Ways to manage stress

The signs of stress are an early warning system. Stress is a recognized trigger for depression. It can affect your physical and mental health. With that in mind, you can see why it is important to spot the symptoms of stress that are in your life, in order to try to minimize or eliminate them.

The trouble is stress symptoms are not always easy to spot, symptoms may be masked with the thinking that headaches, forgetfulness, fatigue illness are a fact of life.

The more we get stressed the more we indulge in our vices. What do you do when you are stressed? Do you eat more? Do you drink excessively? Do you shop excessively? Doing these things to excess, may be a clear sign of being stressed out.
