In this episode of Quick Tips from the WELL podcast, we dive into practical, holistic strategies to help you manage stress and reclaim your sense of balance. We all face stress, whether it’s from work, personal life, or the world around us—but when it becomes overwhelming, it can take a toll on our mental and physical health.
Are you experiencing any of the following:
Physical Signs:
- Fatigue: Feeling constantly tired, even after a full night’s rest, is a common indicator of high stress.
- Headaches: Frequent tension headaches or migraines can be a physical response to prolonged stress.
- Muscle Tension: Stiffness, particularly in the neck, shoulders, and back, can be a sign of stress.
- Sleep Issues: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling unrested can be caused by stress.
- Digestive Problems: Stress can lead to stomachaches, nausea, diarrhea, or constipation.
- Increased Heart Rate or Chest Tightness: Stress can elevate your heart rate or cause a sensation of tightness or pressure in your chest.
- Frequent Illness: Stress weakens the immune system, making you more susceptible to colds, infections, or illnesses.
Emotional Signs:
- Irritability: Feeling easily frustrated, impatient, or angry, especially over small things, is a common emotional sign of high stress.
- Anxiety: Feeling nervous, worried, or on edge frequently is linked to elevated stress levels.
- Overwhelm: A sense of being unable to cope with daily tasks or responsibilities can be an emotional indicator of high stress.
- Mood Swings: Sudden shifts in mood, from feeling fine to feeling sad or anxious, can be stress-related.
- Lack of Motivation: Feeling unmotivated or disconnected from activities you normally enjoy can indicate stress overload.
Behavioral Signs:
- Changes in Appetite: Stress can either increase or decrease your appetite. Some people may overeat or crave unhealthy foods, while others may lose their appetite.
- Increased Use of Substances: Turning to alcohol, caffeine, or other substances to cope with stress is a behavioral sign of high stress.
- Procrastination: Putting off tasks or feeling overwhelmed by the thought of completing responsibilities is often a response to stress.
- Social Withdrawal: Avoiding social situations or withdrawing from loved ones is a common reaction when stress becomes overwhelming.
