Understanding stressStress is the result of internal and external factors that have an impact on your entire being: body and mind. Everyone reacts differently to stress – and stress can be positive, neutral or negative. There are certain internal factors that determine how you respond to stress. These include:
Your entire body can be affected by stress including your brain and nerves, skin, muscles and joints, heart, stomach, pancreas, intestines and reproductive system. Stress helps us adapt to different environments including hot and cold temperatures, different altitudes, physical threats, wild animals and other dangers. Stress becomes harmful onces it displaces the internal harmony and disrupts our steady-state internal system. When we are threatened we experience a fight or flight response which disrupts our internal homeostasis. The adrenal glands start releasing powerful neurotransmitters into the blood stream which results in a higher heart rate, rapid breathing and heightened awareness. Being in this state for too long and too often damages the body. Signs and symptoms of stressToo much unhealthy stress shows up on various physical, mental or emotional ways, including:
