Stress is a natural part of life and it can’t always be avoided. It comes from our perception and also emotional reactions to an event or thought. Feeling stress includes anxiety, irritability, frustration, or hopelessness.
Often stress is triggered by your mindset such as sensations of agitation, concern, anxiousness, anger, judgments, resentment, self-doubt and insecurity. These emotions are understood to drain psychological power while engaging in everyday life.
Emotions trigger the nervous system and stress hormones are activated causing harmful effects on the human brain and body.
Stress actually leads to a chaotic pattern in the heart’s rhythm causing your nerve system to run out sync. When this takes place, a cascade of over 1,400 biochemical adjustments are instated that have a wide range of effects on the body’s systems.
