STRESS MANAGEMENT, WORK AND FAMILY BALANCE - RIGHT APPROACHES TO TACKLE FAMILY LIFE AND WORK
The present life and work run behind the money without understanding the actual value of self-satisfaction. Education and vast opportunities open the door for talented and skilled people. Nowadays, nuclear families are raised at a significant level due to work and financial needs. People are stressed about maintaining family as well as position. This paper investigates how one can avoid stress and tension and how to balance life in the working environment and familial situation. Stress can originate from various sources, such as employment, finances, relationships, and other factors. However, it can also arise internally within the body due to illnesses or inflammation. These anxiety-inducing occurrences trigger the activation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis. Upon experiencing stress, our initial response may be a surge of energy. This is because cortisol provides the power to evade predators or combat sickness and inflammation. Excessive stress can lead to an imbalance in cortisol levels, resulting in a sensation of being over stimulated or tired. You can assess your cortisol levels with a convenient at-home test. Subsequently, as time elapses, we begin to experience fatigue. This is because our bodies are naturally programmed to receive short bursts of energy to pursue our next meal or escape from a lion. However, in our contemporary society, we face persistent and long-lasting stress that gradually depletes our energy and resilience. This can have a profound impact on our mental and physical well-being. Furthermore, we may require a stress detoxification process to eliminate the accumulated stress hormones and restore the optimal functioning of our bodies.
