Stress is anything that causes a change in a person’s body. Today more than ever, changes are constant in life due to increased demands and busy schedules from living in a fast-paced society. When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating it can become harmful, causing distress (bad stress) and affecting people mentally, physically and emotionally. Research has shown that doctors say 90 percent of patients they treat have stress related illnesses. It is important for everyone from children to adults to learn how to control stress.
Stress Relief Day (SRD) is held each April in honor of National Stress Awareness Month (NASM). Its goal is to call public attention to the risks associated neglecting chronic stress. To realize this goal the organizers seek to achieve the following objectives: 1) promote effective solutions for reducing stress, especially wholistically 2) advocate for greater stress management education and improve general stress literacy 3) garner greater media coverage on the adverse impact of stress on public health 4) establish Stress Relief Day (SRD) as an annual national event.
Most of all, Stress Relief Day seeks to encourage people to make the commitment to increase their own stress management skills and take better care of themselves. All who attend will have an opportunity to learn effective ways of handling stress and make healthier lifestyle choices.
