The easiest thing to do when the alarm clock rings would be to roll over and go back to sleep.
Yet if you made that choice every day you would never get anything accomplished.

The easiest thing to do when troubles come your way would be to look for someone else to blame.
Yet even if you find who is to blame, that's not going to remedy the situation.
The easiest thing to do when faced with a challenge would be to run away and hide.
Yet when you do that, the challenge becomes even more difficult the next time
you encounter it, and eventually you'll be unable to avoid it.

Taking the easy way out is never really easy, not in the long run.
Rather than seeking the easiest choice, seek the choice that will fill your life
and your world with the most value.

Rather than avoiding effort, welcome that effort and the progress it will bring.
Instead of being enticed by the empty promises of an easy answer,
enjoy the rich rewards of holding out for the best answer.
When you have the choice, forget what is easiest and go with what is truly best.

Between work, family obligations and money worries,
it may all feel too overwhelming sometimes.
Of course, there is good stress and bad stress.
The first one can motivate you to become more productive.
The second kind, the type that makes you lose sleep,
can actually be bad for your mental and physical health.
Here's a handy guide to help you assess whether you're stressed,
how serious your stress is, and how to deal with it.

Stress warning signs
Of course, different people deal with stress in different ways,
but here is a list of mental and physical symptoms to help you
understand if you're stressed.

The mental symptoms may involve you being:
•Angry
•Depressed
•Anxious
•Always hungry, or having no appetite
•Crying often
•Have trouble sleeping and feel tired
•Have trouble concentrating

The physical symptoms may involve:
•Chest pains
•Constipation, or diarrhoea
•Cramps, or muscle aches
•Feeling dizzy, or fainting
•Engaging in nervous behavior like biting your nails
•Twitches, or experiencing pins and needles
•Feeling restless
•Having sexual problems, from erectile dysfunction to lowered
sex drive.
•Feeling breathless
•Can't sleep

How stress works
When you are in a stressful situation, your body releases the hormones cortisol,
adrenaline, and noradrenaline, and these go on to cause the physical symptoms of stress.
You may start sweating, and your blood pressure and heart rate may rise.
This, in turn, may undermine your immune system, making you more
susceptible to illness, as well as lead your body to release fat and sugar
into your blood stream, which may lead you to gain weight.

As stress raises your blood pressure, if you are stressed in the long term,
you can develop high blood pressure, which in turn can increase your risk of
having a heart attack or a stroke.
If you feel that you are suffering from stress, see you GP,
but do not accept long term tranquilliser prescriptions.
Ask for help from a psychologist, stress counsellor, relaxation therapist,
qualified hypnotherapist or even alternative therapist.
If these do not work, you must go back to your GP for professional guidance
