It might be time to take a break.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no denying it. Stress can wear you down mentally and can have a physical impact on your body. It\u2019s linked to high blood pressure, poor sleep, low energy, headaches and a weakened immune system.<\/p>\n<p>The first step to controlling your stress is recognising the symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re not sleeping well<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sleep is a fickle mistress. Anyone who has ever had trouble sleeping will know the frustration felt in the wee hours of the morning as you lie awake staring at the ceiling. You\u2019ve lost count of the number of coffees you\u2019ve bought.<\/p>\n<p>A lack of sleep can lead to an impaired memory which in turn, can affect your performance at work or school. Tiredness is also linked to lifestyle habits considered unhealthy which can lead to increased blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re missing out on necessary sleep, do yourself a favour and take some time off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re struggling to concentrate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Distraction is all too common when you\u2019re burnt out. Take frequent breaks to give your brain the opportunity to recharge. It\u2019ll allow your mind to absorb more information and work more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Everything is becoming a bit too much<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s definitely healthy to acknowledge and process your emotions, sometimes things can push you to breaking point. However important that deadline is, take the time to check in on your mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Talk to your teachers, bosses, parents, friends, doctor or pharmacist about the best way to manage your stress levels. They can help you take the necessary steps to taking some time out. Your pharmacist will also help you manage the physical symptoms of stress.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stress is linked to high blood pressure, which can be indicative of further health concerns. A quick and painless blood pressure evaluation test at your local <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsthechemist.com.au\/health-services\/blood-pressure-evaluation\/\">Blooms The Chemist<\/a> will give you peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your pharmacist will also ask some questions about your lifestyle. This will help gauge your potential risk. They will also help you understand what the numbers mean and give you advice on how to have a happy and healthy 2020.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Presented in partnership with Blooms The Chemist.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t<!-- Start of Brightcove Player -->\n\t\t\t\t<!-- End of Brightcove Player -->\n\t\t\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presented in partnership with Blooms The Chemist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":36445,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[201],"tags":[],"geo_market":[],"class_list":["post-39019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
