The effects of stress that can be tolerated at any one time depend upon our ability to be adaptable in a world of continued rapid change in order to maintain balance. We tend to be in a state of constant pressure to take control of our own lives and as a result create tension which manifests itself in fear, anxiety, panic and illness.
It is an illusion to look outside ourselves for the answers. It is not the amount of stress that we are under bur rather how we choose to respond to it which results in how we are experiencing stress. An intricate relationship exists between what we think and how it expresses itself through our physical bodies.
On the other hand we need a certain amount of challenge and stress in our lives to reach peak performance. Adopting a lifestyle that is congruent with our stress tolerance is crucial. But how can we do this to achieve optimal levels of stress without destroying ourselves? Education and preventive medicine are crucial for awareness and understanding of what stress and tension can lead to and its effects upon us.
If you continuously experience symptoms of stress such as stress headaches, loss of sleep, poor eating and lack of vitality over a period of time, it is only you who can really do anything about it.
Making inroads to understanding the underlying cause and sources of stress can be a particularly painful and emotionally confusing time. Often it seems far more acceptable to keep the symptoms even if they become a source of extreme discomfort than to deal with the underlying cause.
Illness is nature’s way of getting us in touch with what is going on in an attempt to maintain balance and head off even greater problems. A wonderful opportunity exists here for awareness to alleviate stress and tension and ultimately obviate sickness. We can thus create a way to living harmoniously and in balance with ourselves and nature.
Releasing the power within and integrating mind, body, emotions, self-image, lifestyle, self-expression, meditation and spirituality develops well-being, harmony and good health within us as well as our relationships to the environment.
