“When Life Gives you lemons – make lemonade!”
“Accept the pain, cherish the joys, resolve the regrets; then can come the best of benedictions: If I had my life to live over again, – I’d do it all the same”.
Stress within your comfort zone can help you to perform under pressure, motivate you to do your best, even keep you safe when danger looms. The trouble is modern life is so full of frustrations, deadlines and demand that many of us don’t even realise how stressed we are. Stress is your bodies way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you feel threatened, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, which rouse the body for emergency action. Your heart pounds faster, muscles tighten, blood pressure rises, breath quickens and senses become sharper. This is known as “fight or flight” and is your bodies way of protecting you.
The body’s nervous system often does a poor job between daily stressors and life threatening events when you repeated experience the mobilisation of the “fight or flight” response in your daily life, it can lead to a myriad of health problems.
