Stress starts in the mind when we perceive an event to be threatening. We respond to this threat emotionally and physically. We may feel emotions such as anxiety or anger which fuel our response to the perceived threat and we may notice physiological changes in our body synonymous with fight or flight.
Our bodies come equipped with feedback mechanisms that allow us to “stand down” once the threat has passed. Many people are feeling stressed today because these feedback mechanisms are not kicking in and as a result the body is not returning to a relaxed state.
The purpose of this blog is to explore different strategies that can be used to help us deal with stressful events. We will also be sharing techniques to help you monitor your stress levels so that you can minimise the impact stress is having on your health and well-being.
