“Stress can destroy much more than just our physical health. Too often, it eats away at our hope, belief, and faith.” -Charles F. Glassman: “Brain Drain: The Breakthrough That Will Change Your Life” (2009)
The word ‘stress’ was originally an engineering term. It was adopted for use as a medical term by a scientist named Hans Selye. Mr. Selye found that lab rats became sulky and sickly when he upset them by trying to catch them by cornering them and snatching at them. This activity broke down their resistance to ailments. Because no medical term for this phenomenon existed in the 1930’s, he used the word ‘stress’ to describe it.

“You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched.” -Gaius Julius Phaedrus (lived in about C.E. 1st century)
Chronic stress can cause the brain to flood with powerful hormones that are meant for short-term emergency situations. However, chronic exposure is also believed to damage, shrink, and rapidly age brain cells.

How To Handle Stress
- Take a moment, sometimes to do nothing, but even better, to do some simple task that can be done without much thought, such as cleaning a table top or putting away clean laundry.
- Talk to someone or make a plan for dealing with the situation, or better yet, do both if possible.
- Go for a walk. You will get away from your surroundings which have become a reminder of the situation, you will get some beneficial exercise, and you will get some relaxing mental stimulation from the sights and sounds and other sensations of the outdoors environment.
- Close your eyes for a few seconds and breath and relax your tense muscles.
- Drink a glass of water.

“Anxiety is the rust of life, destroying its brightness and weakening its power. A childlike and abiding trust in Providence is its best preventive and remedy.” -Tryon Edwards (1809 - 1894): as quoted in Tryon Edwards, editor: “A Dictionary of Thoughts: Being a Cyclopedia of Laconic Quotations from the Best Authors of the World, Both Ancient and Modern” (1891), page 22
During stress, eye pupils dilate, referred to as ‘mydriasis,’ to gather more visual information about a situation. This is one of the many automatic, or instinctual, actions built into us to ensure survival.

The hyper-arousal of the body’s stress response system can lead to chronic insomnia.
“The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.” -Sydney J. Harris (Sydney Justin Harris (1917 - 1986))
“When we are distressed, going outside for some fresh air, taking a walk in the park, or wandering deep into the woods quickens our attention, bringing us instantly into the present. Being outdoors provides mental space and clarity, allowing our bodies to relax and our hearts to feel more at ease. Putting ourselves in the midst of something greater than our personal dramas, difficulties and pain - as we do when we walk in the open plains, hike in rarefied mountain air, or ramble on an empty beach - can give us a sense of space and openness, lifting us out of our narrow selves. Similarly, gazing up at the vast night sky helps us see our problems and concerns with greater context and perspective. The natural world communicates its profound message: things are okay as they are; you are okay just as you are; simply relax and be present.” -Mark Coleman: “Awake in the Wild” (1 November 2006), page xv

Did you know that stress can make you fatter? Stress can make losing weight and maintaining the right weight much harder. Why? Because when we are stressed, we instinctively eat more foods and foods high in calories in order to build up our energy, including our energy reserves that are stored as body fat, to be prepared for action. Unfortunately, these days there isn’t much action of the sort we were programmed for long ago, such as running from animals that want to eat us, or running to catch animals we want to eat. But there is good news! Laughing actually reduces stress, so get out there and do some serious laughing. Laughing allows people to live well and be healthier by handling stress better.

Stress Management
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, “How heavy is this glass of water?” Answers called out ranged from 20 grams to 500 grams.
The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
He continued, “And that’s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on. As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we’re refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.”
“So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you’re carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you’ve rested.”
“Enjoy your life!”
