribed medication. You may have used the online Mood Self Assessment questionnaire to reach for help too.
NHS UK stress self assessment quiz.
This assessment, while useful, will probably confirm what you know already! You know you are feeling stressed and struggling with negative thoughts and emotions. The symptoms are draining and can interfere with every part of your life. It is not unusual to struggle with one or more of these symptoms and if you're really unlucky, they will all play havoc with your life.
- Feeling anxious, nervous and withdrawn
- Trying to hold everything together in your career and at home
- Experiencing low mood and feeling tearful
- Struggling with concentration, forgetfulness or indecision
- Suffering from fatigue and sleeplessness
- Not eating properly - overeating or undereating
- Increasing alcohol intake or recreational drug use
- Not enjoying sex and intimacy with a partner
If any of these ‘downers’ resonate with you, isn't it time for change?
Of course, there can be physical symptoms attached to stress, which should be checked out by your doctor first. This will rule out any underlying health conditions which may need medical treatment.
