Coping with stress Julie Cascio, University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service, Mat-Su District Life’s ups and downs happen! Last summer’s warmth inspired enjoying our lakes, trails, gardening, hunting – all kinds of fun experiences. In the MatSu Valley, earthquakes, wild fires, flooding, and now the changes brought on by the pandemic have been Julie Cascio occurring. How we handle, or don’t handle, stressful situations affects our lives. Stress is the body’s reaction to the changing demands of life. Stress motivates us to get things done! Happy life events (such as having a baby, getting a new job) and negative events (such as death of a loved one, divorce, emergency situations, or financial difficulties) can cause stress.

demic emergency. Staying at home to work or do school with others around may mean lots of distractions. Or may be more noise. This makes it hard to concentrate on work or homework. Getting up to get a drink of water may show chores that need to be done in the house. Focusing on work may make others in the home feel neglected. The inability to spend time with other family or friends may cause loneliness or the guilt of not helping. Yikes! Stress can impact us physically and emotionally. Physical response to stress can delay the body healing or lead to ulcers or high blood pressure. Excessive crying, anxiety and anger are some emotional symptoms of the impact of stress. In the Montana State University Extension publication “Understanding and Managing Stress” Dr. Sandra Bailey writes that finding positive ways to manage or cope with stress is essential to overall health. There are a variety of activities that can reduce stress. Some may do yoga to relax while others choose to ride a snowmachine. Activities may only take a few minutes; others may take a few hours or an entire day. There are a variety of ideas for reducing
