Feeling Stressed?

Stressed?

Stress seems easier to muster than relaxation in todays world. So do you feel stressed? Anxious or even bogged down? If so you are not alone.

Fight & Flight

We live in a society where multi-tasking has become the norm. We are expected to do more than traditional roles once stated, leaving a lot of us trying to fit the tights of either Superman or Wonder Woman – a hard task! As a society we also wish to have all the things which require a great deal of commitment financially, as well as having to juggle family & their needs. The problem is that we were not designed to effectively handle multiple stresses at the same time, with a mind-body system which is still as it was for our prehistoric forefathers. Whether stress is from a positive or negative source, your body reacts the same & seeks fight or flight. In short our bodies cannot differentiate between a T-Rex trying to eat us & the snarl up on the motorway.

Is Stress Bad?

In small quantities, no it is a positive driving force. Appropriate stress keeps us motivated & focused.

Too much stress, however is not a good thing. It can & often does lead to physical symptoms. We can also eat, drink & smoke more due to stress, which has other obvious detrimental factors. Severe stress can lead to hypertension (high blood pressure), depression & even strokes & heart attacks.
