A. RELAX. What ever you did know you tried your best. You should've tried as hard as you could during the exam and the interview. If all goes well then its your luck. If its not then its not the end of the world. You'll always get anothre chance as long as you try and never give up.

What is the difference between stress lines and premature wrinkles?
Q. I have three clear lines across my head which have been due to chronic stress. they have been going and getting worser for two weeks now. two people have mentioned that stress lines come and go when the stress goes, my stress is ongoing. i can't however find anything online abut 'stress lines' which makes me wonder if there is such a thing. Can someone show me where i can read up on stress lines because the only things i find are facial lines and wrinkles both of which can be caused by stress but are permanant, not temporary.

A. Some people are born more suseptable to stress than others. Others, seem to become stressed from problems they are now facing. I would say that people in the corporate world, people in bad relationships, teens, parents of teens, and working moms with infants have a lot to stress over. Not to mention people who are prone to anxiousness to start with. Exercise is a good stress reliever--even walking can help. Punching something like a pillow (not a person or wall) can help. In my family we yell and scream (but do not hit). I understand that B vitamins help--but check to see which ones and how much of each to take.

What's the difference between regular stress and chronic stress?
Q. If there is 1 thing that is constantly stressing you out, let's say, you're unemployed for 6 months, then you have chronic stress? So when you find a job, you no longer have chronic stress? So chronic is a time factor? I'm always stressed about the amount of $$ I make, and that I have no friends or a boyfriend. Do I have a chronic stress?

How do I motivate myself to exercise in times of stress?
Q. I'm a runner, and I know that running relieves stress for me. However lately I've been very stressed out and depressed and I can't seem to get myself out of this slump and start running so I can relieve this stress. It's become a vicious cycle. I need to run to relieve stress, but it's stress itself that's preventing me to run. How do I get that motivation?

A. Easy: Take a nice, slow stroll. No special clothes or shoes required. Just get up off the furniture, grab a visor and walk around your neighborhood, and make sure to greet your neighbors. Social contact is very important to lessening depression. Fresh air and a chat should do it. Good luck.

Q. I have developed some not exactly healthy methods to deal with stress, including smoking. I mention it because needing to have a smoke is one of the biggest indicator I'm under too much stress. Work, money, eating right, difficult people, traffic, things breaking down around the house, negative news, etc... I don't necessarily want to be able to handle more stress.

A. Exercise is a proven method of relieving stress. Regular exercise will make you less stress prone in general, and exercise after a stressful incident may help you relax. Massage is surprisingly effective too - I really recommend this myself - though it can be expensive to book a course professionally. But well worth it! And 'Chill-out' type music. I know these are all very obvious - but they do all work well.

A. Here is a list of herbs that I have found to be the best when it comes to relieving stress and helping to calm nerves: chamomile vervain peppermint linden flowers lavender flowers lemon balm All of these herbs are great tasting and stress relieving on their own, but, you can combine all of them in equal amounts, and use them as a tea. For example, I would blend 1/4 cup of any of the herbs (use a mixture of at least 2 or 3 of the herbs together for a better effect), then use 2 teaspoons of the mixture for your tea. Let the herbs steep for 5 to 10 minutes before you strain and drink it. You can make lots of great tasting teas by changing which herbs you mix together.

What are some ways to handle stress related nausea?
Q. I have had stress-related nausea for several months now. The job that I work at is in sales and it is very high stress. They fire people in front of the rest of the employees and sometimes they have unreal expectations. I find that during these times in particular I feel like I have to throw up, but I'm not able to throw up. I've tried drinking ginger ale and it doesn't seem to help at all. Drinking peppermint tea seems to help, as well as Pepto Bismol. I'd like to know, though, if there's any way to prevent this feeling sick all together without losing my job. Any suggestions?

Asked by Matt - Sun Apr 4 13:28:39 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It has been proven over and over again, it is not necessarily the amount of stress in your life that causes your life expectancy to be shortened, but how you manage the stress. There are two basic types of stress. The external stress you have little or no control over and the self inflicted type of stress that is due to your mental attitude and your diet that can cause stress that will create long term life expectancy issues. To put a number on that is not easy due to all the variables. People who eat lots of carbs, sugar, low fat diets, and incorrect fats for instance, put a tremendous stress on their bodies. Cortisol is the stress hormone. It is made in the Adrenal glands and is what our primitive ancestors used in times when lots… [cont.]

A. Try to be conscious of your breathing. Breathe with your abdomen not your chest, so when you inhale your tummy goes out, and when you exhale your tummy pushes the air up and out. Slowly in thru the nose, slowly out thru pursed lips. Let all the tension go. This is called calmative breathing. We tend to chest-breathe when we're stressed or nervous. You get a lot more oxygen when you breathe with your abs. Also be aware of your shoulders. We tend to hike them up when we're stressed. Pull them back down. Down and back. If you're sitting at a desk all the time, definitely do some stretches. Roll the shoulders slowly in big backward circles, then in forward circles.

Other choices would be Chamomile and/or Bergamot It really depends on what you personally find attractive to your personal senses. Many of my clients prefer the Lavender. Lavender can be used in an aromatherapy diffuser, or as an alternative, you can dilute Lavender in a bottle with carrier oil at a 2.5% dilution and rub this on your arms and hands. Other alternatives is adding your favorite essential oil to a bottle that contains sea salt. This makes it perfectly portable and you can take it out and take a whiff when you are feeling stressed.
