Hint: certain types of counseling, CBT and Mindfulness, can be part of a simple yet effective stress management strategy.
Stress can interfere with your relationships and your career since focus, motivation, productivity, decisions, perspective, and concentration are affected too.
Change in appetite, racing heart, poor sleep, muscle tension, panic attacks, irritability, or difficulty breathing: stress can show up in physical symptoms.
Depression (low mood, tension, low energy, change in sleep or appetite, loss of interest in activities, feeling helpless or hopeless) and Anxiety can be present at the same time.
Is it time to tell the negative committee in your head to sit down and shut up?
Through mindfulness and CBT you may be able to put your mind under new management.
