Stress Post

Everybody has stress and deals with it in different ways. Some are more effective than others. 

First what is really stress?

      -"The general physical and emotional state that accompanies the stress response" (Page 25 of Health textbook).

My personal stress soother is LISTENING TO MUSIC!








All you need is a radio, Ipod, or any device that can play music and just lay down and listen to your favorite music until you are calm/not stressed out. 








This method reduces stress by:
-"influencing pulse, blood pressure, and the electrical activity of muscles"
-"leads to reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol and causes changes in electrial activity in the brain"       (Page 42 in Health textbook).
