Types of Stress Stressors can be either external or internal. External stressors such as traffic jams, a death in family, or a financial hardship, are often out of our direct control. Internal stressors on other hand develop through our own personality traits and emotions. It is our ability to handle these internal and external stressors that determines amount of stress we feel we have. Chemical substances such as alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, sugar, additives, drugs, and environmental toxins, put a further strain on body and are further sources of stress. Recognizing Stress Physical signs of stress include dryness in throat and mouth, tightened muscles in neck shoulders and back, chronic neck and back pain, headaches or migraines, digestive disorders, shaking, muscle tics, sleep disorders, and fatigue. Mental symptoms of stress include difficulty concentrating, depression, pessimism, anxiety, or feelings of hopelessness. Tobacco, alcohol, and drug use can also be signs of stress. Are You Stressed?

Weight Loss Tip: If you feel hunger coming on, don’t try to put it out of your mind. Rather, think about what healthy treat you are about to enjoy! Make Exercise Fun! If there is any one word that could inspire as much or more fear than word “DIET” it is probably “EXERCISE.” But exercise does not and should not have to involve hours at gym or arduous time spent in a mindless, painful routine. People who are successful at achieving weight loss, and making it permanent, have usually found a way to make exercise a fun part of their daily activities. If you want to achieve your weight loss goals, you need to incorporate exercise into your day. And don’t be discouraged if you don’t think exercise could be fun. It’s easy to make exercise so fun that you’ll look forward to doing it every day. Weight Loss Tip: Exercise with a friend, listen to music you love, or enjoy stress relieving qualities of fresh air on a brisk walk. Think about activities you enjoy and incorporate them into your exercise routine. There are even exercises you can do while watching TV! Don’t Give Up Or Give In The first thing you need to realize about losing weight is that there will be days when you simply do not want to do it. You will want to eat what you want and skip exercise for day. Stay committed to your goals through these tough times. Remind yourself of any small accomplishments you’ve made already and weight loss goals you will eventually achieve. And don’t fall for latest weight loss schemes. Weight loss takes time, but goal is permanent. Short cuts will not get you and keep you where you want to be. Weight Loss Tip: Look at these changes as a way to get and stay healthy while achieving permanent weight loss. Stay focused on your goals and keep a positive attitude about your progress. Weight loss is not easy. But that doesn’t mean that it can’t be fun! Enjoy your life to fullest by taking care of yourself, eating delicious wholesome foods and making exercise an enjoyable part of your day! To order Slimirex visit http://www.slimirex.com.
