Stress is a normal part of life... Chronic stress that turns our entire life upside down is not a normal part of life - and it's impacting your health more than you can imagine!
We used to have stressful times, but there was still space in between for our bodies and mind to recuperate.
Today, stress is more prevalent. It is a day-to-day pressure that consumes our work, relationships, sleep, and happiness.
On the inside, stress causes muscle tension, exacerbating respiratory problems, increasing our heart rate and blood pressure, and ultimately increasing our risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.
Our fight or flight response is on overdrive, stress hormones are rushing around our body, and even our stomach is noticing the impact of stress.
Even worse, all this is automatic - we have no control over it!
Or do we? While we may not be able to control our body's reaction to stress, we can control how we respond to stress, even reducing its horrendous impact.
