Modern life is stressful. In small quantities, stress is good — it can motivate us and help us be more productive.
However, too much stress, or a strong response to stress, is harmful. It can set us up for general poor health as well as a specific physical or psychological illnesses like infections, heart disease, or depression. Persistent and unrelenting stress often leads to anxiety and an unhealthy lifestyle. Anxiety is perhaps one of the most common emotions experienced when a person is stressed. Anxiety is a form of stress that we all want to avoid.
The lives of the majority of professional women and female entrepreneurs today are out of balance. And this imbalance is a reasonable source of stress. And stress feeds anxiety. And anxiety feeds stress.
Let’s look at an example of how stress overload and lifestyle factors can contribute to anxiety.
Lets say you work 70 hours a week for several years. This puts excessive stress on your body. To make matter worse, you are so busy working that you only manages to get five or six hours of sleep a night, you do not exercise regularly, and you eat mainly fast food. You cant even remember the last time you took time out for yourself.
Sounds familiar?
Your unhealthy lifestyle creates stress in your life and produces a negative snowball effect.
Over time your body starts perceiving these constant stressors as a threat to your survival. Your body eventually gets "burned out" from repeated unnecessary stress reactions. It is on a constant state of alert – contributing to the physical and mental symptoms of anxiety.
Can You change it? Yes.
You have the power to reduce or eliminate many of the stressors in your life and consequently reduce anxiety.
How ?
Take Action:
- Set up the basics via integrating healthy lifestyle habits into your busy life.
- Make choices that promote calmness, self-care, and a balanced lifestyle.
- Sleep eight hours instead of six (You could find useful to support healthy sleep patterns with soothing relaxing music and natural remedies ).
- Eat well-balanced, healthy meals.
- Work 40-50 hours a week instead of 70.
- Use herbs for anxiety.
- Learn to view stressors in a less anxious way so your body does not overreact to stressors when they occur.

Congratulations on embracing Islam and may Allah SWT bless you in this world and the next.
Please ask this question in the Ramadan section, where there are many sisters who can answer it for you.
A ship has to be run tight and the captain must sometime dicipline the sailors if they get out of line.
If the captain does not dicipline the sailor, it takes the risk of mutiny or even the sinking of the ship.
A marriage is like a ship and its better to have dicipline now than to sink it later (divorce). Not all styles of dicipline are physical some are emotional. But a (reasonable) spanking have never really hurt anyone except in the ego.
is there sex in this? the stamped for adults like man hunt or something, rare for those
Hey, I read that a few weeks ago. The novel does exactly that–stereotype genders–to make a point about women's rights, movements of which were growing in that era. Note the "flappers" of the 1920s, shortening hem lines, and women's rights and equality movements (19th Amendment for the suffrage of women in 1920). Google searches would really help here. Hurston wants to show that women had feelings, emotions, dreams, and ambitions, too, so she takes the stereotypical oppressed woman (Janie) and the stereotypical holier-than-thou man (Jody) and juxtaposes them to show that the oppressed woman is actually a lot more of a human being with purpose and abilities than the man who acts lofty but is actually completely insecure under all that bravado. Then she introduces and later takes away Tea Cake to enforce the idea that a woman can not only attain her desired means of life, but also have to literally give it up and still be able to be strong, content, and independent.
If the husband has his wife's permission to set rules and apply punishments, then it is not degrading. She has accepted that he has this authority, and he understands his responsibility to use that authority with compassion. Discipline does not degrade the willing. It makes them feel loved, nurtured, and protected.
Would I be a part of this? Yes, and have happily done so for a long time. My partner and I have been boyfriend and girlfriend since we were thirteen, and even then she was wrapped around my little finger. Starting out I was like a big brother, which naturally evolved over time into "Daddy" and from there, recently, to Master. All the time, my job remained the same: to nurture, encourage, protect, and lead to the best of my ability. The only thing that changed was the depth and degree of control.
My partner respects my authority, is willingly receptive to my power over her, and is happiest when under my thumb. She doesn't just deserve discipline. Sometimes she *needs* to be disciplined. Sometimes discipline comes in the form of pain, sometimes humiliation… and often both at the same time. Even though discipline sometimes makes her cry, it also makes her feel safe and loved. I often hold her close afterwards, and gently explain why I felt she deserved punishment.
Though she is a brilliantly intelligent adult, and fully capable of being very successful on her own, part of her will always be the "inner child" responding to my "inner parent." When I take hold of her and tell her she is mine, it does not make her stiffen in indignation. Her response is a soft, husky "yes," her breath catches, her eyes soften, and she melts into my arms.
I am her Daddy, her Master, and her Owner. If others cannot recognize the love in this, then there is no way I can explain it.
A girl with no self-confidence…or who doesn't mind you sleeping around…whether it is for "spiritual desire" or not.
