Today’s women are continuously under pressure. They try to keep their children from killing themselves or each other; they are working full time and still trying to get dinner on the table; they are trying to find a while in there for a social life that is made up of more than a date to the grocery store with their husbands. Stress seems to most people like a normal part of life. But it doesn’t have to be.
Time crunch
It is an oft-lamented fact that there are only 24 hours in a day in which we can get things done. Like it or not, those are the hours we have to work with, and there is no use wishing for additional. According to Robert Leahy, Ph.D., author of The Worry Cure, "Time pressure is almost always artificially created, and a lot of people never notice the things that go undone." Don’t be concerned about the unmade bed or the sink full of dishes. In ten years, those tiny details will not matter.
The face in the mirror
Worry about your appearance is an enormous factor in a woman’s anxiety amounts. You can help alleviate some of this, though, by following the advice of Julien Farel, a New York City hairstylist. She suggests, "A shaggy style with a lot of layers, or any short haircut [like a bob with bangs] are the very best styles for a low-maintenance and flattering look.†You can still look your best, but it doesn’t have to take an hour to get there.
Stuff that doesn’t matter
Anxiety will never entirely go away, and that is as it should be. Pressure and that sense of tension is what helps push us through to the end of big projects or gives us that adrenaline rush that can spark off good ideas. Just don’t stress about the stuff that doesn’t matter. You can live by the maxim, “This too, hall pass.â€
