Stress Management

Do You Feel Like There’s Just Not Enough Time in the Day for You? Are You Stressed and Need a Place to Rest and to Relax? Do You Want Peace and Quite?

Hello, this is Dr. Andrew Lee, your acupuncturist and physical therapist of Frisco.

“I am stressed!” “I had enough!”

Time to time I come across these comments from my friends, from random strangers in the grocery store, and unfortunately even in my house.

In this day and age, we all are flooded with responsibilities whether you are in your teens trying to fit in and do well in school, in your 20’s and 30’s working at your first job, in your 40’s and 50’s with stressful job and raising your children, and in your 60’s and 70’s trying to adjust to life after work. Through it all we are all dealing with some type of stress and most times it negatively affects our lives.

Nobody is immune from stress and how we manage and beat our stress determines how healthy we are in our mind, body, and sprit. I understand everyone’s solution is slightly different but at New Life Wellness Center of Frisco, we will provide you a place for you to reflect, to remind, and to re-charge.

For your reference, I have summarized below some of the important information on stress. I will be more than happy to talk to you over the phone or see you in person for our free discovery visit to help answer any of questions you might have in regards to how your stress is affecting your health, acupuncture, physical therapy, and acutherapy. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

What Is Stress?

Merriam-Webster has multiple definition for stress. Out of it all, I would like to highlight 2 definitions.

• a physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension and may be a factor in disease causation
• one of bodily or mental tension resulting from factors that tend to alter an existent equilibrium

In our body, if there is imbalance than trouble follows. In Acupuncture, it is all about finding our balance whether it is (hot/cold, too much/too little, right/left, and many more). It is very important to return to state of equilibrium to regain our healthy body and to avoid becoming a chronic disease. Don’t let stress control you but be in charge of your Healthy Self.
