REDUCING YOUR STRESS CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE
For a variety of reasons, many people carry far more stress in their bodies than is healthy.
Research shows that habitual stress (too much for too long) can set up a long list of potential problems which include the following:
-
Decreased ability of the immune system to fight off diseases.
-
Increased susceptibility to mood and emotional disorders.
-
Difficulty focusing and paying attention to what is going on in your body.
-
Disorganization and scattered thoughts
-
Increased vulnerability to heart and blood pressure problems.
-
The development of an eating disorder. Increasingly self-medicating stress with food.
The benefits of deep relaxation in your mind and body include:
-
A strong immune system and an increase in the ability of your mind/body to repair itself
-
Increased productivity due to your improved ability to concentrate and focus
-
Improvement in your relationships, due to more positive mood states
