Vitalia Active Adult Community – Solon Explores Stress and Anxiety Management

Category: Senior Living

Author: Yauntae Napoleon, Director of Wellness

Each day we go through our lives making decisions, worrying about the future, or maybe having concern about our health. It is only natural that we experience both stress and anxiety in some form at some level. Stress is defined as any demand placed on your brain or physical body, while anxiety is specified as fear, worry, or unease. Although defined differently, they are connected and share the same symptoms. Most of us experience stress, anxiety, or both at some point, whether from work or our personal life.

At Vitalia Active Adult Community – Solon we are aware of proven techniques to help ease the symptoms of stress and anxiety, including lifestyle changes, such as exercise and diet. We also know unmanaged stress and anxiety can interfere with your daily life and affect your physical and mental health.

The symptoms of stress and anxiety for me are a tightness in my throat and an elevated heart rate. Taking certain medications, caffeine, and being in conflict situations can be triggers for stress.

There are many symptoms that stress and anxiety can cause, including loss of sleep and appetite, and sudden weight loss. There are great lifestyle changes that can help to support less stress and anxiety. Many people join social groups that interest them. I have found if you take the time to collect your thoughts, it often helps in stressful situations.

Some stress and anxiety are expected, but if you feel it becoming unmanageable and affecting your daily life, a healthcare professional can help you develop new coping skills.
