Exercise
Physical activities can help you remove stress in your life. It is believed that endorphins or the “happy hormone” is triggered by exercising. When you exercise, even for 15 minutes a day, you effectively relax your muscles, which become tight when you are feeling stressed out. An added bonus is you would also look great after continuous exercising, making you feel extra confident.
Insomnia
A person who lacks sleep will be unable to fight off stress. In fact, you will be more susceptible to stress if you are constantly losing sleep. An adult person must sleep 6-8 hours a day to fight off stress. If you fail to complete your sleep, your immune system would probably break down causing you to be sick. You would not want to be stressed out and sick at the same time.
Some stress is caused by reasons such as work pressures or family issues. Most people become stressed with their finances as well. Your psychiatrist will help you manage stress by finding out the exact reasons for your stress.
