Do not think you are alone if you are experiencing raised levels of stress, potentially another 99,999,999 Americans are thought to be suffering the same fate! These figures are from a survey taken BEFORE THE CREDIT CRUNCH! Suggesting that one third of those polled had increased levels of stress. We are seeing some of the hardest and coldest financial times that most of us have never experienced. There has and will never be a better time to give serious consideration to how you manage your stress. Coping with stress is not a long term option, we all need to remove as much of it from our lives as is possible.

The symptoms of stress may vary, but some of the most common symptoms of excessive stress include restless or sleepless nights, difficulty making decisions, difficulty concentrating on your work, a constant feeling of being tired or ill and unending worry. People under chronic stress have a hard time being motivated to carry out everyday tasks, little own anything requiring that little extra push. They may find it difficult to be affectionate with their loved ones or to be optimistic.

Do you ever feel this way? Many people do, in fact recent studies have shown as many as one in three Americans when asked agreed to be suffering with too much stress! Therefore potentially 100,000,000 Americans are living their lives with too much stress!! Stress is practically an epidemic. The major concern is stress is now being linked to very serious health problems, and can also amplify some existing complaints.

Sometimes people think that "things will get better" and then stress won't be so much of a problem if they can just get through until next month. That may be true, but we have little control over much of what happens in life, and if we simply wait for circumstances to improve we could have suffered greatly from the effects of coping with stress in the meantime or be causing future health problems for ourselves.

The human body reacts strongly to prolonged or severe stress, and our mind does not always know how to cope on autopilot. While it is good to know that people love and depend on you, it can be stressful knowing that your co-workers or employees, your spouse, your children, and perhaps others need you to be performing and supplying 100% of the time. Feeling that intense financial stress so many of us are dealing with, and wondering how you're going to take care of those who depend on you can lead to serious consequences.

Too much unrelieved stress could cause the following problems (and many more!):

* Chronic tension in your neck and back

* Weight gain

* Conflicts with loved ones

* Clinical depression

* Increased risk of heart disease, cancer, and other diseases

* Problems with your memory to name a few of a very long list.........

Eventually you may get to the point that a constant state of anxiety seems "normal" and any relaxation or relief from that anxiety seems like a rare, exceptional event! If you can relate to this situation at all then you must begin contemplating your stress management.

The truth is that how our life goes is only one tenth determined by what happens to us. The other nine tenths are determined by how we react to what happens to us. How do you react when you are under stress? How do you react when you are calm and focused? There's a big difference, correct? You need to master learning to control stress or you'll spend your life reacting because of stress, damaging relationships, destroying your health, and maybe even shortening your life. Clearly, learning to cope with stress effectively and healthily is crucial, not only for your health, but also for the health of your relationships and your professional life therefore your very income!
