After attending our Stress Reduction Clinic Jane M said, "(I have learnt) how important it is to build in time during the working day to invite myself to relax."
Are you ready to understand how stress may be affecting your personal and professional life?
"I think I spend a lot of time being stressed without realising it and therefore being stressed to some extent is the norm (sadly)." (A.W)
Unfortunately, being stressed is the norm. Yes, there are good stressors which enable us to achieve and stretch our boundaries. Yet, bad stress is becoming an ever increasing problem.
The more we become used to stress in our life; the sort that worries about paying the bills, having enough food to eat, keeping a job and staying healthy, all this worry takes a toll on our body and mind in the longer term.
Through learning how to de-stress and worry well, you are supporting health in body and mind.
Yes, some stress can motivate you to achieving more. Too much stress, however, can have a negative impact on your mind, body and spirit.
The stress response in our bodies doesn't just respond to physical danger, it also responds to psychological threats, like the hassles and pressures of everyday life. It can lead to overeating, alcoholism, smoking, drug abuse. It can also raise blood pressure, and be a contributory factor of heart attacks and insomnia.
Chronic stress can affect our emotions too. We can become easily irritated, frustrated and experience mood swings. Too much stress can rewire the brain to be more vigilant for danger, thus creating more anxiety and worry.
You may even experience overwhelm, or difficulty relaxing and quietening the mind.
It can be easy to want to blame another person or a situation for our stress levels. We may feel that the stress we are experiencing is out of our control. This can lead us to feel disconnected to others, and even to ourselves. We may no longer love or like ourselves. We may not even trust ourselves to make the right choices for us.
