Stress is a necessary part of all our lives, just as with water or sunshine. We need some stress or pressure to push us on to perform better, to achieve more.
In fact our stress responses are part of our human survival instincts – the famous “fight or flight” response to danger.
But also like water and sunshine, too much can kill or do serious harm.
When dealing with stressful situations our bodies release chemicals which affect how we react, which speed up our actions, make us think quicker.
Our heartbeat quickens, our blood pressure rises, we may breath more rapidly. These help us react to an emergency.
But while a degree of stress is necessary, too much for too long can create so many problems. Mental problems, physical problems, social and personal problems.
The consequences can become disabling, with the feeling that life is “out of control.” As a result stress has become one of our modern world’s most common cause of ill health, wrecking lives and harming relationships.
Allowed to continue for long periods, stress is known to cause depression, trigger headaches, hypertension, cause upset stomaches, become a factor in heart disease and there is also evidence it can be linked to the development of cancer.
