Handling Life’s Stressors - Fear of dentists, barking dogs, barking bosses
Avoiding stress seems an impossible challenge as we can seem
overwhelmed with many kinds of stress – parenting, marital, life-changes such
as getting married, divorce, death in the family, test-taking, a new job,
losing a job, moving, losing your home, mall-stress, paying with plastic
stress, organizational stress, holiday season stress, driving stress, getting a
traffic ticket, losing your temper, perfectionism and a biggie – fear of
doctors and dentists.
Especially dentists – the guys with those needles as big
as your arm they stick in your mouth when you’re not looking. The list of
stressors in modern life seems endless.
But there are many ways to cope with stress. Many you already
know, some that may surprise you. And I’m not just talking Cuban cigars, margaritas
and salsa dancing in Mexico. To lower your stress level - first identify the
cause(s) of your anxieties.
What in your life is causing those headaches,
backaches, light-headedness, upset stomach, racing heart, nervous tics,
insomnia, weight-gain, hyper-tension, the road rage, angina attacks, phobias
etc. What is it (or who is it) in your life that is making you so unhappy?
Sometimes stress is caused by poor diet, lack of exercise and
sleep – all easily remedied. I’m not going to tell you to get 7 hours sleep, to
stop eating all that fat, sugar, salt and consuming that liter of single malt
whiskey every day for breakfast – you’ve heard it all before. And I’m not going
to tell you to walk a mile on the beach every day. Or file for divorce.
