At times people start becoming anxious about their future or even about their present situation. This can in certain cases even lead on to panic attacks.
In my opinion worrying does not help the situation, it only makes things worse. Well it certainly made things worse when I had a stutter – the more I worried, the worse the the stuttering became. I was desperate to find a way that could help me to stop stuttering as I knew this would help me to gain in confidence and have a better quality of life.
Insomnia
I personally had problems with falling to sleep at night due to the amount that I would stress and worry about things – I know that this seems like a crazy thing to be doing and looking back I agree it was – this was just the way in which I was living my life at this stage. Other causes are snoring, an intake of too much caffeine, a noisy environment or depression.
Irritability
When people lose sleep or work to hard they can become over tired and this can lead to irritability. This can cause people to have a higher pulse rate, making their muscles feel tight and can leave people also feeling anxious and lethargic.
It is important to therefore ensure that you obtain a good amount of hours sleep per night (at least seven)and that you only work a certain amount of hours per week. Money is important to people, however in my opinion health should be the priority. I found myself working too hard at one stage for a company which sold cheap holidays; this soon started to affect my sleep before I finally realised the mistake that I was making.
Solutions to these emotional health problems
I am now taking time out for me as I am fully aware that my body and brain need to have a treat from time to time. I was once described by a good friend as a “stress head” and this certainly would have been a good way to sum me up back then.
I now use various methods at different times of the year to help me to chill out a bit and to reward my body. These include reflexology, meditation, yoga, aromatherapy and tai chi. I must admit I could never get to grips with Yoga, however have heard it can prove to be very beneficial to people who can.
I am now a far more content, happier person and as a career now work with a business cost reduction specialist. I am sure that other people can also become more self-fulfilled with the help of alternative therapies and additional sleep.
