Now that a new study by the American Psychological Association has revealed that one-third of Americans are living with extreme stress and nearly half
of Americans believe that their stress has increased over
the past five years, this could be a good time to take some anti-stress action. This site, aptly named Stress-Relief-Exercises, describes several useful–you guessed it–stress relief exercises.
To enhance his readers’ stress, Geezer would like to point out some of the more horrific revelations of the APA study: Nearly half of all Americans report that stress has a negative impact
on both their personal and professional lives. About one-third (31
percent) of employed adults have difficulty managing work and family
responsibilities and 35 percent cite jobs interfering with their family
or personal time as a significant source of stress. Stress causes more
than half of Americans (54 percent) to fight with people close to them.
One in four people report that they have been alienated from a friend
or family member because of stress, with 8 percent connecting stress to
divorce or separation. Yikes!
I have always found that a good cigar and a shot of a good bourbon, straight up, does wonders. After the exercise, of course!
