You're going to hear a radio program about stress management, listen carefully and supply the missing information.
Good morning, and welcome to Talk of the Day.
Do you often find that you're trying to accomplish more in a day than is humanly possible?
Do you have trouble falling asleep at night because you can't stop thinking about yesterday's activities or planning tomorrow's?
Do you find yourself spending too much time at work without enough time for leisure activities?
Today our topic is stress and how to manage it, tell us about the level of stress in your life and how you cope with it or call us with your questions.
With us to help answer some of the questions you may have is doctor Elizabeth Sander, a medical doctor and writer of a best-selling book on stress management.
She has also conducted numerous workshops designed to teach people how to identify and prevent stress.
Good morning, doctor Sander, and thank you for joining us today. Thank you for having me.
Doctor Sander, before we take our first call, perhaps you can just tell us what exactly we mean by stress. We hear the word being used so much today. What is stress?
Yes, that's a very good question. Actually, stress can be either a physical or psychological response, or both, to the demands that we're placing on ourselves.
And increased level of stress affects us physically by producing certain changes in the body such as increased heart or breathing rate, dilation of the pupils, or our blood pressure and sugar level can go up. These are normally responses that designed to help us. For example, when we in danger.
But which under other circumstances, for example, when we have a deadline to meet for a project at work, don't really benefit us.
Psychologically, we respond to these demands by becoming nervous, irritable, depressed or even angry.
Yes, it seems these days we are constantly listening to each other complain about being stressed out and feeling a variety of these responses which you've just mentioned.
