Being constantly connected via telephones and social media, we never step away. We are always checking in to other peoples lives and comparing them to our own, checking email and worrying. I truly believe we spend a good portion of our day ... WORRYING. What does worry lead to? Stress!
Stress is normalAccording to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)
Stress is a response to environmental pressures or demands (“stressors”), in particular when we feel they are a threat to our coping strategies or well-being. Stress is a normal response to situations where we perceive a threat or danger.
From this perspective, stress is actually good for us. It tells us when there are threats or danger. But what happens now is that stress doesn't happen for brief moments. Stress is long-lasting. For some, we are chronically in this fight or flight stressed-out state.
In today's episode, we break down the stress response. How we experience stress, what the hormones involved are, and how we can combat all of the bad health effects.
