4 Things you may not be aware of, that are stressing you out!
FOUR UNEXPECTED THINGS THAT MIGHT BE STRESSING YOU OUT:
When it comes to things that stress you out, there are some obvious ones like money, kids, work, and health. But there are plenty of LITTLE things that stress you out too. Here are four you might not have thought of . . .
#1.) YOUR DOG. An untrained animal can cause a lot of stress. If your dog destroys the house while you're at work, or barks all night long, it raises your general level of stress and screws with your sleep patterns.
--But don't get rid of him. Think about hiring a trainer. Statistically, people with well-behaved pets generally live longer and have less stress.
#2.) YOUR ALARM CLOCK. Some research shows that alarm clocks with blue numbers can interfere with your internal clock, and basically make you feel like you're jet lagged.
--You're also more likely to have a heart attack in the morning than any other time of the day. So loud alarm clocks that jolt you awake aren't a good idea. Look for one that starts out quiet and slowly gets louder.
#3.) FACEBOOK. Constantly hearing how great your friends are doing is fine, unless YOU'RE not doing great. If your friends are all getting married and having kids, and you're still single, it can take a toll on your self-esteem.
#4.) THE LIGHT IN YOUR BATHROOM. Fluorescent lights make every wrinkle look ten times worse. And research has even shown they increase A.D.D. symptoms in kids.
--If the light bothers you, replace the bulb with an old-fashioned incandescent one. It's a cheap and easy way to improve your self-esteem.
