STRESS

There are two categories of stress : 

External stressors are those sources of stress that you have an awareness of, like work or financial pressure, even trauma experiences of life. 

Internal stressors are the sources of stress that are inside us and we are not always as aware of them, and they bring with them an unsettled feeling, a sense of uncertainty, unrealistic expectations. 

 

Physiologically your body is preparing for a fight, flight or freeze response. Short term this response works perfectly. However, our modern day stressors are not something we can out run, sometimes they are not even visible. Excessive stress over a prolonged period of time can lead to mental and physical illness.

What can be done

Managing stress levels are surprising simple, the key is having consistency with what you know works for you.

Stepping away from the screen to take a walk in nature in the sunshine is immensely effective. Having an awareness of your feelings and taking a few deep abdominal breaths. 

Moving your body regularly, eating and sleeping well. Talking to someone you trust about the pressures you are feeling will all go a long way. You need to have a stress management strategy – if left unmanaged stress will manifest into bigger health problems such as depression, a nervous breakdown, heart disease, high blood pressure, skin conditions or even burnout - which is now recognised as an occupational conditioning according to the World Health Organisation.
