Anxiety – The Modern Stress For Professional Women
Modern life is stressful. In small quantities, stress is good — it can motivate us and help us be more productive.
However, too much stress, or a strong response to stress, is harmful. It can set us up for general poor health as well as a specific physical or psychological illnesses like infections, heart disease, or depression. Persistent and unrelenting stress often leads to anxiety and an unhealthy lifestyle. Anxiety is perhaps one of the most common emotions experienced when a person is stressed. Anxiety is a form of stress that we all want to avoid.
The lives of the majority of professional women and female entrepreneurs today are out of balance. And this imbalance is a reasonable source of stress. And stress feeds anxiety. And anxiety feeds stress.
Let’s look at an example of how stress overload and lifestyle factors can contribute to anxiety.
Lets say you work 70 hours a week for several years. This puts excessive stress on your body. To make matter worse, you are so busy working that you only manages to get five or six hours of sleep a night, you do not exercise regularly, and you eat mainly fast food. You cant even remember the last time you took time out for yourself.
Sounds familiar?
Your unhealthy lifestyle creates stress in your life and produces a negative snowball effect.
Over time your body starts perceiving these constant stressors as a threat to your survival. Your body eventually gets "burned out" from repeated unnecessary stress reactions. It is on a constant state of alert – contributing to the physical and mental symptoms of anxiety.
Can You change it? Yes.
You have the power to reduce or eliminate many of the stressors in your life and consequently reduce anxiety.
