Some form of stress is part of our lives - even many animals feel stress in their everyday lives (except most household pets!!) Modest stress keeps us pepped up and able to cope.
But have you ever noticed after you have been under a lot of pressure, that soon after you pick up a cold?
Have you ever heard of someone coming down with a heart attack after a long period of over work?
Could there a connection between our emotions and our bodily functions? Read what the respected Mayo Clinic has to say.
Many health authorities are now aware that there IS a connection between on-going, unaddressed stressful reactions and the onset of a disease. Read what a Victorian Government health information site has to say about stress and disease.
Yet some people seem to thrive on being under pressure. The key difference seems to be how we REACT to a stressful situation. Some folks can adapt to on-going pressure and stay OK. Others start to suffer.
If you feel that you are starting to suffer from an on-going stressful situation, then these pages are for you - the "Help Pages" on the right offer some practical ways to start relieving yourself of unnecessary stress, then look at bigger stress issues.
I am not a professional - just an ordinary guy who has lived through a lot of changes and situations over 70 plus years, suffered, learned coping skills and obtained help along the way - what is offered is the benefit of my experience and learning.
I hope you find some relief from working through these pages.
