Tim’s CornerDealing With Stress :)
How’s yourstress level? Is it anunderstatement tosay that learning to
manage stress and cope withwhatever life throws at us is achallenge? A long time ago, Iheard two different examples thatwere helpful. They resonated withme. See if they do for you whatthey did for me.
A lecturer raised a glass of waterand asked a tricky question, “Howheavy is this?” Most attempted toguess the actual weight. Theteacher said, “The absolute weightdoesn’t matter...it depends on howlong you try and hold it.” I caneasily hold it for a minute. If Ihold it for one hour, I might havea sore arm. But if I try and hold itfor a day, I might have a majormedical issue. In each case, it’s thesame weight but the longer I hold it,the ‘heavier’ it becomes. I’m sureyou get the point: dealing withstress is no different. The longerwe hang onto stress, the heavier itbecomes. And before long it eatsus alive and we find ourselvesheaded down an emotionallydestructive path. Stress is like theglass of water. We have to put itdown and rest for a while beforepicking it up again. Oncere-charged and refreshed, we carry
on.The late Peter Marshall once
wrote about a sign he encounteredwhile driving through the lovelyScottish highlands. He rounded abend and came across a sign thatdeclared: ‘Beware of FallingRocks’. He concluded that signwas not ‘healthy’, as it shouldhave read: ‘Beware of FallenRocks’. Peter highlighted the hugedifference between ‘falling’ and‘fallen’. Too many of us wasteemotional energy, looking for ‘falling’rocks (i.e. worrying about what mighthappen) versus dealing positivelywith those vicissitudes that actuallycome into our lives. As kids, all of usheard that worry can bedestructive but as adults, too oftenwe allow it to consume andparalyze us.
The message: try not to hangonto that heavy ‘glass of water’and resist worrying about what‘rocks’ might fall out of the sky!Although that is easier said thandone, don’t you agree that it issound advice? As the dog days ofsummer descend upon us, it’s agood time to take a breather, setaside worry and de-stress. A greatway to help in that endeavor is toplug in to the wonderful activityofferings this month.
Hope you have a happy andhealthy August!

Healthy News for theMonth of August
Depression in Older AdultsThe changes that often come in
later life, the death of loved ones,increased isolation, and medicalproblems can lead to depression.Its effects go far beyond mood. Itimpacts your energy, sleep,appetite, and physical health.However, depression is not aninevitable part of aging.
Signs and symptoms ofdepression include: sadness,fatigue, abandoning or losinginterest in hobbies, socialwithdrawal and isolation, weightloss or loss of appetite, sleepdisturbance (difficulty fallingasleep, oversleeping, or daytimedrowsiness), loss of self-worth,increased use of alcohol or otherdrugs, fixation on death, suicidalthoughts or attempts.
Managing Depression
It is a myth to think that after acertain age you can’t learn newskills, try new activities, or makefresh lifestyle changes. The truth isthat the human brain never stopschanging, so older adults are justas capable. Overcoming ofteninvolves finding new things youenjoy, learning to adapt change,staying physically and sociallyactive, and feeling connected toyour community and loved ones.If you are depressed, you may notwant to do anything or seeanybody. But isolation andinactivity only makes depressionworse.
Older adults should focus onexercising, connecting with othersface to face whenever possible,getting enough sleep (7 to 9hours), maintaining a healthydiet, participating in activities,consider taking care of a pet,learning a new skill, and creatingopportunities to laugh.
