Balancing stress
Stress is basically a natural thing. There is healthy and unhealthy stress. It’s great to mobilize “the entire crew” and run in order to reach the bus, score a goal in football, climb to the top of the mountain or spend an extra hour at work, getting things done, for a while. It is quite normal and a natural part of our physiology.
However it is prolonged unresolved stress that is unhealthy. We can be physically pressured by too much work, pain, accidents, illness or trauma, not to mention mental stress, worries and emotional imbalances. Each of us is comprised of many layers that affect us in different ways. Here is an example of how stress can affect us and how we can re-dress the balance in our lives.
