Your Individual Response to Stress.
Everyone is different when it comes to our specific response to
stress. Some of us cry in response to stress in our lives or have
another emotional response such as anger. Some of us don’t show
any emotional response. Instead, our response to stress might be
to show physical manifestations in the form of insomnia, muscle
tension, headaches or heart attacks.
When you understand your personal “stress response,” you will be
on your way to reducing levels of stress in your life. Some
experts say the most prevalent stress response is when we feel a
release of adrenalin as part of our body’s defense system to
danger or stress.
But you may also have a stress response to your internal thoughts
and feelings such as a need to be perfect. Also, poor eating and
exercise habits, irresponsible behavior, unrealistic expectations
and negative attitudes and feelings can trigger a stress response.
To best handle stress in your life, you need to pay attention to
what triggers your stress response. Your stress response is
critically important because situations and events are not
stressful in themselves. Rather, it’s your stress response or
interpretation of the situations or events that can create a
problem.
For instance, some people view a deadline as a positive challenge
to motivate them. In contrast, people with a poor stress response
may become tense and anxious about a deadline, procrastinating and
avoiding the project due to a fear of failure.
Having a positive and stable stress response will enable you to go
with the flow when there is an emergency in the world and other
events outside of your control. A person who needs to be in
control all of the time will have an unfavorable response to
stress created by unpredictable events such as war, natural
disasters and death.
People who do not develop a positive stress response are more at
risk for dying of a heart attack, suffering with heart disease,
depression, cancer, eating disorders, ulcers and hair loss.
If you are a young woman in your childbearing years, it is
particularly important for you to have a positive stress response
since high levels of stress have been shown to affect the
development of the fetus.
The best response to stress is to learn methods of calming
yourself through exercise, yoga and meditation. If you deal with
chronic stress, it is even more important for you to devise
regular ways to minimize stress in your life.
Chronic stress may stem from childhood abuse. People who have been
a victim of a violent crime also have trouble with their stress
response. Because they are continually experiencing stress
hormones, people with chronic stress who have not developed a
positive stress response, have a lower immune defense system
making them vulnerable to death and disease. In fact, studies have
shown long-term exposure to stress symptoms can have a lethal
effect on your body.
If you want to lower levels of the stress hormone in your system,
try the following five stress response suggestions:
_ Keep it simple. Breath in and out, keeping your stress response
simple. Tell yourself you will take a deep breath when you have a
negative thought or experience a negative situation. Your stress
response is to breath out any worries.
_ Take responsibility. Only you are responsible for your stress
response. Another person cannot make you angry, make you stressed
or make you sad.
_ Listen to your body. Sometimes the best response to stress is to
stretch, unwind, take a refreshing swim or go for a moderately
paced jog.
_ Let go and let God. Whether you believe in a higher power or
not, your best stress response is to let other people or a higher
power take control when it’s not your role.
_ Feed the part of you that is hungry. Some people eat too much
food as their response to stress. Your stress response should be
to feed whatever is hungry, whether it’s your body for exercise,
your mind for information or your heart for affection.
People with any stress symptom, should stick to a healthful eating
and exercise plan. Additionally, we recommend using
Extress to
supplement a healthy diet.
Extress is a homeopathic and nutrition
supplement that is exceptionally effective in providing the body
with the nutritional requirements which aid the body during
periods of stress, tension, anxiety, minor phobic reactions and
complaints of generalized patterns of anxious discomfort.
