The Power and the Effects of Stress in the Lives of Women

What Is Stress?

In today’s society the world is busy and full of uncertainty, it is because of this fast-pace and uncertainty that a lot of people start to exhibit signs of feeling stressed. In most cases we can expect to have stress to be a part of our everyday life. Stress can affect our bodies in many different ways. Our bodies will have a tendency to react physically, mentally or emotionally in response to any stresses that we may have. Stress is not always bad, we can also have good stresses in our lives, which is a great thing to experience and have. But the stresses that we do need to be aware of, is when the stress becomes more of a negative in our life. These stresses can usually arise from the ongoing challenges of life, work issues, financial problems or even other conditions around us. It is these stresses that can affect our bodies in ways that can be harmful and that can lead to negative behavior, that can contribute to long-term health issues.

Stress and Women

Women walk in all different walks of life from the working women, a mother, a working mother, women who are single or married and even women who are retired. How is stress related to women or why do women even exhibit a high level of stress? This is generally due to a high number of expectations or wanting to be perfect. Women need to know that they are not perfect, that its okay to have those bad days. Is this what you as a women experience? Women need to know that this stress is not good for them, that this stress is the leading contributor to most chronic health issues that they will either get or experience in their lifetime.

Ways Women Can Conquer Stress

There are many reasons why women get stressed. But there are also many ways that women can help ease the burden of stress in their life. To briefly touch on a few ways, some of these can range from different areas of our life. Anywhere from our physical well being, to our emotional, and our mental capacity of our life. We can go more in depth. In regards to our physical well-being this would include ways like exercising, yoga, eating healthy or even getting the proper amount of sleep. In the emotional area we can take the time to talk to someone, being positive or even having a healthy self-esteem. Some other tools that we can use, can be having time to ourselves, journal writing, or even just listening to music. The key concept is finding what works best for you and what will help to alleviate the stress in your life.

The Benefits of Conquering Stress

Some of the greatest benefits from using these tools is the power of getting back what is taken from us when we have stress in our life. By doing this we will have the power of hope, the power of strength, and the power of resilience. We will also have the power to overcome anything that comes our way. We will have the resilience to push through these battles. This will make us stronger and be able to fight whatever comes our way. We need to remember as women that stress can be conquered, and that we are not alone, we just need to know what works for us and do it.
