Do you sometimes feel afraid, but can’t pinpoint what you actually fear?
Is winning a top priority in your everyday life? Do you feel guilty when leisure
activities take precedence over work? Do you feel overwhelmed or anxious all
of the time? If you answered “yes” to more than one of these questions,
you may be more vulnerable to diseases that are stress related as well as possibly
be reducing your life expectancy. Mishandling stress can diminish your quality
of life, hurt your ability to perform and break down your relationships, thereby
making you more prone to illness. The art of stress management involves keeping
yourself at a level of stimulation that is both healthy and enjoyable. Stress
is not so much what happens to you, but how you respond to it. Guests include Jennifer Tucek, Preventative Cardiology Manager at Swedish American Hospital, who organizes and teaches several stress classes at the hospital & Dr. Dawn Edwards, a clinical psychologist at Swedish American.
