"Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. When you sense danger – whether it’s real or imagined – the body's defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction, or the stress response. Chronic stress can significantly affect many of the body's immune systems, as can an individual's perceptions of, and reactions to, stress. "
"When we are stressed the following can happen:
- Blood pressure rises
- Breathing becomes more rapid
- Digestive system slows down
- Heart rate (pulse) rises
- Immune system goes down
- Muscles become tense"
There are other ways of relieving stress. "Manage Your Time.... One of the greatest sources of stress is over-commitment or poor time management. Plan ahead. Make a reasonable schedule for yourself and include time for stress reduction as a regular part of your schedule. Get Physical... Physical activity plays a key role in both reducing and preventing the effects of stress. Take Care of Your Body... Healthy eating and adequate sleep fuel your mind as well as your body. Avoid consuming too much caffeine and sugar."
Recognizing when you are stressed is the key to taking control.
