The Trigger Stand

It is a pleasure to participate in this contest by @helengutier2 in this community. I am always happy to share my knowledge on health related topics and being around the elderly has helped me understand stress very well.

_{Working under stress}

Stress refers to the body natural response to physical, mental or emotional demands. The most common causes or stress include; work related, financial problems, Over thinking and some other factors.
Effects of stress; headaches, fatigue, anxiety, anger, irritability and so many others.

On a physical level stress tends to show forth as headache fatigue and so many others, most of which originate from physical activities and otherwise. Physical activities may include work-related activities; most times I over work myself into getting things done which may be as a result of procrastinating it at the first, then due to emergency I feel I should get it done quickly when it had over packed and it becomes an issues.
Other times the stress shows forth as fatigue; meaning extreme tiredness, I will like to state an example, during my secondary school days I do not see reading daily as a necessity, I only read when exam is around the corner then I hurriedly want to go through my books most times along the way I get tired with swollen eyes and end up not understanding a thing that I read. This used to have negative impact on my results and it made me change my attitude.

_{Relieving stress}

What I do to minimize this ailments for headaches, taking a little paracetamol did go a long way to calm me down but most times this headache led to fever and me having a breakdown.
For the fatigue, I did use to leave my books go play some games, take a work and others.
But I'll strictly say that this did just little to minimize the ailments but as time went on I realized that the only way to reduce this is to stop procrastination as it help to reduce most work load.

My suggestions to those undergoing any form of stress on how to manage it, I'll suggest to all those who are stressed at most times take a long break to cool off, play some games and talk someone.
In order to fully manage stress please stop doing what causes stress; things like over thinking, procrastination, and others; try taking good sleep and have fun times.
I will also advise them to know that there are things beyond our control and those things within our control. Know the one you can control and work with it, the ones you can not control do not try to because it will also lead to stress.

Prioritise your health, stress can lead to serious health problems. I am sure no body wants to spend their time in the hospital or with a therapist so avoid such.

I would love to invite my friends @josepha @bossj23 and @mbetobongluke to participate in this contest.
