Are you stressed?

Most people experience a period of stress in their lives at some time. This is perfectly normal and there are are different types of support available. Here are some ideas to help you deal with those difficult times.

Running

We all know about the physical benefits of running, but the mental effects, such as clarity of thought and relief from stress, are just as important for good health. Running sends blood to the brain and makes it easier to think clearly. (1) …   [A, B, C, D, E, F] …………… If you’re feeling stressed, go for a jog. The effect is even better when you run well. How to do it? A good tip is to watch an eight-year-old child running. Their steps are springy; the foot gets off the floor quickly and comes down lightly. You should take notice of what your brain is telling you. (2) ……   [A, B, C, D, E, F] ………………… You’ll discover how good it makes you feel once you get the hang of it.

Sleeping

It is all too easy for those who can ‘hit the pillow and go out like a light’ to tell you to just stop thinking about things. If you are a worrier, you can’t just stop worrying, and this can affect your sleep. So, obey the basic rules: try to go to bed and get up at the same time every day, and allow some time to relax before bed. (3) ……   [A, B, C, D, E, F] …………… This should ideally be in the same place, at the same time every day. Give yourself 15–20 minutes to think about your worries and write a to-do list. Try drinking some warm milk and whatever you do, switch off your phone! And if you’re worrying about not sleeping and not being able to cope the next day, remember that sometimes our bodies actually need less sleep than we think. (4) …   [A, B, C, D, E, F] ………………

Writing

Writing down the things that are worrying us can be very therapeutic. It is a way of setting a thought free. Once it’s on the page or screen, we can read it, reread it, delete it or think about it. It can help us look at a problem more objectively. (5) …   [A, B, C, D, E, F] ………… Try it: take one of your worries, such as a conversation or argument that has troubled you, and write what you wish you’d said or the words of support you'd hoped the other person might say to you. Writing a blog may have replaced diaries, but they are both a means of presenting your thoughts. (6) …   [A, B, C, D, E, F] …… Try some of these suggestions and may find that your stress levels begin to go down. But don’t forget – a certain level of stress in the body is good for you!

A Running robotically on a treadmill with a blasting MP3 player is not going to get those happy hormones working.

B Although we’re told to get eight hours, six to seven hours can be fine, so you may be getting more than enough sleep for your body to function well.

C Tune into your feet and not the MP3 player.

D Writing allows us to use both the logical and creative parts of the brain.

E The style doesn’t need to be of a prize-winning standard to have value!

F As for your worries, give yourself a ‘worry period’.
