The ability to feel stress is actually something that has been important to the survival of humanity throughout history. It is what allows us to have the energy and clarity we need at a moment's notice when we face danger. However, at the same time, that stress can be left to build and worsen until it starts to impact many parts of our lives, including our personal life, the ability to concentrate and perform well at work, and even our health. If left unchecked, stress can cause both physical and emotional illness that can show itself now or later on in our lives.
Physical symptoms of high stress can include: joint or muscle pain or cramps, indigestion, diarrhea, headaches, problems getting to sleep or staying asleep, heavy perspiration, difficulty controlling body temperature, ringing ears, nausea, and trembling. However, the symptoms of stress don't stop with the physical. Your emotional and mental health can also be harmed by excessive stressfulness in your life.
When you are feeling stressed, you are more likely to be irritable, short tempered, argumentative, overly sensitive, defensive, or withdrawn. Stress can put you at higher risk of alcoholism, drug use, and even car accidents. Furthermore, stress can cause a great deal of harm to your personal and professional relationships. In extreme cases, it can even give you thoughts of suicide.
If you are suffering from some of the symptoms of having too much stress in your life, then it is important to your health and your lifestyle that you learn effective stress management techniques. You may want to start with a trip to the doctor to ensure that the symptoms you are feeling are actually stress related and aren't an indication of some other problem that should be treated differently. However, if stress is the causal factor then stress management is the key to regaining control of your life - before things get worse.
Proper stress management means learning the techniques that you need to develop a much more stress-free lifestyle. The impacts of this kind of outlook are astounding and impact every part of your life. Even the most rudimentary alterations to your overall way of performing your routine can change the way you feel pressures from the world around you.

Heartbroken Can I Get My Ex Boyfriend Back
If you’ve just been through a breakup, you’re probably wondering, ‘Can I get my ex boyfriend back?” at least several times a day. Every relationship is different, so every break up is different. But there are some things you can do to help get him back.
Be nice.
That might go without saying, but some people think nagging is the best way to get what they want. It’s not. If you nag, complain or act unpleasant, you’re just reminding him of things he wants to get away from. If you make things uncomfortable every time you see him, he’ll only want to see you less and less.
The last thing you want to do is drive him farther away. Be as pleasant as you can whenever you’re around him, unless the only way to do so is to be absolutely fake.
If you’re wondering, can I get my ex boy friend back by pretending to be this way or that way? Then you have to wonder why you want to be back with him anyway. You might be better off finding someone who doesn’t make you need to pretend.
If you can be pleasant, then whatever problems you had before the breakup probably don’t seem nearly as important now. You might find yourself wondering why you weren’t more pleasant when you were together.
You can’t change the past, but do remember that later when you’re back together. Point it out to him, and let him know that you did take him for granted. He probably took you for granted too, but don’t expect him to admit it now.
Some other things you might be thinking of trying could either be disastrous or they could work in your favor.
Can I get my ex boyfriend back if he has a girlfriend?
This is probably the hardest situation to overcome. Not only is it difficult to be alone with him if he has someone else, he’s focused on the new relationship. You’re part of the past, and not a priority. Being nice right now is crucial. You have to make him see how wonderful you are and how much he’s missing.
Can I get my ex boyfriend back by trickery?
No matter what kind of deception you’re thinking of, even if it doesn’t seem harmful—forget it now. Even the most innocent-seeming lie or exaggeration could backfire later. What’s the point of figuring out how to get him back only to lose him a little while later because he finds out about your dishonesty?
Can I get my ex boyfriend back by making him jealous?
It’s possible, but it could also backfire and make him think you’ve moved on. If you really feel the need to date, then do so if you need that to be happy.
But if you’re considering going out with someone just to make your ex jealous, that’s not really fair to your date, or you. Games like this usually don’t work. Be honest with yourself and others, and you stand a better chance of getting back together with your ex.
These are just the beginning steps in winning your Ex back. They are the initial steps I followed when I lost the love of my life. And frankly these aren't my original ideas. I turned to T 'Dub' Jackson when I had no idea of how to get my true love back.
T 'Dub' authored a simple, down to earth step by step plan called "The Magic Of Making Up". And you know, it worked like magic for us. Now we are more in love than ever.

Best Ways to Burn Belly Fat
I often get asked, “What’s the best way to burn fat and lose my belly?” People want to know if aerobics is better than strength training, or if traditional cardio exercise is better than intervals.
Well, to say I've done them all would be an understatement.
With over 15 years experience helping others, training myself, training for sports, spending countless hours in the gym, AND actually conducting laboratory research studies on different exercise methods, I'm pretty confident in knowing what works and what does not.
But first of all, I want to frame my responses. I'm going to talk about what works for people that have a limited amount of time to exercise, mostly because I expect your readers don't have 90 minutes per day to devote to a workout, unlike the typical audience of a fitness magazine.
That's why there is a huge disconnect between some of the information found in magazines and the ability of the reader to apply it to their lives.
We just don't have 6-8 hours per week for exercise, nor do we need it. If you're a triathlete, you might need that, but not someone that just wants to lose fat and gain muscle.
Having said all that, the bottom line for getting a better body is...
Use bodyweight exercises to warm-up, strength training supersets to build muscle, and then finish your workout with interval training to burn fat in a short amount of time. I've structured my system so that you are in and out of the gym in 45 minutes, three times per week.
You'll do 5 minutes of bodyweight exercises to warm-up. This is a much more efficient approach than spending 5 minutes walking on a treadmill, which really doesn't prepare you for anything except more walking on a treadmill.
Then we move into the strength training supersets, where we use two exercises performed back to back with minimum rest between each. This cuts our workout time, while still giving us maximum results. We only need 20 minutes for this, and we'll use basic exercises, and sometimes even more bodyweight exercises, depending on the client's goal for muscle building.
And finally, we'll do 18 minutes of interval training. A warm-up, followed by six short intervals at the appropriate fitness level for the client, interspersed with short periods of low-intensity recovery. Finish with a cool-down. And that's the workout. Again, about 45 minutes total.
Compare that to what most people do, which is run, jog, cycle or use the cardio machines for 45 minutes straight. Sure, that will burn calories, but it doesn't build a better body.
In fact, there are a few "dark sides" to long slow cardio, including less-than-optimal results, the potential for overuse injuries, and it is an inefficient form of exercise. If you only have 30-45 minutes for your workout and you spend it all on a cardio machine, when are you going to train the rest of your muscles and sculpt a better body?
So the best way to burn belly fat is with a combination of strength training and interval training. It’s fast, it works, and it’s fun!
