Stress stimulates a surge of hormones which makes your sleep and relaxation moments worthless. Exhausted body needs a good rest, but as far as you can’t rest while you are stressed you may start to feel headaches, moodiness, and memory loss, inability to concentrate and even aggressive behavior. It’s well known for a long time that constant stress weakens your immune system; therefore you are always in danger to get colds, the flu or other dangerous health issues. Heart attacks are also usually the consequences of stress.
Make a wellbeing checklist. If these three to five items were part of your daily routine, you’d feel more balanced, content and happy. These items may include physical exercise, balanced diet, reading, writing, talking with friends, spending quality time with loved ones, meditation and/or prayer, etc. Then carefully schedule your week these items every day. Stick to your schedule and make your own wellbeing a priority.
