Lesson Eight How to Reduce Stress, Anxiety and Worry参考译文如何减轻压力、焦虑和烦恼[1] 说起来可能令人惊讶,但生活中就是需要压力。
权威的压力问题专家说,生活没有压力便会单调乏味,缺少刺激。
压力会给生活增添色彩、挑战和机遇。
然而,过多的压力会严重地影响人的身心健康。
在当今充满压力的世界中,一个主要的挑战就是要使生活中的压力为人服务而非与人为难。
[2] 在当今繁忙、快节奏的世界里,压力总是伴随着我们。
精神或情感活动以及体力活动都可产生压力。
太多的情感压力导致身体生病,诸如高血压、溃疡病、哮喘、过敏性结肠炎、头痛,甚或心脏病。
而另一方面,由工作或运动引起的体力上的压力却很少导致诸如此类的疾病。
实际上,体育锻炼能帮助人放松,并处理精神或情感上的压力问题。
[3] 医学博士汉斯·赛利是这一领域的公认的专家,他把压力解释为一种“对身体某一需求的非特异性反应”。
减轻压力的关键是要明白我们的躯体如何对那些需求做出反应。
如果压力持续时间较长或特别是人沮丧,那会变得非常有害---引起痛苦或“严重的紧张感”。
如果能识别这种痛苦的初期征兆并对其采取措施,会使人的生活质量得到显著的改观。
[4] 为了从积极的方面利用压力,防止其变为痛苦,人们应该知道自己对造成压力的事情由什么样的反应。
人体对压力的反应是经过一定阶段的:(1)惊恐,(2)抵制,(3)疲乏。
肌肉紧张,血压和心律升高,肾上腺素及其他由血压引起的、增高戒备水平的激素便释放出来。
如果引起压力的情况继续下去的话,人体便需要时间来修复了。
如果那样的话,最后可能出现于压力有关的疾病,诸如周期性偏头痛、高血压、后背痛或失眠。
这就是为什么当压力出现时识别它并积极的对付它是重要的。
[5] 虽说人活着不可能完全没有压力和烦恼,但避免某些烦恼及在回避不了烦恼时尽量减少它的影响确实可能的。
美国社会保健及福利部建议用下列方法来克服压力。
