Hello everyone,
Today I want to talk about the consequences of stress and pressure in your life.
Let’s choose a specific topic and look at it.
For example, the stress and pressure in the context of work.
We all know this stress.
The pressure to finish projects.
To be on time.
To complete tasks.
To withstand endless pressures from the boss, from suppliers.
And to succeed in doing everything despite the difficulties.
Despite personal events.
Despite the children that occasionally get sick.
Most of us manage to cope with the daily stress and pressure,
at least outwardly…
We manage to “survive” another day.
And another day.
But…
Eventually, the stress builds up in your body.
The toxins flood your body.
And the consequences of stress and pressure get to you.
You know the feeling when you suddenly experience a drop in energy?
That you work at full capacity for a few days, and then…
The big drop…?
For some of us it comes on weekends, when it’s supposedly less terrible, but for others the difficulty appears as a surprise.
And suddenly you feel weak.
Sick.
In pain.
Why?
Because stress and pressure also allow diseases to visit.
They weaken the immune system.
They weaken durability of your body.
Its ability to deal with the viruses and bacteria around you.
And suddenly you find yourself sick again.
Missing a day at work again.
Entering the Chicken-and-Egg Cycle again…
You are sick.
You missed work.
Stress and pressure are created and exhaust the body.
The body is weakened.
You get sick…
So how ca we break this vicious cycle?
You can start small…
Find something that calms and balances you.
For example, music, the sea, a good book, breathing exercise, etc.
Gradually introduce these activities into your life.
At first, once a week.
Then, once a day.
And follow the change in how you are feeling.
What do you think?
Complicated, or definitely possible?
What activity will you add to your life?
