According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, job stress is more strongly associated with health complaints than financial or family problems

Becoming aware of the symptoms of stress is the first step to minimizing your stress!

When the body perceives a threat, the adrenal glands release stress hormones. The perceived threat can be a physical or emotional threat. When these chemicals are released they are stimulants to the brain and body to react.

Some of the body’s reactions are:


Increasing muscle tension


Increasing blood pressure


Increasing blood sugar levels


Increasing heart rate


Speeding up of metabolism


Minimizing the output of regulatory hormones


Diverting blood flow from the brain to the extremities


Increasing respiratory rate


There are numerous physical symptoms that these changes in the body can create.

Below are some examples:


Fatigue


Increase in bodily sweat


Clenched teeth


Headache


Short and shallow breathing


Palpitations of the heart


Knot in the stomach


Diarrhea


Hands shaking


Back and neck pain


Heartburn


Blushing


Eczema


Hives


Psoriasis


Trouble sleeping

The brain’s reaction to stress is what gives us our feelings of stress.

Some examples are listed below:


Nervousness


Anxiousness


Depression


Incessant mind chatter


Fearfulness


Anger


Frustration


Poor concentration


Brain in a fog


Lack of self confidence


Inability to make decisions


Poor judgment


Helplessness


Lack of control


Hopelessness


Stress has such a broad and subjective definition. It is for this reason that there may be many more Symptoms of Stress both physically and emotionally.

If you learn how to minimize your stress, it is likely that you will minimize your symptoms.

Hello my name is Karen Parsons and I am President and Founder of Successful Solutions Life Coaching. We are providers of Personal and Business Transformation solutions; we teach our Clients how to awaken to their Infinite Potential for Greatness in Life and Business! Successful Solutions Life Coaching was formed because of a deep concern I have. Stress, unhappiness and lack of meaning in the workplace has become an epidemic! Organizations are paying a very high price for this epidemic! Statistics Canada tells us that work-related stress directly affects current and long-term productivity of workers in terms of reduced work activities, disability days, absenteeism and turnover! It is estimated that the replacement cost of an entry-level employee is 30% of their annual salary up to 400% of the annual salary for a high-level employee! Progressive companies know that providing their employees with solutions for reducing stress and finding meaning in their work is no longer just a luxurious option, but a necessity if they want to improve Productivity and increase Employee Retention!
