The DR.’s Show Said It’s So

I just put on the TV as I was making my breakfast and the show that was on is called The Dr.’s. I’ve watched bits and pieces of this show before as I prepared breakfast in the past, but I had to sit down and listen to them when I heard them talking about the ‘S’ word………STRESS!

And I have to say I was excited when they said 4 things that people can do/use to alleviate stress (some of which may sound familiar to you).

Here they are:

• Deep Breathing
• Writing: AKA, Journaling
• Meditation and
• Aromatherapy!

You know I was happy after hearing this . They said there have been studies done showing that all these help to relieve stress and stress causes changes in every inch of our body (not good changes) that can affect our health (not in good ways). Of course, like one of the doctors said, we do have healthy levels of stress which allow us to move on our actions, get up, go to work and motivate us, but it’s when the stress creeps up to an ‘unhealthy’ level – which is usually the case in the majority of situations – that stress can cause unwanted problems.

That show has now become one of my favorites (at least that episode!) .

What do you think about what the Dr.’s have to say? Do you do any of those 4 things and have they helped?
