Survival Stress- this is our fright/flight stress, where if you are put in danger, your body reacts to the stress to stay and fight or run away. Today we don't get chased by too many lions in the street, but our day to day excess work pressures can create this type of feeling on a regular basis. We just adapt to it and class this as routine.Internal Stress- this is one of the worst types of stress. This is where no matter what type of stress is around you or even if there is little or no stress, we internalize it. Men are best, or should I say worst, at this. They don't express their feelings often, so they keep it inside creating inner turmoil and stress.Anxiety- this is our internal chaos stress. Where we have learnt to worry and become anxious over small issues. This is our negative thought patterns taking control, so that any stress becomes larger than it should.Change- all change is stressful. Changing jobs, shifting house, divorce, deaths etc. We are in an ever changing world so change is all around us and affects us on a regular basis.Family- the dynamics of family life are stressful. You have to put food on the table, clothes on your back and your children's. There are personality clashes, conflicts and arguments which are all stressful.Relationships- is there a perfect relationship? There are good times, bad times and times in between. Our lives change with time and our relationships will change also.Environment- this is not just nature and its' upheavals, but where we live. Do you live in a large city? Do we have sufficient working space? Is the air polluted? Governments? Our environment is always stressful, as it changes constantly.Work Stress- this is the bigger area of stress as we work too hard and work too many hours. We have bosses that can be difficult or employees who don't perform. But what can you do about it?Nutrition and Diet- although this is not an emotional stress, it does create emotional effects if it is too unbalanced. When we are stressed we eat a lot of sugar foods, drink coffee, alcohol etc. So diet and nutrition can add to our stresses once we are already under pressure. Chemicals and additives also are a stress on our digestion and immune systems which can lead to fatigue related stress problems.
It is not the type of stress that is important, but how we cope and deal with it. Learning to remove and prevent every type of stress is the fastest and easiest way to deal with stress. Removing each type of stress is easy;
you just need to know how…
