There is one kind of personality so called “Type A personality”.

This was originally discovered by cardiologists.

They found their patients tend to have a common type of personality.

They called that Type A personality. This type of people tends to have heart problems and tends to die of heart failure. Scary. huh?

 

Further research found that type A people are PRONE to feel STRESSED.

They are more sensitive to stress, more responsive to stress, and therefore easily hurt by stress.

 

They also tend to have the following characteristics:

Take a look. How many of them look familiar?

 
  1. they like to compare with others; they care very much about what other people will think about them
  2. they may  like to compete with others
  3. they like to multi-task, like to work in a fast pace
  4. they don’t have much patience
  5. they have many many goals, don’t seem to know or want to set their own limits
  6. they tend to rush from one place to another (it seems time is always not enough for them)
  7. they are very alert
  8. they almost always tense and feel pressure
  9. they tend to over achieve (enjoyment comes from achievement); then to the point, someday they became not able to enjoy their achievements anymore. They tried so hard to achieve more and did not realize that they have lost their abilities to enjoy their achievements. So sad, huh?

 

Well, if these look familiar to you,

Good!!!

People have figured out some good ways might be worth a try; Applied those ways, you might reduce your stress and enhance your own health.

 

If you cannot wait for the follow up, please check out “The Stress Management Source Book” by J. Barton Cunningham. This is where the above information comes from. You probably could check it out through e-library and read it on your computer or whatever.

 

Or, if you have patience, you could wait of course…..

 

(maybe) To be continued…..
