Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..WED.6/08/05

Get a yearly physical...religiously.

Don't keep putting it off. You may feel great. You may look great. (Despite your stress.) But many ailments don't walk up and tap you on the shoulder. They can progress silently, insidiously, without symptoms. So it's imperative to go for an annual checkup to ensure everything's functioning properly. And detect any trouble early on. The brief anticipation of seeing a doctor pales in comparison to the stress you carry around postponing it. (Especially if you are experiencing symptoms.) Or the satisfaction you'll enjoy getting a clean bill of health. Don't be so cavalier about this. Or vaguely remind yourself to remind yourself. Make an appointment today. You'll feel better getting it on the calendar. And off your mind. Why make yourself crazy?

Seek professional help for major stress problems.

The stress we deal with in this column is the everyday stress, the retail stress that we more or less bring on ourselves and thus have the power to eliminate ourselves. But sometimes there are major stressful events in our lives we don't have control over -- an illness, death of a loved one, marriage breakup, loss of a job, depression, abusive relationship -- that require the help of a professional therapist. In such cases, don't put off seeking assistance, or believe that everyday stress remedies are going to do the trick. There are people out there who can make an extraordinary difference in helping you get through a difficult time. Seek their counsel. Why make yourself crazy?
