Our body has mechanisms that were developed over millennia to deal with various stressors. For example, if a tiger is chasing you the fight-flight-freeze reaction takes over the brain and body. Today’s tigers take many forms. We have concerns for health, finances, and well-being of our loved ones. We witness wildfires, hurricanes, and political issues. Our bodies and minds respond, and we often say we are feeling the stress.
Stress is actually necessary for life and growth; however, too much stress can produce difficulties rather than growth. Reaction to an overabundance of stress creates physical and mental health issues. How does stress show up in your life? Insomnia? Anxiety? Pain?
