Stress Management and Anxiety

By Lisa Taylor

Have you asked yourself recently “When is my life going to slow down?” Or maybe you’ve asked yourself “How am I going to get through all of this?”

Either question has a sense of panic/stress associated with it and in today’s high paced, multi tasking, over achieving world, the majority of us are walking around felling stressed and overwhelmed. Did you know that stress is responsible for so many health related issues like heart disease, hormonal imbalance, insomnia, hair loss, poor circulation, digestion, bowel issues and more?

So what are we to do? First of all, we can look at ways to reduce our stress by looking at our day to day schedules and see if there are things we are doing each day - by choice - that adds to our stress. If you have a job that is really stressing you out and feels exhausting day after day then maybe it’s time to consider doing something different. If your family life is stressing you out, what changes can you make to reduce that stress with your family? In a lot of cases, reducing stress can come from openly communicating with the people in your life about how your feeling because quite often we act like we are “fine” and we aren’t. So we keep our frustrations inside and they fester and stew and actually create more chaos inside our bodies.

Exercise, yoga, meditation, laughter, time outdoors are all FREE things we can incorporate into our daily lives that have been proven to decrease stress. Eating properly and getting enough sleep can also help us deal with stress. There is ONE supplement that I recommend to my clients which is by Himalaya - a company that has been around for 86 years - called StressCare. The lovely thing about this supplement is that its working on regulating your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, it helps the adrenal glands regulate cortisol, helps the thyroid with metabolism and energy and also will help you with sleep, stress, anxiety, depression and has been clinically proven!

If you are interested in purchasing this supplement, you can purchase it at stores in Calgary like Community Natural Foods and Amaranth. Dosage is 2, twice a day with your meal. If you are having issues with sleep then I recommend you take 2 with breakfast and then 2 before bed.
