Stress Relief Tips On Lifestyle Changes

This is not the complete list and some points will not be relevant to everyone.  Your own list might be different.  Some changes likely bring serious illness, while some indicates that remedial measures to limit the reaction to change should be taken.

People react differently and is not the situation itself that produces illness. It is the continual arousal that causes the trouble. It is wise, therefore, for us to avoid having more than one major change at a time.  For example:

• if you are about to retire, it is better not to move house at the same time; get one change over with first.

• if you take on a new job it will not be the best time to start slimming and getting married all at once.

We need to space our changes as much as we can, but if we have to meet several major changes simultaneously, we can adjust our reaction to them and relax, thereby lowering the level of arousal.
