Stress Management Workshop

April 23rd, 2010 · Comments · Causes, Emirates Arthritis Foundation, Fibromyalgia, UAE

Last weekend the Emirates Arthritis Foundation held a Stress Management Workshop, and it was a lot of fun.  As people with Fibromyalgia know, stress can be a big trigger for a flare.  This stress can be physical or mental, or a combo of both.  It was really nice to hear people talking about how we can manage some of this stress, and to start listening to our bodies.  I know I can be one of the first ones, to forget to listen to my body and before I know it, I am having a major flare.  So, it was great to listen about going back to basics and start to listen to my body again.

One topic that kept coming up was remembering to breath, and relax.  I know we all breath, because if we didn’t we would not be alive any longer.  The breath that they were talking about was taking that time to listen to your breath and have some really deep breathes.   If we would remember this every time we are in a stressful situation, I bet we would not be as stressed after the event.  So a big thank you to Emirates Arthritis Foundation for the Stress Management Workshop, and reminding me to breath again.
