Members,
 
We’ve talked about anger, stress and disputes. We will now be discussing specific stress management strategies in a variety of settings & contexts.
 
In general, individuals who lead stressful lives often do not care for themselves adequately. They eat, exercise and sleep when they can as opposed to when they need to. This lack of self-care as it relates to stress can have devastating effects. It has been linked to
  • Adult-Onset Diabetes
  • High Cholesterol Levels
  • Hypertension
  • IBS
  • Stomach Ulcers
  • Migraine Headaches
  • Heart Attack & Cardiovascular Disease
  • Mental Health Crises & Illness
 Something to ponder!
