Many women face difficult challenges
and responsibilities that may
overlap or conflict, causing stress
that can affect their health. Stress
can arise out of difficulties at
home, in relationships, and in the
workplace. Family "well-being"
includes stable relationships, and
family members' ability to fulfill
essential roles in the home, child
rearing values and practices, and
the mental and physical health and
development of every family member.
Researchers are also trying to
determine which workplace conditions
influence employees' experiences of
conflict between work and family
roles; they are studying the effects
of job stress on spouses and on
marriage; and they are studying how
parents' working conditions may
affect their parenting and their
children.
Emotional stress can lead to the
following:
high blood pressure
increased susceptibility to
substance abuse and illness
less resistance to disease
depression
Tips to reduce or manage the stress
in your life:
Eat a healthy
diet and exercise regularly. A
nutritious, well-balanced diet
and exercise can keep your body
fit and able to resist disease,
and exercise is an excellent way
to elevate your mood.
Talk about your stressful
situations with someone you
trust. Sometimes, just talking
about your problems and concerns
can help you put them into
perspective and give you
insights into ways to deal with
them.
Stay organized to help manage
your time more efficiently.
Remember, no one can do it all
alone, so ask for help.
Use relaxation techniques to
calm your mind and body.
