Ways To Deal With Stress

Stress

A natural and often unwanted irrational emotion. Everybody experiences it from time to time. It is a primary and natural emotion.

It is when our bodies release the hormones adrenaline and cortisol. The same hormones released when we encounter fear or anger. As a result of these releases in hormones our blood pressure, pulse, body temperature and breathing rate may increase, sometimes to potentially dangerous levels.

This natural chemical reaction is designed to give us an instant boost of energy and power and is often referred to as the ‘fight or flight’ reaction.

This means that the body and mind prepare for a fight or for running away from danger. When stressed we find it more difficult to manage our anger effectively. Not dealing with stress can lead to physical health problems. Our bodies are not designed to withstand high levels of adrenaline and cortisol over long periods or on a very regular basis.
