Stress! Can You Relate to This Word?

I wonder if you can relate to that one word! What pictures does it bring to mind for you?

One of the most common complaints people have is that they have and they are under so much stress. I’m sure you hear this every day, I know I do! Of course they all believe that is a negative thing. This is not always the case.

Stress can actually be good for you. Some stress is normal and useful and in times of crisis or emergency it helps you act quickly or meet a deadline you may have.

However, if stress happens too often or last too long, it can be very dangerous to your health. Stress is linked to headaches, stomach upset, difficulties sleeping, back pain, moodiness, tenseness and depression.

Stress weakens your immune system making it harder for you to fight off disease and making existing health conditions worse. Over time, stress works unseen within us and harms our bodies, causing degenerative diseases, ulcers, heart disease, cancers, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and a host of other illnesses. The effect of being overweight compounds the effects of stress further harming your health. Poor nutrition and poor nutritional supplementation exacerbates this.

Stress is a matter of perception. What one person believes to be stressful may be seen as perfectly normal for someone else. How you view a situation determines how much stress it causes you, meaning only you can evaluate the amount of stress in your life and learn better ways to cope with it.

Everyone has a choice in how they react and perceive situations. It’s up to you to make the decision to make the necessary changes in your life. It really is easy enough to do, the toughest part is making the decision to actually make some changes.

You can make positive changes and decrease your stress by scheduling and prioritizing, by getting plenty of rest, eating well, drinking responsibly and not smoking, exercising, joining a yoga group or taking up meditation, learning to say no and implementing some boundaries in your life. Nourishing your cells at the cellular level is an optimal way of maintaining your health and well-being, giving you more energy and vitality and over time, healing your body from within.
