Stress is everywhere in our everyday life. Not only men have it, but also women and young people.
The most important reasons of stress are death, illness, exams, making money, changing jobs, ending friendships and so on. How do you know whether you have stress? Could you give your answers to the 8-question note?
| Yes | No | |
| Do you easily get angry? | ||
| Do you often sleep badly? | ||
| Do you get headaches a lot? | ||
| Do you take sleeping pills? | ||
| Do you find it difficult to relax? | ||
| Do you usually hide your feelings? | ||
| Do you smoke and drink a lot to keep quiet? | ||
| Do you find it difficult to put your heart into something? |
If you answer "Yes" to more than two of those questions, you are one of those people with stress. So what can you do about it?
Doing relaxing exercise, talking with friends and listening to light music are all usual ways to relieve stress. However, doctors now say that there are easier ways-people should laugh and smile more often.
When you laugh and smile, your body relaxes. They also say that people, especially men, should cry more often, because crying is the natural(自然的)way of relieving stress.
