Are you dealing with stress? If yes, we know what you must be going through right now. And, if you are reading this article, you are probably seeking a solution for your troubles.
But, before we give you any advice, we want you to pause for a moment and look at the factors that have brought you into this terrible situation. Is it the frequent conflicts with your partner or a likely divorce? Or, have you lost your job recently? That must be giving you sleepless nights and we are equally displeased as you.
Or, it could be any of these reasons you are identifying yourself with – a chronic illness, money problems, loss of a loved one, peer pressure, loneliness or a workload in the office. Normally, these could throw your life out of balance.
Just accept, you are surrounded by several trigger factors of stress that can bring various illnesses. Let us show you a staggering fact. Millions of cells in the human body die because of the stress hormones generated within.
So, fight out the stressors, as we tell you everything you should know about how stress can affect your life and the biggest solutions which lies in your hands.
How stress attacks?
Your unexplained response to any demand, threat or change is what is termed as stress. In most cases, it is not the situation itself but the way you perceive it that causes stress. Simply put, the threat could be real or imagined.
Your body automatically gets into the ‘fight-or-flight’ mode or protection mode as soon as you identify the stress factor. Your body releases the stress hormones that could harm you in the long run. In the initial stage, the symptoms are mild – irritability and mental fatigue – and later lead to complicated conditions like insomnia, hypertension, diabetes, anxiety, hypertension, depression, memory loss, etc.
Do you know that about 90 percent of the illnesses are caused by stress? In fact, studies show that stress destroys brain cells and causes shrinkage of some areas in the brain. Stress hormones can shut off the body’s growth and the normal functioning of the immune system, resulting in various diseases.
The healing effects of positive thinking
Your body cells are traumatised by stressful thinking. So, the answer to your problems is simple. Just eliminate the negative thoughts. Leave no place for sadness, anger or worry. However, it is easier said than done. Once you understand the mind-body connection, it becomes easier to find and apply the solution.
Hear this out. Merely removing the stress out of your life may not be enough to achieve wellness. In the words of internationally recognised cell biologist, Dr. Bruce H. Lipton,“We can control our lives by controlling our perceptions”. Dr. Lipton, through his discoveries, has proved that the path to wellness is not just by eliminating the stress but by inviting positive thoughts in the mind.
