Stress, for most of us, is an inevitable part of our lives. Our job, relationships, and financial problems can cause stress. Stress can affect everything we do, think or feel. It can also affect our body functions. Signs of stress include sweating, difficulty of concentrating, eating and sleeping problems.

Efficient Stress Management in Daily Life

Stress can cause serious illness if it isn't relieved. An early recognition of the symptoms of stress is essential. It will help to figure out ways of coping and save us from adopting unhealthy coping methods, such as drinking or smoking, leading to dangerous addictions. There is not much we can do to prevent stress, but there are things we can do to manage it more efficiently, like admiring the beauty of nature, lighting scented candles or burn some incense, using essential oils, listening to relaxing music, doing yoga and meditating, practicing relaxation techniques. There is no quick-fix cure for stress-related problems, and not the same method will work for everyone.
