We hear about the importance of having a balance between mind and body constantly in our stressed culture. It is a topic that is growing in importance in our society. The stress in our daily life, the hurried pace we have to put on our bodies and minds to achieve what is expected in work and in our homes don’t make it an easy job. When the stress increases it puts our body and mind in a situation of extra activity. Our body by nature reacts to stress in a way originally meant to protect you against perceived threats from predators and aggressors, in a fight or flight situation. The long-term activation of the stress-response system can disrupt almost all your body's processes. This puts you at increased risk of numerous health problems including: • Depression • Digestive problems • Heart disease • Memory impairment • Obesity • Sleep problems • Worsening of skin conditions, such as eczema That's why it's so important to learn healthy ways to cope with the stressors in your life.
