25.01.2022 IDENTIFYING STRESS Stress is an adverse reaction(s) experienced to too much (or too little) pressure. What to look for:... These are just a few of the symptoms that are indicators of too much pressure that can come from yourself, work, home, any combination of, or maybe even all three. To read more you can go to my website www.onemindonebody.com.au PSYCHOLOGICAL SIGNS Inability to concentrate or make simple decisions Memory lapses Becoming rather vague Negative thinking Depression & anxiety EMOTIONAL SIGNS Tearful Mood swings Extra sensitive to criticism Feeling out of control Lack of motivation Angry Lack of confidence Lack of self-esteem PHYSICAL SIGNS Aches/pains & muscle tension/grinding teeth Frequent colds/infections Constipation/diarrhoea/ IBS Weight loss or gain Hyperventilating/lump in the throat/pins & needles BEHAVIOURAL SIGNS No time for relaxation or pleasurable activities Prone to accidents, forgetfulness Increased reliance on alcohol, smoking, caffeine, recreational or illegal drugs Poor time management and/or poor standards of work The symptoms that affect you will often accumulate until you are forced to take notice of them. Don’t rationalise the symptoms away, if you are not sure ask for help! It is often the behavioural symptoms that are noticed, as they are more obvious, but by this time stress has been going on for many months, maybe even a year or more. If you would like to book in for a complimentary strategy session just go to the Setmore button at the top of the page and book in! Don't let stress be the thing that holds you back from living your true life!

12.01.2022 FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE The fight-or-flight response, first described by Walter Bradford Cannon, (also called the fight, flight, freeze or fawn, hyperarousal, or the acute stress response) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival. In humans, as in other animals, these hormones help us to run faster and fight harder. They increase heart rate and blood pressure, delivering more oxygen and blood sugar to im...portant muscles. They increase sweating in an effort to cool these muscles, and help them stay efficient. They divert blood away from the skin to the core of our bodies, reducing blood loss if we are damaged. As well as this, these hormones focus our attention on the threat, to the exclusion of everything else. All of this significantly improves our ability to survive life threatening events. However not only life threatening events trigger this reaction: We experience it almost any time we come across something unexpected or something that frustrates our goals. When the threat is small, our response is small and we often do not notice it among the many other distractions of a stressful situation. Unfortunately, this mobilisation of the body for survival also has negative consequences. In this state, we are excitable, anxious, jumpy and irritable. Our Cortisol levels increase and if produced on a regular basis can have a real affect on our weight due to the fact that as a by product of cortisol, insulin is released which is our fat storing hormone. This then reduces our ability to work effectively with other people. With trembling and a pounding heart, we can find it difficult to execute precise, controlled skills. The intensity of our focus on survival interferes with our ability to make fine judgments by drawing information from many sources. We find ourselves more accident prone and less able to make good decisions. Our health suffers and so consequently we are then on this vicious merry go round. In the short term, we need to keep this fight or flight response under control to be effective in our lives. In the long term we need to keep it under control to avoid problems of poor health and burnout. Warning: Stress can cause severe health problems and, in extreme cases, can cause death. In the following days I will show you some of my stress management techniques which can have a positive effect on reducing stress, however they are for guidance only, and readers should take the advice of suitably qualified health professionals if they have any concerns over stress related illnesses or if stress is causing significant or persistent unhappiness. Health professionals should also be consulted before any major change in diet or levels of exercise.
