Dear Lori,
wheel of life

In this mid-month, mini newsletter, we will explore one of the 8 major areas of the Wheel of Life. This month we will focus on Health and Aging.

Keeping A Stress Diary
According to Jerome F. Kiffer, a writer for WebMD, stress that continues without relief can lead to a condition called distress -- a negative stress reaction. Distress can disturb the body's internal balance or equilibrium -- leading to physical symptoms including headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and problems sleeping. Research suggests that stress also can bring on or worsen certain symptoms or diseases.

One way to begin eliminating stress from your life is to keep a stress diary. In this diary, you can keep a record of the minor and major stresses you encounter each day. The essential elements to record are date, time, stressor, a stress rating that tells what level of stress you experienced, and what your reaction was - physically and emotionally. Some of the stressors might include an argument with your spouse, child misbehavior, job stress, traffic, or financial worries. Typical reactions are festering inside, outward expression of anger, crying, worry, and any number of physical reactions.

Keep your stress diary for a minimum of one month. Look for ongoing stressors that repeat themselves. Develop a plan to eliminate or minimize these stressors so your health is not negatively affected. Practice stress-relieving techniques like deep breathing, taking breaks, exercise, journaling, meditation, yoga and prayer.

What is your greatest pain or stressor in life? I'm collecting answers and will share them in next month's newsletter. Click here to share your #1 stressor.

Blessings,
