It's Holiday Time!

As we approach year's end and the beginning of a brand new year ahead let"s think of ways that we can improve our overall health by using some new and some not so new methods to reduce STRESS in our lives.

 Stress contributes to many disorders such as depression and anxiety, overeating and obesity or lack of appetite and malnutrition, sleep deprivation, hypertension, and other illnesses and diseases.  Stress has become a major factor in many of our lives and, although we can not take away all the causes of stress, here are some stress relieving tips that might help:

  • Do everything in moderation
  • Say "no" more often
  • Remember that stress is an attitude
  • Work at being cheerful and optimistic
  • Develop your sense of humor
  • Stop saying negative things to yourself
  • Set priorities in your life
  • Ask for help with jobs you dislike
  • Break large tasks into bite-size portions
  • Look at problems as challenges
  • Find support from others
  • Always have a plan "B"
  • Remember you always have options
  • Have a support network of people, places, and things
  • Say something nice to someone
  • Say hello to a stranger
  • Spend time playing with a child
  • Quit trying to "fix" other people
  • Get enough sleep
  • Exercise every day
  • Recognize the importance of unconditional love
  • RELAX - you have the rest of your life to live!!

The Cancer Society of Greenville County is a local organization that provides awareness programs, educational materials and support groups to the community.  Here are programs available that offer FREE health care screenings and exams.  We encourage you to call today and let us know how we can help you or your organization with your health care needs and concerns.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours,

Kay Waters, RN, Health Educator, Cancer Society of Greenville County
