Stress Counseling at Aloha Care Therapy

Stress, pressure, anxiety, all of these terms have become commonplace in today’s daily lives. Some amount of stress is good because it heightens awareness and boosts you to perform better at whatever you do. However, long-term stress when you just can’t seem to relax and let go of the pressure can have serious effects on your mental, psychological, emotional, and physical health. At the Aloha Care Therapy center, you’ll receive guidance and counseling on how to distinguish the good stress from the bad stress so you can have a better quality of life

Stress Can Cause Serious Illnesses and Disorders

Chronic stress stimulates the adrenal glands in your body to produce high levels of cortisol. When these high levels continue to circulate in your body over a long time, you’ll notice serious health issues such as:

• Diabetes
• Hypertension
• Heart trouble
• Digestive disorders
• Higher susceptibility to illnesses because of a weakened immune system
• Fatigue and body aches and pains
• Depression and anxiety
• Insomnia and other sleep disorders
• Sexual issues that ultimately lead to infertility
• Irritability
• Difficulty in concentrating on tasks and poor memory
• Appearance of signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles, and hair loss
• Headaches

These are only some of the adverse effects of stress. With therapy and expert counseling like the kind you can get at the Aloha Care Therapy clinic, you can identify the situations that are causing the stress in your life. You’ll also receive advice on how to fix the anxiety.

Learn to Identify the Causes of Stress

Every person has his or her own stress triggers. Like, for instance, a particular situation at home or a new boss or tough assignment or project at work. Many times, these triggers manifest themselves in other ways without your being aware of it. For instance, you might wake up in the morning after a good night’s sleep feeling like you’ve been up all night. Or, you may find that you have more of seasonal allergies and illnesses. Spend time with the consultants at the wellness center at Aloha Care Therapy and you’ll learn how stress from one sphere of your life has fallouts in all the others.

Stress can be Relieved with Several Strategies

You can adopt any of the stress-busting strategies that work best for you. These can include:

• Meditation
• Yoga, tai chi, or any other type of exercise that stimulates the production of serotonin, a natural stress reliever
• Deep breathing exercises
• Visual stimulation where you imagine yourself in happy places and situations
• Reading
• Listening to music
• Massage therapy
• Taking up a new hobby
• Spending time with loved ones
• Going for a walk

Lifestyle Changes Can Also Help

With the guidance of the experts of the consultants at Aloha Care Therapy, you can learn to make several lifestyle changes that will help you keep away stress. For instance, learn time management so you’re more organized or spend at least 10 minutes each day in solitude recollecting your thoughts. Sometimes, a few simple changes can help you regain good health and better emotional and psychological balance.
