Stress Management Reduction

Stress is a natural part of our lives. Stress is what keeps us motivated, allows our bodies and minds to grow. But stress can also be debilitating. It is essential to have a healthy balance between stress and relaxation. Unfortunately, too many people don’t put themselves first, leading to mental/emotional and physical symptoms.

Stress creates a hormone response that can lead to a flight or fight state, also known as a sympathetic state. When you are stressed, whether physical or emotional, your body responds the same way as if you are running from a lion. Running from a lion should be quick, so therefore, during that time, hormones signal your body to increase blood sugar and energy production, decrease the immune system, turn off the digestive system, and not let you fall asleep. Once you get away from the lion, then your body can calm down and go back to a resting and digesting state, also known as a parasympathetic state. Unfortunately, we deal with stress daily, leading to a chronic sympathetic state.
